Bear family goes on a picnic

When I learned how to make a landscape for the animals, I thought that the animals looked a lot better and more at home. I added a few of my own things like the pond, the ants with the ant hill, the grass tufts and the reeds, also the little dropplets fallinf onto baby bear. We had to think of a place where our animals would look best in. I thought that the bear family would look good going onto a picnic, but I forgot to put in the food. I think that I made the picture a bit to small, because the picture is really small. I was starting to trace a turtle, but was unable to finish it.

Monkey

When we got to make animals, we learned how to so different kinds of path operations. For example like on the monkey above, we learned how to make the mouth without the bezier tool. We also learned how to make the eyes by using union. Union makes two shapes "melt together". We also learned how to cut away peices like on the nose. For cutting away the peices we used two circles to cut away the peices from the bigger circle, the nose. We have learned a lot, but its worth it, because the animals or other things look a lot bettter.

In a lesson we were allowed to choose an animal that we were allowed to make. We had to learn new obeject operations. For example, we learned how to make the stripes on the tiger. I also learned, that if you union something, then you have a shape that is made of two shapes but looks like one. We learned lots of other things to use for individual animals.

Valentine Card

After we had finished the first activity, we were allowed to do another activity on inkscape. I decided to make the valentine heart, because I wanted to have something challenging and interesting to work on. I wasn't able to finish the activity, but I still learned how to make a circle out of a triangle, for the card. I used a lot of gradient and I had to make a lot of hearts, so that the card wouldn't look so empty. There were vines on the example, but I wasn't able to get to that. I would have liked to learn how to make those vines, because they made the card look a lot more interesting. Above you can see how far I got in making the valentine card.
