Library for simple drawing with jQuery

Is it still relevant? As I can understand, this library is more of a programming exercise for the author, and it wasn't updated for over 2 years.

I am going to learn JavaScript and start with some simple drawing. I guess I have to learn a lot at once: JavaScript, CSS, some framework (i.e. jQuery, Dojo) I decided to try Dojo; it seems like a rich library with many extensions. It has graphics extension dojox.gfx which looks like a capable graphics library.

OTOH, jQuery doesnt't seem to offer graphics capabilities by itself. Versions of Tetris in jQuery that I saw [1] all use CSS manipulation to show bricks. I saw quite impressive reimplementation of classic game with jQuery [2] that seems to use CSS to implement tiles and goes from there. I can feel that code is clean and good, but there is too much for me at once.
