In this unit, we learned how to use the pen tool. The pen tool is a tool for cutting out shapes. We did many exercises using the pen tool. This includes the exercises introducing the pen tool where i cut out simple shapes to very hard shapes like the spider. The second assignment was the penny exercise where we practiced cutting out specific things like the man in the coin. The last assignment was choosing two pictures and making a scene. My scene includes a person and a cloud for the background. It's a girl sitting on top of the clouds. Each of these assignments taught me the importance of the subselect tool because after tracing it, you can use the subselect tool to go back and retrace or edit the shape. When cutting out the shapes, one of the hardest thing was to accurately trace over it. I also learned how to make the shape have a slight curve or a big curve by clicking the touchpad when tracing it so that it makes a curve. When you need to make a curve and then trace a straight line, you must click "alt". I enjoyed this unit as we were able to experiment with many shapes and learn to use different keyboard options.
