Kinetic Canvas

About

Kinetic Canvas is an interactive art experience.  Click and draw stunning animated patterns that overlap and form new shapes and colours. 

There are thousands of random combinations that happen each time you play, so every session you have is unique.

This is not a game - there are no levels, no score, no challenges - it's just you, creating light, colors and art on a canvas.

It's simple and beautiful - perfect to help you relax, and for meditation.
