Our new online Art Tool is Canvas from Google!
First we will start with some exercises learning the different tools within the App
Next I will give you some challenges that will increase in complexity, so do yourself a favor and spend time actually learning the tool first, not just goofing around with it :)
Process To Follow
1. Watch both these short introductory videos on Canvas
2. Practice and try some of the techniques displayed.
Pay special attention to how to use LAYERS - this will be important
3. Complete the assignments below
1. Now you will create a Google Slide with screenshots of the following.
One slide for each screen shot below - so 4 Google Slides.
1. Example Of Each Drawing Tool
( this can be done in one image/slide, but give me examples of each drawing tool with various line weights, colors etc./)
2. Layers:
Show an obvious example of using multiple layers.
Screenshot your work to show the layers panel on the right
3. Solid Color Back Ground
Show an obvious example of a colored background (like my Fish tank :)
4. Annotate An External Image
For this example, put a mustache on a famous person, or your maybe your favorite teacher, other than me of course ! [no political or religious figures please - or zero credit]
Turning it In
Turn your 4 slide Google Slide doc into Google Classroom
**DO NOT ADD A TITLE SLIDE**
Get To The App
ART ALERT
*you can no longer create a "Gallery" in Canvas and save your work online if you are under 18.
So you will need to download your work as an image and then "open from image" and add layers to keep working on multiple days**
