Description

For this #QuickLesson we’re going to create a gorgeous piece of Dot Art based on any theme you fancy, by using some clever tips and techniques in Keynote on your iPad. We’ll make some individual dot shapes to fill our background, then arrange and even animate them to make them really pop off the page. Then we’ll have a look at creating some foreground elements to complete your artwork. Finally we’ll export it as a movie that you can share anywhere.
