A colleague at work showed this to me and I loved it! The music, the graphics, the typography — what a breath of fresh air in the stock photo-filled inspirational movie world! Check out more great movies at Box of Crayons.

It is Teacher Appreciation Week in the United States and, May 4, is the official “Teacher Appreciation Day”. At Poster-Street.com we created this little free digital story using PowerPoint and SlideShare as a way to celebrate the wonderful work teachers do every day.

If you’re looking for free clip-art to include in a poster, newsletter of flyer, look no further – the Open Clip-art Library is here! Thanks to a blog post on Open Clip-Art Library relaunch I came across this comprehensive site that claims to have 26,648 images. The Open Clip-art Library project aims to create an archive of clip art that can be used freely for any type of use.

To put it to a test, I tried several searches – some were more successful than others.

My search for the words “world” brought up couple of images of planet earth, “girl” pulled up some very cute clip-art of cartoon-like characters,  “reading” led to two pages of images that seemed somewhat related and “math” brought up two more pages with a few related but many unrelated images.

I had a hard time understanding how a search for the word “book” brought up over 11 pages of images that included pictures of a tree, a whale, glasses and a space  shuttle. On the other hand, the search for the word “strawberry” pulled up one page of clip-art that seemed quite accurate (see screenshot below).

Regardless of the somewhat dubious keywords used to tag some of the images, I still think this can be a good resource if you’re looking to save some money and lack the skills to draw your own custom art.

The clip-art would be ideal for creating free posters, cards, flyers and newsletters for your school or charity event.  If you’re artistically talented you can even upload your own clip-art to the website. Keep in mind that all graphics submitted to the Open Clip-art Library will be placed into the Public Domain according to the statement by the Creative Commons.
