Getting Ready
Description: Paint is a drawing tool you can use to create simple or elaborate drawings. These drawings can be either black-and-white or color, and can be saved. You can print your drawing, use it for your desktop background, or paste it into another document. We will create a tiled design and practice our drawing skills!
Instructions: Students will need MS Paint and Internet Explorer open on their computer. You can quickly switch between programs using “Alt” and “Tab” on your keyboard. You will watch short movie tutorials to walk you through completing the project. You may press pause on your movie to complete steps in your Paint document.
Grading Rubric: View the Grading Rubric to get an idea of the activities that will be completed and how they will be graded. The grading rubric will be passed out in class. If you need another copy of the grading rubric, you may download and print a copy of the grading rubric.
