Week One
Wednesday - Lesson 01
CorelDraw is different from other image editing applications in that it is
vector-based. Many other image editing applications will force you to work
with graphics in a bitmap format. Do you know the difference between bitmap
and vector images? Before you open CorelDraw, this lesson will describe the
differences, explain the pros and cons, and then show you some examples of
each format. Afterward, you'll tour CorelDraw to see how some of the menus
and tools are arranged. Then students will jump right into it and draw some
shapes with the Smart Drawing tool. You'll also learn how to use the Zoom
tool, the Hand tool, and the Pick tool.
Friday - Lesson 02
This lesson is all about the meat and potatoes of CorelDraw: the shape-
creation tools. This lesson will start with the basics—using the Ellipse tool
and the Rectangle tool to draw circles, squares, and rectangles. Then you'll
practice using the Polygon tool, the Spiral tool, the Star tool, and the Perfect
Shape tool to draw more intricate shapes. Afterward, you'll form your shapes
into images using the weld function. Finally, you’ll get a chance to practice
adding colors to your newly created designs.
Week Two
Wednesday - Lesson 03
This lesson is going to dig a little deeper into CorelDraw drawing tools as you
learn how to create lines. You'll start with the Freehand tool, which simulates
drawing with a pen or pencil on a piece of paper, but with an automated twist
that makes it much easier to use. Then this lesson will explore the Outline
tools. Outlines are the lines that form and surround shapes and objects, and
you'll use the Outline tools to format, shape, and color those same lines.
Afterward, the lesson will move on to curves and you'll learn how to use the
Three-Point Curve tool and the Bézier tool to draw both simple and complex
curves. Finally, you'll learn about the Artistic Media tool, which enables you to
apply effects, styles, and objects to ordinary lines.
Friday - Lesson 04
This lesson will take a break from drawing tools and instead concentrate on
layers. Layers are invisible planes that contain information about each object.
You'll use them to organize, edit, and manage your drawings. Just as shapes
are the building blocks of a drawing, layers are the frames that support those
building blocks. The lesson will begin by layering one of your drawings from a
previous lesson followed by learning how to layer as you create a new design.
Week Three
Wednesday - Lesson 05-
Did you also know that CorelDraw supplies you with a complete desktop
publisher? In this lesson, you'll create a two-page newsletter using this
feature. As you assemble your newsletter, you'll also learn how to set up a
drawing page with the Page tab, apply and use guidelines, input and import
text with the Text tool, and import objects into designs.
Friday - Lesson 06
The discussion on text will continue in this lesson, but this time it will
concentrate on artistic text. You'll learn how to shape, form, and adjust artistic
text to follow the path of an object or line. Afterward, you'll fill objects with
color transitions, patterns, textures, and elaborate designs using CorelDraw
fill tools. Then you'll apply what you've learned to create an original logo.
Week Four
Wednesday - Lesson 07
In this lesson, you'll explore one of the favorite CorelDraw subjects—applying
special effects to designs. First, you'll learn how to cast shadows on objects
using the Interactive Drop Shadow tool. This is an excellent effect to use when
you want to add a little realism to your objects. Then you’ll learn how to create
see-through objects using the Interactive Transparency. You'll also practice
transforming ordinary 2-D shapes into 3-D objects using the Extrusion tool.
Friday - Lesson 08
You'll get a chance to put all your CorelDraw skills to work in this lesson
because this lesson will pull together as many different elements from what
you've been learning into an apple design. This will give you more insight into
how CorelDraw tools interact and show you some practical applications for
these same tools. You'll also learn about shaping tools, including the Knife
tool, the Eraser tool, the Smudge Brush, and the Roughen Brush. You'll
mostly use these tools to shape, modify, adjust, and enhance objects after
you’ve drawn them.
Week Five
Wednesday - Lesson 09
In lesson 9 the exploration of special effects will continue, beginning with
Power Clips. You'll use the Power Clip effect to place one object inside of
another. This is a great way to incorporate bitmaps or photographs into your
designs. Then students will take some ordinary shapes and completely
transform them into amazing objects using the Interactive Distortion tool.
Finally, you'll draw some balloons as you learn how to use the Eyedropper
and Paint bucket tools, which allow you to copy the properties from one
particular object into a completely different object.
Friday - Lesson 10
Once again, this lesson will concentrate on desktop publishing as you create
custom-designed envelopes, business cards, and address labels while
learning to use the Page Size window. Then you'll learn how to create a CD
cover using a CorelDraw template. Not only will you learn how to choose from
the huge selection of templates, you'll also create your own business
stationary template to accompany the envelope, business card, and address
labels you just designed. Then to top it all off, you'll design an original
birthday card using the Page Layout window.
Week Six
Wednesday - Lesson 11
This lesson is all about photographs. You'll start by bringing some life into a
dull-looking photo using the Crop tool and the Image Adjustment Lab. Then
you'll learn how to change ordinary photos into stunning works of art by
applying spectacular effects with artistic strokes, abstract patterns, and 3-D
effects. You'll also learn how to convert photographs into sleek designs using
PowerT
Friday - Lesson 12

In the final lesson, you'll design a series of presentations using drawings

you've created throughout this class, and then you'll learn how to export them
into different formats. This will enable you to post them on the Internet, insert
them into documents and presentations, or email them to a friend in an easy-
to-open format. This lesson will start by going over the Export window, which
converts CorelDraw designs into various formats, and in turn allows you to
view and update these same designs using all types of software. Then it will
focus on specific formats, including Portable Network Graphics (PNG) and
Portable Document Format (PDF). Finally, this lesson will conclude the class
by creating an original Web page!
