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.

Making an easy penguin

In a lesson, we got to choose to make anything. We had instructions on what we had to do. I chose to make a penguin and I thought it was really hard to make, but it turned out to be a lot of circles, ovals and three triangles. I had to use a lot of gradient to make the penguin look like it is 3D. After I made the penguin, I decided to make a sort of valentine heart. You can see above what my penguin looks like.

Making a Cartoon Head from Youtube

During a lesson we learned how to make an easy cartoon head. We also learned about a lot of different tools. For example, we used the bezier tool so that we can make freehand lines or shapes. We made the cartoon head's hair with the bezier tool. We then learned to use more nodes and gradients, so that we can change the cartoon head's hair however we want. We learned that we can intersect 2 different shapes from each other. That is what we used to make the hair for the cartoon head. After we made the cartoon head like in youtube, we got to make our own that is like the one from youtube, but make by our own imagination. Above is a cartoon king, which I made from my own imagination. Next to it on the left is the one that I made while using youtube as my instructions.

Learning about inkscape and making shapes.

When I learned about Inkscape, I learned about all the new tools, and how to make a basic shape, like a circle, star etc. Then we learned how to make a basic heart shape from a circle. We then learned how to make the heart look like it is 3D. We then learned how to make a bone from a triangle. We also tried to make a clover, and it didn't always end up as we wanted to make it look like. We were also challenged to make a heart out of a triangle, which is a whole different thing to do. Now these shapes seem so easy after we learned it, but we always find out new things to make the shapes look better. Above are some examples of the shapes that we made.
