 Introductory Message

For the Facilitator:

Welcome to the Computer Science STE 8 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on
Drawing with Artistic Media Tools.
This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators from public
institutions to assist you, the teacher or facilitator, in helping the learners meet the standards
set by the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming their personal, social, and economic constraints
in schooling.
This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent learning
activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help learners acquire the
needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration their needs and circumstances.
In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.
You also need to keep track of the learners’ progress while allowing them to manage their own
learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist the learners as they do the
tasks included in the module.

For the Learner:

Welcome to the Computer Science STE 8 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on Drawing

Drawing with Artistic Media Tools

What is It
One of the main features of CorelDraw is to edit objects or pictures. Aside from
being creative of one’s mind, it is best achieve through the use of the editing tools of
the program. With CorelDraw, Artistic Media Tool is designed to help editing more
easier and more creative.
Artistic Media Tool is a result of CorelDraw powerline features which is now called
“Preset”. It can actually quickly change the tools of a simple object, text or lines into a
state of the art graphics. Using the artistic media tool, you can draw lines of varying
thickness and shapes, paint with sprayer or brush, draw different calligraphic lines.

Artistic Media Tool is located

at the toolbox area.

Figure 1. Shows where you can

find the artistic media tool.

5
 There are five drawing modes:
1. Preset
2. Brush
3. Sprayer
4. Calligraphic
5. Pressure

You can use the Artistic Media Tool in two ways:

- Drag along the path you want, as with a pencil on paper or freehand.
- Select an existing object like line or circle - apply one of the artistic media
tool strokes to it.

Five Different Drawing Modes

When you select artistic media tool, five drawing modes will
appear on the property bar. It displays the categories or options
you can select for the type of mode you can use. These options will
give you more editing choices to make your creations more fantastic.

1. Preset Mode - lets you draw

preset vector shapes
and curves..

Figure 2. The preset mode on property

bar.

Preset mode allows you to

create lines, curves or strokes with
various thicknesses. You can change
the thickness of the lines using the
options given on the property bar.

5. Pressure Mode - the effect of
drawing with a pressure
sensitive pen.

Figure 14. Pressure mode on property bar.

Pressure mode allows

you to create a design using a
freehand and with a sensitive
pen. The design of your
drawing will depend on your
on creation. But you can also
edit the width of the lines if you
want.

Figure 15. Sample design made in pressure mode.

To draw a pressure-sensitive line:
