Hello students! i have begun to receive your drawings and they look great. here is the next step i would like you to take. you've drawn the stick figure. now draw the same image but a little more realistic and fleshed out.
that's your sneak peak for friday. we are working on moving from stick figures to legitimate figure drawings!
this yoga pose known as warrior 2. try drawing it. it's super easy and way more fun to draw than a stick figure just standing there.

on this computer, the scroll pad can be pressed on the left or right side to trigger pop-up boxes. your computer or mouse will have a left and right click option. if you accidentally right click and a pop-up window appears, just hit escape. that's what "esc" stands for and it's a useful key to try when anything appears on your screen that you would like to remove. hold "alt" and press "print screen" to take a screen shot of everything you see on the screen. the key on my computer says "prt sc". yours will say that or something close like "prtscn". your computer will hold onto the image until you open an app to view it in. hold "control" and press "v" to view the image. you will first open paint then use this shortcut to view, edit, and save the image. |
