Drawings

Become an AI Artist

To become an Artificial Intelligence Artist, you will use Google's AutoDraw to create 3 drawings. Then you will take a screenshot of the AutoDraw program with one of your drawings and use Google Drawings to annotate it to explain the menu features and functionality of AutoDraw. Finally, you'll play Quick Draw! and contribute to Google's AI machine learning program. 

Create a blog post for Google Drawings. Label each section (AutoDraw, Drawings and Quick, Draw!) appropriately and complete the following:

AutoDraw (www.autodraw.com)

1. Create (at least) 3 drawings using the AutoDraw tool. Your 3 drawings should be related and create a larger scene. 
2. Change the outline and fill color of your images to make them the appropriate colors. 
3. Use the text tool to label your drawing (you can label the entire scene or each of the drawings). 
4. Resize and arrange your drawings to your preference.
5. Change the size of the canvas so that you don't have much white space around your drawing.
6. Add the .png file to your Google Drawings blog post.
7. In your post, describe what AutoDraw is and what it does.
8. Reflect on how and for what purposes you would be able to use AutoDraw.

Google Drawings (drawings.google.com)

1. Take a screenshot of your AutoDraw drawing window (you can also download your drawing, but we want the menu tools so in this case, you do want a screenshot of the entire window). 
2. Copy and paste or insert it into a new Google drawing. 
3. Use the Shapes tool to label and explain what each of the tools on the left menu do. 
4. Download your drawing as a .jpeg file.
5. Add the .jpeg file to your Google Drawings blog post.
6. In your post, describe what Google Drawings is and what it does.
7. Reflect on how and for what purposes you would be able to use Google Drawings.
8. Compare Google Drawings to other drawing apps that you have used (Microsoft Paint, Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop, GIMP, etc.). What does Drawings do well? What do other programs do better?

Quick, Draw! (quickdraw.withgoogle.com)

1. Play Quick, Draw! and take a screenshot of your end results (after 6 drawings it will saw "Well Drawn" and show you your 6 drawings and if it could guess them or not). 
2. Add the screenshot to your Google Drawings blog post.
3. Describe what Quick, Draw is and what you thought about your experience playing this game.

Then comment below with the link to your blog post AND tell us what you drew in Autodraw.
