Vector graphics are computer graphics images that are defined in terms of points … connected by lines and curves to form polygons and other shapes. (wikipedia)
Inkscape is free, professional quality, vector graphics software.
Note, for Inkscape v1.3x go to this project.
Computing is about so much more than just programming, and Inkscape is a great way to introduce students to vector graphics. Although those with an artistic flair will particularly love this series of lessons, they were extremely popular with ALL students.
The course is delivered in 6 x 60-minute lessons, using stimulating PowerPoint presentations with embedded videos, and includes worksheets to accompany the lesson, plus a Kahoot quiz.
This series looks at
- Digital Images and a first look at Inkscape
- Exploring Inkscape v0.91 features and the Node Editor
- Project one: Penguin, Pac-man baddie, Elephant, Turkey
- Free exploration, self assessment and Kahoot quiz
Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions, and a BIG BIG thanks for looking (as a full time practising teacher, I KNOW how time consuming this process can be).
ALL my postings are FULLY “classroom-tested” - before I publish, my lessons are tested by both myself and colleagues, rigorously evaluated and discussed, and continually updated to maximise their effectiveness. But there is always the possibility of error and room for improvement, so do please provide constructive feedback.

Some good ideas, however unfortunately the current version is way out of date - this resources was updated in February, so I am surprised. The version is now 1.3.2, looks VERY different.
Worth every penny. Saved loads of time planning and lovely instruction sheets. Just what I needed!
