Today's assignment is really simple. Second and third year students should have no problem at all with it. But EVERYONE, first, second and third year alike, needs to be able to do this... So do the following things: 1 Watch the video from the DPL Visual Arts YouTube channel titled "FINDING, DOWNLOADING and OPENING INKSCAPE". 2 Find and SAVE an image online that you would like to work with. 3 Find, download and open INKSCAPE PORTABLE 4 Once INKSCAPE PORTABLE is open, go to FILE and then IMPORT. At the bottom of the IMPORT box click FILES OF TYPE and then select ALL IMAGES. Find your image on your computer, select it and then go to OPEN. 5 Once your file opens in INKSCAPE, I want you to look at the tools in the TOOL BAR on the left side of the screen. It looks like this: NOW, I don't care WHAT you do to your image, as long as you REALLY mess it up (that is to say alter or change it) using the different tools in the TOOL BAR. Just experiment with them, see what you can get them to do... PLAY. Your Assignment #3A will be considered highly successful as long as you've drawn, scribbled, typed or otherwise changed the appearance of your image A LOT. Just make sure I can still see part of the original image so I can recognize it.
