Wednesday 9/16 & Thursday 9/17

Pen Tool & Clipping Paths

We will start with quick 1 min About Me presentations so we can share our work and learn about each other so we can be a stronger, collaborative class. 

 

Afterwards, you will learn all about the pen tool in Photoshop. This tool can be an extremely frustrating tool to learn, but it is one of the most useful tools you will learn in Photoshop. It is very important you watch Mr. Wiant’s tutorial BEFORE you try to use the tool yourself so you don’t get lost while learning this tool.

 

1 min Presentation Expectations

1. Speak loudly and clearly so we can hear you. 

2. Start by sharing your name. 

3. Describe your design and the elements you used. 

4. Optional - share what tools you used in the design.
