ASSIGNMENT #4: COLORING BOOK CHALLENGE:
Let's go back to Kindergarten and color!  

 You will need a silver MacBook out of the bottom drawer underneath the red "Classroom Rulers" sign. 

 Color several pictures depending on the complexity!  If you are doing easy pictures, do several...if you are doing one complex one you might get only one done and that is fine.
Here are some examples of difficult ones:

1. Choose a picture you would like to color. I would google coloring pages and then whatever you are interested in coloring. Example: "Infinity Wars Avengers coloring pages".  Some examples of others students have completed are above.

2. Convert the file to a PSD file using the directions below:

  • Drag the picture to your desktop.
  • Go to the website converter:  https://convertio.co/ 
  • Choose File-find your file on the screen that pops up (You may have to choose DESKTOP on the left in the menu)...Double click your file or choose Open
  • Change the drop down box that says SVG to PSD (it is under the image tab)
  • Click the red convert button
  • Click the DOWNLOAD button (if there was an error, you can try again or you may have to choose a different image).  
  • The file will download underneath, drag it to your desktop.
  • Double-click the image and it will open in PhotoShop.
2. If you have never been in PhotoShop before you will have to watch some YouTube tutorials to help you learn the basics!

  • Use the tools to color your picture. (Hint: The paint bucket will be your friend!)
  • Go to YouTube and find a helpful video!  
  • Be a problem solver.  This will come in handy in life ;).

Take a screenshot of your finished product and place in your Google folder.
