Either you can checkout Quil in clojurescript, which is wrapping Processing for js. It's a well designed and mostly imperative-style graphical environment.
https://github.com/quil/quil/wiki/ClojureScript You can, of course, use the ordinary js methods to create and paint on a canvas element like these: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8330956/can-the-html5-canvas-element-be-created-from-the-canvas-constructor Given that you write [:canvas ... ] in your question, maybe you want to use a templating library that uses the hiccup-styled vector-html-syntax, like Hipo [3]. (ClojureScript doesn't interpret [:p "hello"] as a p-tag by itself, but it's a good datastructure to generate html-source, dom-nodes or even react components from. [3] https://github.com/jeluard/hipo/ There's also a clojurescript library called Monet which seems to be designed for painting canvases: [4] https://github.com/rm-hull/monet React? As you probably know, React takes a different approach to dom manipulation which makes me recommend you to avoid trying to paint canvases with it for now. Not that it wouldn't be possible - for instance Flipboard uses a react-based canvas renderer [5], but I would be very certain on both React, ClojureScript and Canvas manipulation before I would use it. Rumors claim that React was inspired by computer game graphics, which were conservative on which pixels it actually touched and something similar would indeed suit canvases very well, but I'm not wether there are any clojurescript libraries/attempts on this (although it's tempting!).
