Digital Art

 In TWP 4 we've been learning and practicing how to make art on our devices. 

The steps were easy to follow and our teacher demonstrated to us first.

Step 1: Find an image to trace. The more simple the better. We choose a simple cartoon dog like this one.


Step 2: Find out whether to use the Curve or Polyline tool to begin tracing. This is important to know the rule for this is:

If there are curved edges, then for that section of the image, use curve. 
If there are sharp edges, use polyline for the section

Step 3: Check if you can use any shapes to create part of the image. - For our dog it was mostly lots of different sized circles. This made colouring so much easier.

Step 4: Start tracing the image. Use your different lines or shapes to colour over your picture. Remember to zoom in and not to move your picture until you're finished.

Here are some of our drawings.

  1. Kia ora TWP. We like how accurate your drawings were and we liked how you used labels for your blog post. This reminded us of some drawings we did last year. Have your thought about using gradients with your colours? Also maybe you make one of your drawings smaller so it fits on the page. From Room 8 @ Owairaka District School.
