Mr. Rich's Vector Graphics: Intro - Act. 1 - Act. 2 - Act. 3 - Act. 4 - Act. 5 - Act. 6 - Extra

Basic Shapes - Activity #2

Learning to trace with vector graphics.        
Use as few "nodes" as possible!  (See samples inside this file.)

File Size: 105 kb
File Type: svg
Download File

STOP!  
Download the 'basic-shapes' file.

Picture
Open the file and it will look like this. (I also have the "Layers" window open.)

Trace the Basic Shapes

Use a Stroke Width between 6 and 10.
Use only the number of nodes from the samples (in the "Do not trace here" section).

Be warned.  The first two are much easier than the other!  Take your time!

Full marks will be awarded:
  • if there is no black outside the trace lines
  • if there is no white inside the trace lines



Quick Tips

If your handles (circles) disappear, you can hold down SHIFT and click-and-drag on the node to get them back!

How did he do that?

Here's a video to get you started with the Basic Shapes.

Topics:
  • Clicking to get the nodes and then going back later to clean up the curves.
  • Changing the stroke width.
  • Using "Shift-ClickAndDrag" to get handles for nodes.
  • A quick introduction to "Layers".
