Canva Lessons 1-6 #4

 

Welcome back, everyone!

            Today in class, we learned how to use Canva. This lesson was beneficial since many students were not familiar with Canva and it helped them learn how to enhance their blogs, including myself. Canva is a website that lets people do graphic designs. In Canva lessons 1-6, I realized that I did not know about Canva at all! However, the first six lessons made me understand the basic ways to use Canva. 

        In lesson one, we had to insert a line on a page and then color it any color we liked. I went to Elements, clicked on shapes, and chose a line. I then proceeded to color it purple. 

        In lesson two, we had to insert a square, change the size of it, and then color it. I went to Elements, clicked on shapes, chose the square, made it bigger than what it originally was, and then colored it pink.

        In lesson three, we had to insert earth on a page and flip it horizontally. I went to graphics, searched Earth, added the graphic onto the page, and then flipped it.

        In the fourth lesson, we had to choose a photo of the sun and insert it. I went to the photos tab, searched for the sun, chose a pretty sunset, and then inserted it into the page.

        In the fifth lesson, we had to search for a video of the solar system and then trim it. I went to the videos tab, searched for a video of the solar system, inserted it, and then trimmed it.

        In the sixth lesson, we had to add a pictogram. This lesson in particular got me a bit confused. We had to insert a pictogram, change the icons to cars, and then fill the items to eight. After I got the pictogram of the cars, I inserted it into the page and changed the colors to light and dark purple. Yet, I could not figure out how to fill the items to eight from ten. That was until I learned I had to click on the cars, click on the icon where it says, "see all", and then scroll to find the "fill items". 

        These lessons were fairly easy. I understood the majority of the lesson, except for the sixth lesson. Besides the fact I struggled a little bit on the last lesson, I still managed to learn how to do it. Overall, this did help me learn the basics of Canva, and cannot wait to learn more.

That is all for today, see you in the next blog!
