Wouldn’t it be fun if there was just a week of school where you drew the whole time! Well that’s exactly what we did! And Ill tell you about it and what we were drawing exactly…
Getting started
To start we were told that we were going to be experimenting with the app sketches pro.
We had to start by making a grid with six sections and try a different tool in each one, this is to get us used to the way they look and feel to use. We also were experimenting with pressure on the Apple Pencil. With the Apple Pencil you are able to apply a certain amount of pressure and that how dark or how light the colour is.
Calligraphy
That same day we were tasked with writing any word we wanted including our own name and really personalize it. We were encouraged to use the tools we had just experimented with. The word I chose was “Inspire” I wanted to use my favourite tool to write with the calligraphy pen that really makes your lettering smoother and just better!
3D Shapes
The next lesson we were working on was creating a shape that realistically looks 3D. Some of the tips and tricks we learned were to use darker shading around the bottom and lighter near the top. Then we were tasked with making a robot with 3D and making it fun and personalized.
😮💨😭😍🙄🤪- Emojis
has there ever been a time that there was an emoji that you really wanted to use but you couldn’t find one that represented your feeling? Well we got to make our own for those exact moments! I decided to be a bit silly and create a “farting emoji” I mean I would use it! I joined the relaxed emoji and embarrassed emoji and some of my own creativity and created my masterpiece. Be honest would you use this? In what situation? Tell me in the comments!
Design A Logo
We were given the fun task of creating a fake business and making a logo that represents our business. I decided to create a beads business and my target audience was Taylor Swift fans. To start we were given a sheet to fill out on our business name our colours and words that relate to our business. A big one I thought I could include was rainbow 🌈 as in colourful and my business is just that because all the beads are many colours.
Reflection
I have learned so much in this part of our maker learning I have learned more about my IPad my IPad apps and my Apple Pencil. All of these skills that I have developed can also help me in future presentations of my learning in other PLP projects. Another thing I learned though was who I am as an artist on the IPad of corse with all the tools provided it makes things a lot easier and me being someone who was never really strong with art it helped me so much. In conclusion You can always learn more even when youuuu think you are horrible you can always get better and still if you think its impossible there will be other strategies and opportunities to try harder.
Thanks for reading and stay posted for my next post! 👍
