#2 - With your browser open and connected to the Internet, click on
the Search button or magnifying
glass icon on the browser's toolbar and a page will
load with a "search engine" selected... OR use
the small window to type in the following search keywords: free
+graphics

The search
engine will return a list of links for you to choose from. Choose
one or browse through several sites until you find a fairly
small (approximatley one square inch or slightly larger) graphic
image you like.
Another
quick way to find images is to go to Google's website
and click on "Images" before you search instead of the "Web"
choice in the menu and then search for Images based on a subject.

Save
it to your zip disk or hard drive. (I
usually save to my desktop then create a folder for them) Be
sure to either rename the file as you save it or remember the
name the file already has.

an email message to me using my class
Email account name cabrillodave@gmail.com Include the following
in that email to me:
A link
to the page where you got the graphic image
Insert
the image into the email message
A text
message about what you found in your search
