Computing: Vector drawing

Year 5 have started to create vector drawings. They have learnt how to use different drawing tools to help them create images. We now recognise that images in vector drawings are created using shapes and lines, and each individual element in the drawing is called an object. We have learnt to layer  objects and begin grouping and duplicating them to support the creation of more complex pieces of work. Here are some samples of our learning.
