                      Identify the following components of the Sketchpad window and discuss their uses:

                      (a)                        (b)                       (c)                       (d)

                     As you already know, Sketchpad is a fun and easy-to-use online drawing tool where
                     you can bring your ideas to life. In your previous class, you learnt how to draw

                     shapes and add text. Now, let’s explore advanced tools like Layers, Clipart and
                     the Mirror Brush.

                     To open  Sketchpad,  simply  type  https://sketch.io/sketchpad-v5.1/ into  your  web

                     browser’s address bar and press the Enter key.

                            LAYERS

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

                     Each layer holds a different part of your artwork which help you keep your drawing
                     neat and organised.

                     UNDERSTANDING THE LAYERS PANEL

                             The  Layers Panel in  Sketchpad  helps

                             control artwork. Layers can be dragged
                     up or down to change their order, which sets their                 To select multiple layers at
                                                                                         once, press and hold the
                     position (z-position) in the scene.                                         Shift key.

                     Each layer will show two important icons:

                              Eyeball icon: This is used to show or hide a layer. It has two modes:

                           Visible Eyeball icon: It means the layer is shown in your artwork.

                            Crossed-out Eyeball  icon: The layer is hidden  but  still  exists  and  can be
                             shown again.

                               Hamburger icon: When this  icon  is clicked,  a context  menu opens.  The
                         options available in the context menu are as follows:

                           Send to Back: Moves the layer behind others.

                           Send to Front: Moves the layer slightly in front of another.

                                                                                          Sketchpad Advanced Art Skills  33
