Using a header (I forget which) you could make 2d ASCII graphics. Not only that but you'd be learning the function names/operations of your graphics library, instead of learning say OpenGL or Direct3D which you'd be forced to learn eventually when you wanted to do real good 3d programming (ie. projects). Making a graphics library would be like one of my expert projects.. I'd learn an actual graphics library first simply so you know what you're actually trying to make, to start, and second because my experience would be way underdeveloped for such a task.
