    Using Paint, Session 1

    Paint is a programme that helps you create pictures and graphics. In this session you will
    learn how to:
    Draw your own freehand shapes with the pencil button
    Take out bits that you dont want
    Draw in different colours
    Draw circles and rectangles
    Colour in shapes, using the fill colour button
    Save your work

    1. Drawing freehand shapes with the pencil.


    The tool bar is on the left hand side of the window.
    Click on the pencil button, then move your mouse pointer into the white painting area of
    the window
    Hold the left mouse button down and move the mouse around. As the mouse moves, a
    line is made on the page. The line stops when the mouse button is released.
    Have a go and experiment for a few moments

    2. Take out bits that you dont want


    There are three ways that you can take out bits that you dont want:
    1. You can rub things out. Click on the Eraser button to make the pointer turn into a rubber.
    Point at the bits you want to take out, press the left mouse button and then move the
    mouse around. Experiment.
    2. You can remove the last thing that you did. While holding down the Ctrl key (control
    key) on the keyboard, press the Z key. The last thing you did will disappear. Experiment.
    3. Start again completely.
    Click on the Image menu option on the menu bar at the top of the screen, then click on the
    Clear Image option at the bottom of the list. Experiment

    3. Draw in different colours


    Towards the bottom of the screen is the Colour Pallet. To draw in different colours, click on
    the colour you want first. You can change colours at any time. Experiment!

    4. Draw circles and rectangles

    Click on the Ellipse or the Rectangle buttons on the tool bar.


    Point the mouse pointer at the place on the page where you want the shape to be.
    Click the mouse button, and while holding it down, move the mouse. A circle or rectangle will
    be made on the page. Its size and shape will depend on how you move the mouse. Experiment
    making some circles and rectangles of different shapes and colours. See if you can reproduce
    the screen below.

    5. Colour in shapes, using the fill colour button


    Click on the Fill With Colour button on the tool bar. Imagine this tool to be like a tin of paint
    that you can pour to fill a shape you have already made
    Choose the colour that you want
    Click in the shape that you want to colour. It will be filled with the colour you have chosen. You
    can change
    colour at any
    time.
    Experiment
    with colouring
    in the shapes
    that you have
    already drawn.

    6. Saving your work

    Click on the File option on the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Scroll down and click on Save As. The Save As window will appear.
    Open the Work folder. Your teacher will show you how.
    In the File Name field towards the bottom of the window, type a name for the work. Try to think
    of a name that will remind you what the work is about. You might want to include your name. Eg
    Kylies shape work
    Click on the Save button. Your work will be there ready to load and use again another time.

    Challenge: Modern Art


    Draw a long squiggly line over the page. Fill in the shapes with different colours to make an attractive piece of modern
    art. Try to use all of the colours. Try not to have any bordering shapes with the same colours.
