GRM-23 Week 8, Session 2
This week, as we begin our survey of Adobe Illustrator, we explore the pen tool and its function in the creation of paths.
We begin learning the Illustrator terminology, studying anchor points, direction lines, straight line segments and curves. Using the templates labeled curve template, corner template and maple leaf template, we practice both the creation of paths, the way segments can join, and the editing of paths.
As we continue our study of Illustrator, we will pay more mind to strokes and fills, transformations, masks and compound paths, Illustrator layers, exporting Illustrator files to other programs.
Because graphic artists need to be cognizant of copyright law, we begin our discussion of copyright as we prepare to study Illustrators fills, strokes, and layers by reviewing Shepard Fairey’s Obama Poster and other graphic illustrations and listening to NPR’s Terry Gross interview.
!!!ATTENTION!!! – Coming Monday, March 3rd
There will be a QUIZ on your reading, both online reading assignments and reading in “White Space” through the end of Chapter 9.
