Art Generators

Weavesilk

http://weavesilk.com/

Weavesilk is a browser-based art generator that one can use to create beautiful images using simple mouse movements. It has a limited amount of settings, such as only being able to pick from 7 colors, only being able to undo/redo once, no eraser, and no layering system. However, past that,  it allows somebody with a narrow understanding of art and art programs to create stunning images. It's simplicity may be seen as a negative, but for those who just want a program to hop on, mess around and make some cool images, this is perfect.

Sumo Paint

http://www.sumopaint.com/app/

Sumo Paint is another browser based art generator/program, which is much more complex than the aforementioned Weavesilk. This program is actually extremely similar to Photoshop in it's layout, capabilities, and settings, but it's slightly more limited (as this program is FREE, and you have to PAY for Photoshop). This program would most benefit those who want something as similar as possible to Photoshop. However, it's not very user-friendly to those who do not understand Photoshop, and the program has various bugs (some that you can work around) that can make it infuriating to use. It also has a few interesting tools, like the Symmetry Tool, that are not present in Photoshop and provide the user with new things to mess around with. For those that understand it, there are many things that one can create using this program, with many different ways to go about it due to there being less limitations in contrast to Weavesilk.

thisissand

http://thisissand.com/

thisissand is a browser-based art program that allows the user to sprinkle sand-like particles on the screen to create an image. In the picture above, I used various different layers of different shades of sand to create a landscape. This program, like Weavesilk, is somewhat limited in it's options. It does not allow you to remove the "sand," change transparency, create layers, but can be used by anybody from a professional artist to a greenhorn to create images that may form simple ideas (like the one above) or much more complex pieces like the one to the left.. If there's anything to take away from this, just try it out. Anybody will have fun messing around with this one.

random art

http://www.random-art.org/online/

There is not much to say about this one: it's a simple website that allows one to type in anything and based on the word it will create a randomly-generated image (I'm unsure how the image is based on the words, but the same word will always create the same image.) The word I used for the image above was gallery, and here's a few more interesting ones that I've made:

typed:jims

typed: 1023

typed: jere

In short, this is just a website that one would try out to type in some words, names, or phrases to attempt to make a cool-looking image. You can't modify the image in any way (at least not on the website itself) other than changing what words/letters/numbers you use. As limited as it sounds, you can actually make some really cool things with it.
