Introduction to Inkscape

This week you need to turn in a paragraph written about the painting we'll be printing for the March 19th exhibition. You should aim for 10 sentences or so -- topics that you might like to consider are:
  • What are your thoughts about the content of your painting? Why did you make the image what it is?
  • Did you have any particular idea, meaning, or message you were trying to put into the image?
  • What was the process that you went through to make this piece?
  • What did you like or dislike about the process of making this? What was interesting to find out, or frustrating to do?
  • What do you think the audience should know or might be curious about?
  • Anything else you'd like to say.



  • When you get to this video, you can make your first assignment: a logo for a company. You can follow the tutorial exactly, or make your own company & logo.


  • For this assignment, make a sketch or a drawing on paper or in SAI, and then 'ink' the lines in Inkscape. 
    • It could be an older piece of work, if you like. 
    • You could even find an image that you like online, if you don't want to make your own drawing.
  • Go on to color it in and complete it, as is done in this tutorial.


  • Your third assignment is to follow this tutorial, which goes more in-depth into the functionality and speed of working in a vector program. Good luck! :D
