Creating Venn Diagrams using Google Drawings

 

Google Drawings provide a quick and easy way for students to create Venn Diagrams and other graphic organizers.  

Today, I'm going to share a tutorial on how to create a Venn Diagram.  Check back tomorrow to see how to add PNG images to a diagram.

 

 1.  Create a new Google Drawing in Google Drive.

 

2.  Control-Click or Right-Click the Drawing and select a background color.  I choose white so my shape colors would stay true.

 

3.  Add a circle shape.  Hold down the Shift key while drawing the circle to keep it proportionate. 

 

4.  Copy and paste the circle so you have two circles that are equal in size.

5.  If your circles are not lined up, you can use the Arrange Menu to Align and Center them on the page.  Make sure to hold down Shift and click both circles to select them.

 

6.  Select one of the circles and Click the Paint Bucket tool.  Select Custom.

 

7.  Move the circle to select a color and move the opacity slider to the middle.

 

8.  Repeat with the second circle.  I used pink and blue which created a lavender color in the middle.

You could also use yellow and blue or yellow and red.

 

9.  Finally, I used Word Art to add a title and labels for the diagram.  You could also use text boxes for this.

 

 

 

Make sure to check back tomorrow for the second part of this tutorial!
