Students expand their knowledge of Google Slides, file types, and file management to create imagery including avatars of themselves. They also explored hex code to color their skin tones and hair. Below are some examples of their work, or as I like to call them digiforms.
To get started with our Google Slides getting to know you activity they first learned about the polyline and the curve tool. Later they explored features found under Arrange on the menu bar to help organize and maneuver the objects in their file.
While exploring these tools and adding the use of the grouping tool they created either a snowflake or a flower. The spent most of their time building a snowflake point or a flower petal, adding details then grouping these parts together. Next they duplicated these parts and used the rotation tool to build a symmetric creation.
After working with these tools they were tasked with working independently to build an avatar of themselves using hex codes to match their skin tones. We had an opportunity to discuss file management and naming conventions as they downloaded these files with transparent backgrounds as png files. They are a talented bunch and you’re gonna be amazed by some of the beautiful creations they’ve made. Here are the png files from grade seven. Our seventh graders will use their creations as Sprites in Scratch projects.
