                           Send Forwards: Moves the layer all the way to the front.

                           Duplicate: Makes a copy of the layer.

                           Delete: Removes the layer from your drawing.

                     ADDING LAYERS

                     In Sketchpad, each new item, such as clipart, shapes or text, is added as its own layer. This
                     makes moving, editing or deleting easy without affecting other parts of the artwork. Layers

                     are created automatically, so there is no need to add them manually.

                          Tick ( ) if you know this.

                          ▶   Layers are like clear, plastic sheets stacked one on top of the other in a drawing.

                          ▶   Layers can be dragged up or down to change their order.

                               CREATING A LANDSCAPE

                     To create a landscape, plan your idea and choose the right canvas size.

                     DESIGNING THE BACKGROUND

                     After choosing the canvas size, start with the background. It is the base of the scene and
                     goes behind everything, like the sky or ground.

                     There are several types of backgrounds you can create using the fill types:

                                                     Different Types of Backgrounds
