Starting A Digital Art Program With Open Source

Posted by timothy on from the iterative-drawing dept.

An anonymous reader writes "We are running mainly Windows on our HS campus with the exception of Macs in the visual arts department, and are just beginning to get into the process of teaching using computers in the area of art. What recommendations do you have for starting a program? I am looking fo apps that will be able to be used on both our Macs and on our PCs in the Library etc., and specifically I am looking for a program (curriculum, not software) for teaching digital art concepts using the FOSS tools that are out there. I am aware of Gimp, Blender, and Inkscape, but have not seen any curriculum per se. Any help?"

  1. GiMP is like Data by insomnyuk · · Score: 0, Troll

    While fully functional, GiMP, like Data, can be extremely annoying, and if you are drunk and don't know what you are doing, will probably just end up fucking you.
