Workshop Outline
1. Creating your own graphics
2. Tracing images
3. Manipulating images
4. Using animations
Symmetry
• Try drawing a square below
• Now try while holding the Shift key
1 – Creating your own Graphics
Positioning and alignment
• Try putting the tip of the triangle at the tip of the finger
• Now try while holding the alt key
1 – Creating your own Graphics
Keeping Proportions
• Try stretching the triangle to fit into the box
• Now try while holding the Shift key
1 – Creating your own Graphics
Keeping Proportions(this time try holding shift and control at the same time)
• Select all six shapes below and enlarge
• Now try grouping the objects together first
1 – Creating your own Graphics
Editing Grouped Objects• Make the pentagon red and each of the
surrounding circles different colours• Then bring the pentagon to the front
1 – Creating your own Graphics
Making a Graphic
• Let’s make an ATP molecule• Trace the ATP using shapes
When finished:• Add lines as needed
between shapes• hold control then click
on each of your shapes and lines
• Group the shapes into one object
• Delete the original image

Try again
2 – Tracing Images
Tracing• Used the curved line tool to trace the car• Hold control to draw a straight line• Double click to finish the shape• Right click and select “edit points” to make adjustments• Group all your shapes to make it a graphic

Finding the Right Image
• It is usually best to search for high resolution images using the google search tools
3 – Manipulating Images
Manipulating images• Make your fish work on black by using the
“remove background” tool
3 – Manipulating Images
Manipulating Images• Make it work on a fun background
using the “set transparent colour” tool
• Now make it whatever colour you want!

Animations
• USE CUSTOM ANIMATIONS• Always display the animation pane
• Make the image above “Fly In” from the left
• Test the animation by pressing play4 – Using Animations
Object slide
• I like to keep a slide of the objects I created that will be used throughout the PowerPoint
• Use control + m to create a new slide• Copy and paste your ATP, car, Bunsen
burner, fish in blub and flammable sign into this slide.
• I have already done this for you using my images. Feel free to do it with yours
4 – Using Animations
Let’s Animate
• Make this image follow the dotted line
4 – Using Animations
Appear / Disappear
• Crop the flammable sign to just a flame
• Make Bunsen burner light causing the car to turn into a fish-bulb
