2. Lesson Objectives
To utilise shape tools to trace around a cartoon image
All students will create a level appropriate image
Most students will be able to explain how they have met their target level
Some students will be able to justify how they have exceeded their target level

3. The Task
Your assessment is to trace around a cartoon image in order to replicate it as precisely as possible.
This task is designed to test your use of the pen tool and creating shapes.

Shapes
Can alter the inside/outside colour and line thickness of a shape
Can use the Eye Dropper Tool to select colours
Can draw shapes which have various different number of sides
Have used layers in creating my cartoon.
Can create effective original shapes using the pen tool
Can create a compound shape using the shape builder tool
Can create an effective compound shape using the path finder tool
Can use the white arrow to alter shapes including turning corners into curves
Can add and remove points of a shape using the Pen tool

4. Which one will you choose?
Do not choose a cartoon based on your own preference - choose one which is best suited to your level of skill!
Grade TS2-TS4
One colour
One simple shape
Grade 1-3
Simple shapes.
No overlapping shapes
Grade 5-6
Complex shapes
Overlapping shapes

5. In order to achieve a level you need to demonstrate that you can do that skill independently and effectively
For example;
Level 5 - Can create original shapes using the pen tool
Level 6 - Can create a compound shape using the shape builder tool
This shows the use of the pen tool to create an original shape however it has not been done effectively nor does it demonstrate precise skill.
This would not achieve a level 5
This shows the use of a compound shape however it is not accurate and does not show good attention to detail therefore the student has not met the criteria.
This would not achieve a level 6
