Blended Giraffe

I had to practice using different line and blending techniques to create a realistic looking giraffe. I found it easy to follow the teachers instructions to create the giraffe shape. It was difficult to keep all the parts in perspective. Next time I will try harder to use blending to show dark and light.

The Daintree Forest

We were learning to identify what the author wanted me to feel,think or see.

We did this to convince people stop cutting trees in the Daintree to build more hotels because they already have one hotel. 

It was easy to do the Daintree forest information because we could easily find the information on the internet to help support our ideas.

It was hard to do the rainbow coloured background because we were not able to find it easily and you won't be able to get the idea on the internet.

Next time we will include more about what you can do to help.
