Written by Ummm, should I even mention that I found a website that works great with the SMARTBoard but qualifies more as a fun site than an education site? Of course I will. It may just be that perfect site for your school's computer-based art class.
If you're looking for some "funky ways to express yourself" (or someone else) you definitely need to check out "BeFunky." This is a free site that let's you make cartoon images of yourself using your own pictures. You can then add cool effects to your image to keep you laughing for hours. They even have a section that lets you create a cartoon avatar of yourself.
Here's the funky way I changed around my 2-year old son Wesley.
I could have done so much more to the little guy. Fortunately, he was in a good mood this morning so I decided not to give him devil horns or a funky goatee. All I did was use the sketch and color features and then I put a fun frame around it.
Have fun with this one! You deserve it!
Sharing is Caring!
This site is great – I used the warp tool with pictures of my students and got lots of laughs! Thanks!

Hi Jim!
Thanks so much for all the awesome tips! You describe everything so clearly. I’m looking forward to using befunky to make an avatar to use on my class blog. I was also thinking it would be fun to use to put pictures of my students on the blog. Since we have to be so careful about NOT showing students, this is a great way to get around that.
