Paint me a picture.

This half term in Computing we are going to use technology to paint a picture. Over the next few weeks we are going to learn some of the features of Paint so we can ‘make’, ‘draw’ or ‘paint’ the best picture we can on the computer.

First we need to load the program – we need to find the correct icon – It might not be on the main page but in the program menu – so we have to search!  
This week we are going to get use to the touch pad for drawing

Brushes allow us to leave marks like lots of different types of pens, pencils and brushes.
– remember what colour is in ‘Color 1’ (American spelling of colour!) is the colour you will draw or paint.

You will need to remember – Press down on the touch pad to put the pencil down, and with another finger move the cursor around the screen to draw the shape you want.

One of the most important things we will learn today is UNDO – if we don’t like what we have just done we can undo it – take it off the page – in Art with paint this is something we can’t do – What does the icon look like? If you reply on the blog this week you will get a BEST point.
