Assignment Week 7-Pen/LiveTrace/LivePaint

Part 1: Experiment w/the pen tool. I traced the grasshopper and filled w/a color & transparency so you could see the tracing.
Part 2: Using Live Trace. With a photo of a rudebeckia, I used the paint bucket and eye dropper tool to work with the colors of the flowers petals. I used the direct select to transform the petals by putting in spikes at the tips. I also used the delete anchor point tool along with the convert anchor point tool. I warped the inside of the flower with, Make with warp and then decided to delete the inside entirely. I changed the background using a garphic style and a gradient.
Part 3: Using Live Paint. I again used the photo of the grasshopper.
