How to Create a Random Drawing Picker Wheel

In this article, we will guide you through the process of creating your own random drawing picker wheel online. This activity is a fun way to engage with your creativity and challenge yourself to come up with unique combinations of elements for your drawings.

Step 1: Accessing Canvas and Announcements

To start, go to Canvas and navigate to the announcements section. Look for the random drawing picker announcement and click on it to open a new tab.

Step 2: Selecting a Random Picker

Once the random drawing picker is open in a new tab, click on the "New" button to create a new picker. You can ignore the other tab and close it since it was only used to reach the website that generates the random pickers.

Step 3: Editing and Saving the Names

In this step, you will customize the names on the picker wheel. The first wheel you will create is for objects or things. Begin by entering a list of objects that you want to include. For example, you can type in "pizza, apples, paintbrush, toothbrush, bicycle, pop-can, masking tape, markers, lipstick, car, motorcycle." Once you have entered at least 10 objects, click "Save this list" and provide a password. Use the same password you use for your school Gmail or Canvas account.

Step 4: Creating Different Picker Wheels

You will create four different picker wheels in total. The second wheel is for a person or people. It could be a specific person like Kevin Durant or a generic occupation like garbage man or art teacher. The third wheel is for an action, determining what the person will be doing. Lastly, the fourth wheel is for the location where the action will take place.

Step 5: Saving the Picker Wheels

Make sure each of your picker wheels has at least 10 objects or names. Save each list and remember the password you used for all of them. Once saved, you will have a unique address for each wheel. Highlight and copy each address for later use.

Step 6: Creating a Google Doc

Open a new tab and access your Google Drive. Create a new Google Doc, and in the title, include the word "art." This will help you easily find the document later.

Step 7: Pasting the Wheel on the Google Doc

Paste the copied address of the first wheel on the Google Doc. It may paste with a different background color, but that's not an issue. Repeat this process for the other three wheels.

Step 8: Renaming and Saving the Google Doc

Rename the Google Doc to specify that it is your "random pick drawing Pickers" document. Save the Google Doc in your Drive.

In conclusion, by following these steps, you can create your own random drawing picker wheels to generate unique combinations and inspire your artwork. It's a fun way to challenge your creativity and try new concepts. Enjoy the process and have fun with your drawings!
