You (and the school) realize Tux Paint runs on Windows (and Mac) too,
right? :)

That's always been my home!  On occasion, folks also contribute stuff
they pull from places like Wikimedia and CreativeCommons.

For those who aren't good at photography or drawing, helping prep
pre-existing free content for use in Tux Paint is a good way to volunteer
(hint, hint) :)

Oh, also note that as of the previous version (0.9.18), Tux Paint's
"Magic" tools are plug-in based, meaning people can write their own,
if they know (or want to learn) the C programming language. :^)
