ADDING LAYERS

                  When drawing a landscape in Sketchpad, you can use layers to add details and keep your

                  artwork organised. Each layer is like a separate sheet of paper, so you can draw on one
                  layer without affecting the others. In the layer’s panel, you'll see eye icons next to each
                  layer:

                     Visible eye icon: The layer is visible in your drawing.
                     Crossed-out eye icon: The layer is hidden, but still there. For example, if you're working
                    on the sky, you can hide the trees layer to focus on the sky.

                  Next to each layer, there’s three vertical dots. These three vertical dots also known as
                  hamburger icon. These dots give you options for each layer:

                     Send to Back: Moves the layer behind others (e.g., making the sky behind a house).
                     Send to Front: Moves the layer slightly in front of another.
                      Send Backwards: Moves the layer all the way to the back (e.g., putting a tree in the

                    backside of a house).
                     Send Forwards: Moves the layer all the way to the front (e.g., putting a tree in front of a
                    house).

                     Duplicate: Makes a copy of the layer (e.g., adding a second tree).
                     Delete: Removes the layer.



                            DESIGNING LANDSCAPES ELEMENTS


                  Now that  you  have your background  set,  let’s  add  some  important  elements  like  the
                  ground, sun, and trees to your landscape. By adding these elements, you can make our
                  landscape beautiful. You can add elements to your landscape using two methods i.e.,
                  using shapes and using clipart.


                  USING SHAPES

                  You  can use different shapes  to  add
                  details to your landscape. For example,
                  you can use a rectangle for the ground,

                  a triangle for the mountains, and a circle
                  for the sun and more. To draw ground,
                  follow the given steps:

                  Step  1  Click on the Star tool.

                  Step  2   Click on the Choose Shape down
                           arrow. A sub-menu will appear.
