This article (http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/html-5-canvas-the-basics/), from our good friends at Opera, delves into the basic usage of the new canvas element which you can now use on all the modern browsers (not IE).
canvas gives you an easy and powerful way to draw graphics using JavaScript. For each canvas element you can use a "context" (think about a page in a drawing pad), into which you can issue JavaScript commands to draw anything you want. Browsers can implement multiple canvas contexts and the different APIs provide the drawing functionality.
