I love using clip art with my printed documents. It adds liveliness to your work. I tested out 5 links to see which were the best to use for importing clip art. I added comments about which were good sites and which weren’t.

Here they are:

1. http://classroomclipart.com/cgi-bin/kids/imageFolio.cgi?direct=Clipart/Musical_Instruments

This website had good clipart but there were some pop up ads that were

annoying.

Here are 2 examples of clip art from this site. The clip art is harder to move it around once you import it into your documents.

2. http://office.microsoft.com/clipart/default.aspx?lc=en-us&cag=1

Here is Office Microsoft Clip art. I do like their pictures better than the classroom clip art’s website. Here is examples from this site.

This clip art was easier to import to my page and

move it around. Also, there were no pop up ads on

this page.

3. http://clippart.sitemynet.com/main.html This website has free animated clipart but if you copy it without downloading them, the movements/animations cease. This site also had lots of pop-up ads.

4. http://www.kidsdomain.com/clip/ There is clipart on here covering many categories also. I liked the items from this website also and I didn’t notice any pop-up ads. It is a free site too. Here are some examples from this site.

5. http://www.clipartcastle.com/ This site seemed wonderful with the offer of the free clip art but there is a survey form you have to complete before entering the site.

I liked the samples that were advertised but I didn’t want to fill out the survey sheet so I wouldn’t recommend that one.

Out of all of these, I really like using the Office Microsoft Clip Art. I’ve been using that for a while. I also liked the kids domain clip art too.
