Art is a very valuable undertaking for anyone, but it is especially important for children. Kids who engage in art tend to score higher in seemingly unrelated subjects such as math and reading.
Computer art is something every child should have the opportunity to try their hand at, but popular computer art programs such as GIMP or Photoshop are way too advanced for even the brightest child to comprehend. Fortunately, there is Tux Paint. Tux Paint addresses all of the problems and concerns that are an issue with other paint programs, and the best part is that it's open source and free for anyone.
Tux Paint is released under an open source license, so if you run a school or daycare, you may feel free to install and use this program however you want, without any costly licenses.
Your child will appreciate the fact that Tux Paint is intuitive yet extremely powerful. Your child's pictures will be of the utmost quality, with excellent resolution. Tux Paint is simpler than MS Paint, and allows children to create easily without sacrificing quality, making it a much better program overall.
The layout is clear cut and easy to understand, with everything instantly available at your child's fingertips. It's impossible to become lost due to how this program is laid out.
There is much more than a palette of colors and a few brush tips in Tux Paint. Over 50 brush tips are available and range from simple opaque, watercolor and squared tips to amazing ones like cats and realistic looking leaves. Your child can draw a cat running across their picture by simply drawing with the cat brush tip; the cat will actually run in the direction that your child paints.
Tux Paint requires absolutely no knowledge of computers beyond basic mouse skills. The program automatically handles file naming and storage, saving pictures to a default save directory which may be changed if desired.
Does the idea of your child wandering through the program files of your operating system stop you from letting them make art on the computer? Tux Paint has the solution! Just open the Tux Paint Config program that installs with the paint program and use the security tools within. Full screen and cursor grab modes prevent children from exiting the game, ensuring that they only play around with art, and not your important system settings.
Overall, Tux Paint is an amazing program for children that gives them a solid introduction to computer based art. As a parent, you may use this program to inspire your child to someday learn more advanced programs like Photoshop. Children will approach these more advanced paint programs with confidence due to their familiarity with the concept of computer art. The fact that such a robust and well made program is free for all, including businesses and schools, is truly amazing.
