When you close the program the file is gone. Every file that you save must have a DIFFERENT NAME. If you use the same name, it will erase your first picture and replace it with the one you just saved. You must save your work in your OWN FOLDER. This will make it easy for you to find the file when you want to reopen it. Save OFTEN. While you are making your picture, you can click the Save button over and over again. This will stop you from losing your work if the computer breaks. You only need to name the file ONE TIME. Once you click Save and give the file a name you do not need to do that step again. Instead, each time you click Save the latest changes are updated to the file. Give your file a NAME that makes sense. If you name the file art, when you go to reopen the file, you will remember the file. If you name the file sgdrft, you will have no clue what the picture is about. Questions about Saving your Work 1. Where do you save your work? 2. Why is it a good idea to save your work? 3. You just made a picture of your favorite animal.
