Classroom in a Blog: Inkscape

This blog series will help introduce you to the open source vector base drawing program Inkscape. The title obviously is a spin-off from the well known series by Adobe Systems.

Note: This series is based on Inkscape version 0.46 and newer. Since Inkscape has not yet matured to version 1.0 we will focus only the features that are considered stable. My focus is to have lessons that can be used in the classroom without having to install extras and work around solutions or cause the program to crash.

Here is a rough table of contents for what this series will contain. I will come back and update this with links as I progress.

1. Quick Start
2. Creating and Editing Shapes
3. Selecting & Aligning
4. Transforming Objects
5. Drawing Tools
6. Color and Painting
7. Working with Type
8. Working with Layers
9. XML
10. Combining Inkscape with other Applications
11. SVG
