Chapter Four Transforming and Distorting Objects

Pen Practice - in order to make sure you are well practiced with the pen tool, I have designed an activity to ensure pen tool practice. You will create several illustrations using objects as trace elements.

You assignment is to recreate the object as closely as possible - not just the outer border - recreate the object ! To see how you are doing, you can hide the layer with the object on it by turning off the eye icon in the layers palette.

Pen Practice Files - These are Illustrator Files - so right click or Control Click to save them to your Hard Drive or USB drive

• Nuts - Please include the text in this design
• Ball and Mirror

Here is a Zip File with all the lab Files

Please save each of these illustrations as their own file. Save the files for future use. You will submit the files to the GCC Elearning Web Site at http://elearning.gccnj.edu.
