Learning...to draw with Paint

Alexa and Karissa watch Julia draw with Adobe Illustrator and wanted to draw their own pictures on the computer.  I introduced them to Illustrator and realized how clueless I am about it. Then I remembered that "less is more" sometimes.

Good ol' Paint would do the trick.  The younger girls can draw and get familiar with the basic concepts of drawing programs.  They are using the mouse, zooming in and out, grabbing the different drawing tools and changing colors.  Of course, they wanted to figure it out themselves. I love that I only have to send them in the right direction and they will learn on their own. That is at the foundation of our home learning.  Mike & I provide the tools for learning and guide the process, but God works in each of the girls to reveal what they need to know.

Here is Alexa's creation - the Heart Family. It will be fun to look back at it someday when she is designing more complex things.
