Developing images using repeating patterns
Unit 4B
ABOUT THE UNIT In this unit pupils learn to develop visual ideas and to realise these ideas using ICT. Pupils will need to use a computer graphics package to explore and experiment with ideas and will amend and modify their work to meet specific outcomes. They also learn to save their work as they go along. Pupils learn to use ICT tools appropriately and will select areas of an image to cut, copy and change. They learn to export their work to other packag es and import images from sources such as clip art, scanner or digital camera. Pupils will apply what they have learnt in this unit when using ICT to produce pictures, plans and maps in art, design and technology, and geography. WHERE THE UNIT FITS IN
