Students could create their own backgrounds and share as a post on their blogs.

Unsplash and Pixabay are great places to find images that are free to use and share. Students could create a piece of digital art or photo collage. There are a lot of options to do this. Some are graffiti maker, art inspired by jackson pollock, sumo paint, pixel art, to name but a few. If you do know of some other cool apps, please let us know,
