Canvas-powered art apps
The HTML5 canvas is the substrate underneath most browser art apps; this page surfaces the catalog entries that lean on it most directly. Mostly Creative-category work — paint apps, kaleidoscopes, pattern generators, drawing toys — with a few Interactive pieces that use canvas for visual output. The 'canvas' label is also a craft signal: these creators wrote their rendering loops themselves.
