I Love Star Art!

Star clip art can be used for all seasons and for all reasons.

Its shape can be filled in with color, outlined in the swift strokes of a marker or added to with additional shapes and markings to create a badge like the one to the left.

Load your favorite star into a graphics program and change its color or use it as the basis for a new design. Add more decoration to it or stretch it into a different style of star.

Just remember what the word "star" means and use your star art wisely. *

- an ace: someone who is dazzlingly skilled in any field
- any celestial body visible (as a point of light) from the Earth at night
- a plane figure with 5 or more points; often used as an emblem
- indicating the most important performer or role; "the leading man"; "prima ballerina"; "prima donna"; "a star figure skater"; "the starring role"; "a stellar role"; "a stellar performance"

How To Manipulate Hidden Stars

You will need a graphics program like Photoshop or PhotoPaint--software that allows you to open and manipulate a file with the extensions .jpg, gif, .bmp, .png or other artwork extensions.

Obtain artwork on a CD or scan it from another source like magazines or books. The Tile Designs (Pictura) book by Dover (shown above with a link) is a good example.

Open the clip art in the graphics program and use the software's "Crop Tool" to grab the portion of the art you want to work with. Crop the art and save the new shape to its own file. From there you can manipulate colors, shapes and add other cropped items or art work to create a unique version--your version--of a star.

I created a simple one for you using a basic red star.
