/** Ninjas use their knowledge of GDP objects to create their own static scene. * application of opacity, scale, rotation, size NOTE: This activity is generally skipped because they 02-03 Under the Stars has them doing the same thing in addition to adding some code to make it more interesting Sensei Notes * The goal of this activity and the other activities in section 1 is to continue to develop familiarity with the GDP before Ninjas start coding. * Provide the Ninja with paper and drawing utensils, ideally colored pencils. * If the Ninja is having a difficult time deciding what to draw, ask them about some of their favorite movies, shows, or games. * If a Ninja wants to jump right into the GDP, make sure that they take the time to plan out what they aregoing to create. Stress that it is okay to change their ideas in the GDP later. * There is no coding in this activity. * The Ninja should be able to navigate the GDP and add new objects. * The Ninja should be able to change the properties of objects. Solution Steps 1 Provide the Ninja with paper and drawing utensils. 2 Explain that the GDP only knows a few basic shapes but that they can create complex objects out of many simple shapes. 3 Help the Ninjas navigate to the correct scene. Make sure they know where to do and can do it without assistance. 4 Review the Ninja's sketch and ask how they are going to begin to recreate it in the GDP. 5 Review the Ninja's final scene to see if they demonstrated mastery of adding and modifying GDP shapes. Sensei Stops 5 Tell a Sensei about your digital painting. What is it? Why did you make it? Was it easy or hard to turn a real drawing into o digital piece of art? The goal of this activity was to let the Ninja be creative while also increasing their proficiency navigating the GDP. This is also a good time to make personal connections with your Ninja. Listen to their answers and ask follow-up questions. Ask if there is a story behind their scene. Do they like art or programming more? Do you have a relatable story or experience to share with the Ninja? */
