This is part of a series of videos created to accompany a Jr High or High computer class, but really they are great for anyone who wants to learn the basics of Adobe Illustrator. The videos teach basics of how to use the tools in Adobe illustrator. The videos are designed for a novice illustrator user, but they may help a self taught illustrator user use the tools more efficiently. This simple video instructions are designed to aid in Project based learning (PBL). After students learn the tool basics they are given a creative project that incorporates the tools in the videos. Some videos build upon previous videos or reference a file--but they should be clear enough without seeing the referenced video or having the file.
