Selection in Paint
Goals
At the end of this lesson plan, students should be able to -
 Identify selection icon.
 Select the object by rectangular selection and free form selection.
 Understand the importance of selection.

Lesson Development with Activity


To perform any operation (such as rotate, cut, copy, etc.) on any part of the picture or the
whole picture, you operate on that part with the use of selection tool.

For example – To create 6 of diamonds, 6 diamonds are required in same size, shape and
color. To do so, make one and copy it 5 times. But to tell computer the part which we want to
create a copy of, we use selection tool. We select the diamond, copy and paste it two times to
create a column of three diamonds. Once again, we want to copy a column to make card fast,
we select it and copy-paste it.

There are two types of selection in Paint –

1. Rectangular selection : select by drawing rectangle on the canvas.


2. Free- form selection : select by drawing any shape on the canvas

When a selection is active it will be surrounded by a dashed moving outline to indicate the
area (known as the "dancing ants"). If one of the selection tools is active, a blue highlight will
also be applied to the selected area to aid identification.

Once a selection has been created, editing operations are confined to the active selection.

Similar to Copy and Paste, Cut is also used to create duplicate object. But in case of cut-paste,
object is removed from its original position while in copy-paste, object remains at its original
position.

Demonstrate the difference between both with the following example –

Revise students how copy and paste is performed by object 1. Then show them how to use cut
and paste command. Lay emphasis on the selection part as students sometimes try to cut and
copy without selection. Then, let them analyze the difference between cut and copy.
