Clipart
Clipart consists
of graphics that can be used to add piazza to any multimedia
project including papers, presentations, and web pages.Some
programs like Microsoft Word and Hyperstudio have built-in
clipart, but sometimes you cannot find what you are looking
for or the program that you are using does not have built-in
clipart. If this is the case, you will need to find your own
clipart and one of the best places to look is on the web.
Where to find
A
list of suggested websites that you can use to locate royalty-free
clipart follows, or you can use a search engine to locate
additional clipart websites.
As you are searching
for clipart and images, please be sure to look for images
that are not copyrighted! If you find a copyrighted image
that you would really like to use, ask the owner for permission
to use it for educational purposes.
How to save
When you find a
clipart image that you like, you will need to save it on disk
or in the ETC folder. It is a good idea to keep all clipart
that you save in one location to make it easy to find when
you want to use it later on. To save clipart from the web:
-
Click and hold
the mouse button on the image that you would like until
a pop-up menu appears.
-
Choose Download
Image to Disk (Internet Explorer) or Save this
image as... (Netscape).
-
Use the Save
Image dialog box, to navigate to the location that you
would like to save your image.
-
If you like,
you can rename the image by typing a new name in the Name:
(Explorer) or Save image as: (Netscape) field.
Make sure that you do notdelete the extension that follows
the name (either .gif or .jpg) when you change it because
that is how the computer identifies the file as an image.
NOTE:
It is recommended that you do this only if it has a
name that makes it difficult to identify what the image
is.
-
Click the Save
button.
