CLO: Students will participate in the creative process (researching) by using the appropriate technology, listening, reading or referencing tutorials to explore Adobe Illustrator's shape, pen & pathfinder tools. WHAT ARE YOU LEARNING? I will be able to draw using Adobe Illustrator's shape, pen & pathfinder tools. HOW WILL I KNOW YOU GET IT? By creating a colored vector image using tutorials as reference. And then talk about their tool & color decisions with peers. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? Unlike JPEGs, GIFs, and BMP images, vector graphics are not made up of a grid of pixels. Instead, vector graphics are comprised of paths, which are defined by a start and end point, along with other points, curves, and angles along the way. A path can be a line, a square, a triangle, or a curvy shape. These paths can be used to create simple drawings or complex diagrams and blown up to any size. The pathfinder tool allows you to divide shapes apart and weld them together. The pen tool allows you to manipulate a point or draw a shape. REQUIREMENTS: Size: 8.5x11 Medium: Adobe Illustrator CS6 VOCABULARY: Show me how to use: pen, shape tool, stroke & fill tools. Difference between vector & raster images. Pathfinder tool: weld, divide Align tools, gradient, pencil tool, anchor points, custom brushes Shortcuts: copy, cut, paste, etc

CLO: I will be able to create a vector image in .PDF or JPEG file by experimenting and choosing correct trace, expand, shape, pen, gradient & fill tools tools of Illustrator to add color. WHAT ARE YOU LEARNING? I will be able to add color using trace, expand, shape, gradient & fill tools tools of Illustrator. HOW WILL I KNOW YOU GET IT? By creating a colored vector image using the design cycle to brainstorm, trace, color and talk about their tool & color decisions with peers. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? Unlike JPEGs, GIFs, and BMP images, vector graphics are not made up of a grid of pixels. Instead, vector graphics are comprised of paths, which are defined by a start and end point, along with other points, curves, and angles along the way. A path can be a line, a square, a triangle, or a curvy shape. These paths can be used to create simple drawings or complex diagrams and blown up to any size. Because vector-based images are not made up of a specific number of dots, they can be scaled to a larger size and not lose any image quality. If you blow up a raster graphic, it will look blocky, or "pixelated." When you blow up a vector graphic, the edges of each object within the graphic stay smooth and clean. This makes vector graphics ideal for logos, which can be small enough to appear on a business card, but can also be scaled to fill a billboard. REQUIREMENTS: Size: 8.5x11 Medium: Adobe Illustrator CS6 Image trace size: Must be 800x800 DPI or More & back and white image to trace. NO GRAY TONES VOCABULARY: Show me how to use: trace, expand, shape, gradient, stroke & fill tools tools. Difference between vector & raster images Start by watching video to learn how to convert and image to VECTOR. |
