  3. History of MS Paint MS Paint was created entirely by Bill Gates when he was only 11 years old. Bill was assigned a class project from his teacher which involved painting a picture. Having been recently unemployed, Bill's parents were unable to afford the costly paints required for the project. Bill saved up his allowance and bought an IBM PS2 computer from a garage sale and wrote the very first version of MS Paint for Windows 3.11 The first version was actually called Mrs Paint, named after the art teacher who assigned the project. He shortened it to MS Paint when she got a divorce.

  4. Basic MS Paint Tools Pencil Tool – Used to draw one pixel at a time. Simulates a #2 pencil (which most of you should be familiar with as artists.) Paint Brush – Used to fill in multiple pixels at a time. Different patterns can be chosen. This tool must become your best friend.

  5. More Basic MS Paint Tools Eraser – Erases part of the picture, usually due to a mistake. Remember, a good artist never makes a mistake, so you probably won't need this very much. Fill Bucket – This tool fills in an open space with paint. Don't be afraid to use this tool a lot, the computer's paint supply never runs out on modern computers!

  6. Advanced MS Paint Tools Line Tool – This tool allows the artist to create a straight line from one point to another. Squiggly Line Tool – This makes a line just like the Line Tool only more squiggly. Circle – Creates several pixels, all equidistant from one central point. Also used for ovals. Hint: heads are made out of these shapes! Square – Creates a square and/or rectangle. Which one is up to you.

  7. Additional MS Paint Features MS Paint gives you the power to save and load pictures from before. You may 'print' your painting out on a sheet of paper so that it looks exactly like any other painting. Color mode supported. The window can be minimized so that you may do other tasks with your computer while working on a piece of artwork.

  8. MS Paint Conclusion MS Paint is a powerful tool that is a widely used and respectable tool in the business world. A person who knows the ins and outs of MS Paint has a better chance at getting a job or internship than a peer who does not have this kind of training. Your artistic expressions may flow freely into the digital world. Kyle is a nerd.
