AI_Illustrator

Adobe Illustrator is a vector drawing application. We completed only three projects in this application, but students enjoyed each of them.

Self- Portrait - In this project students used the blob brush tool to trace an image of themselves. Then they used the pencil tool to color themselves. Once their self portrait was completed, they had to create a custom background. Although, most students were not good with the pen tool in Photoshop, they are slowly getting the hang of this difficult to learn tool.

EarthDay - To increase student awareness about our natural resources, students created posters related to earth day. This project gave them experience using the shapes tools and they are starting to really appreciate the power of the pen tool.

Line Art - students had to create a diagram using only the pen, line and shapes tools. By the end of this assignments, most students loved the pen tool. This was a frustrating assignment for many students, because if their lines were not straight or if the students got sloppy, it showed big time in their finished project.
