Any ICT teachers around? Need help with MS Paint

[lirael]

I'm doing my medium term ICT planning for next half term and am stuck. What I want to do is import an outline of a Picasso painting and get the students to outline it in black using the line tool, then fill in the outlined shapes using flood fill. Is this possible? I've found a couple of potential templates and have imported them into Paint - the outlining works fine, but when I try to use flood fill, it only fills part of some shapes and others not at all. Any ideas?

That's because although it looks like one colour it is actually several colours.

You might have to spend a week filling all the bits with white and then giving it to students to fill in without the lining stage.

I did something very similar recently. We used celebrity profiles in a 'pop art' style during some work we were covering on Andy Warhol for KS1.To be honest, it took me ages and I couldn't get it to work at school. It was black and white and I couldn't make the fill tool colour, no matter what I tried! In the end, I saved it as a gif file, opened it in Flying Colours and filled it like that. The outline colour could be changed too. The results were actually really impressive!
