Paint your name:

• Set your canvas size to 800 pixels wide by 300 pixels high. (File/Properties)
• Design your name using different features in the program. Don't be afraid to try different things. Remember that if you make a mistake, use the Edit, then undo button. This will allow you to erase the last function you performed.
• To enter your name, click on the button that displays the letter A.
• Click and drag to create your text box on the canvas. A text dialog box will open. Type your first name.
• Set the font style to either stencil, impact, extra bold, or any style that reflects a wide and full appearance which will allow you more room to paint. Use the zoom key to make intricate details. Make sure all openings are closed or your color will bleed onto your canvas.
• Set the font size to 72 or larger.
• Create a different pattern for each letter (do not just do a one color fill).
• An example of this activity is shown below.
