Assignment:

Watch the tutorial video links provided above. Follow the directions to learn more about how you can recolor vector shapes using Live Paint.

• After you have watched the tutorials, go to the second artboard in your Color Week 1 document.
• Using the Shape tool, draw five filled shapes that overlap each other.
• Next, follow the steps in the tutorial to activate Live Paint, and use Live Paint to color in the shapes you have drawn.
• Use the Live Paint Select tool (or the tool shortcuts demonstrated in the video) to recolor the strokes (lines).
• DO NOT use the Paint Brush, the Blob Brush or any other drawing tool to color in the shapes. Use Live Paint only.
• When all five shapes are successfully colored in and the strokes are recolored, save your document. We will continue to work with this document tomorrow.
