Description

In this unit pupils discover how to use drawing tools to create vector images. They will recognise that images in vector drawings are created using shapes and lines and individual elements are called a objects. Pupils use layering, grouping and duplication to create more complex images.

Having previously explored digital painting, pupils are now ready to progress to creating vector drawings. This unit helps them understand that vector images are built from shapes and lines, with each element acting as an object that can be layered, grouped, and duplicated. Learning this now allows pupils to move from freehand creative work to more precise, structured image creation, giving them the tools to design complex digital artwork and laying the groundwork for future work with graphic design and multimedia projects.
