OBJECTIVE: Students will complete their standing picture frame.
Class was started 2nd Period with Ms. Jordan and Mr. Kirsch assisting students with finishing their picture frames. Students who got their frames done were then allowed to complete the Illustrator Level 1 assignments in the computer lab. Frames must be done today -- we will be presenting them next period.
During 4th Period, last week's order of operation worksheet was returned to students and discussed.
Following this, Mr. K demonstrated the use of the pen tool in Illustrator to make curves. There are three primary uses of the pen tool:

Simply clicking at each point with the mouse and releasing results in straight lines connecting all anchor points.
Clicking and dragging at each point allows you to create a curve using handles and tangent lines that can later be edited to modify the final shape.
Clicking, dragging, and then using the ALT key will allow one to break the tangent line so that you can have two different slopes (one going into, and one leaving the anchor point) so that you can have a sharp point on your shape.

To better master this tool, the pen tool game was played by each student. This game is intended to assist you in learning the use of the pen tool. YOU DO NOT NEED ILLUSTRATOR AT HOME TO DO THIS GAME -- it is accessed via a web browser.
Time permitting, students were asked to work on this Illustrator Level 2 Worksheet. Follow the instructions in the lesson. You will need to save this to your Google Drive, and open it within Illustrator to work on it.
