Bouncing ball surprise!

     
This is my ball surprise animation. We made a ball bounce to a side of the screen and had a little surprise at the end. Many people decided to make the ball explode, disappear, or bounce offscreen, but i decided to make a dog take the ball. This animation was like the previous ball bouncing animation, but with the ball bouncing sideways. I added more frames and understood squish and stretch. I didn't add shine to the ball because my time was limited and i was more focused on the dog.

What I learned was how to make the ball animation run more smoothly and what it is like to add more frames to an animation. I also learned why time is important when animating and why you always want to fix mistakes before it gets worse and ruins your project. This almost happened to me but I was able to save everything before it was deleted.

 Next time I will add shine for sure, make sure color is correct before I export the project, and make the dog animation run more smoothly. When I was animating, the color was darker so I thought the dogs nose, eyes, and paws were black. When I exported the product and the brightness turned up, it was actually dark green and i wasn't able to go back in and change it.  I will have make sure that doesn't happen in the future.

Ten Words

In Ecomm, we made our first mini animation. In this animation, we had to use 10 words we thought best described ourselves. We used Photoshop to animate these words and make them move onto the screen. The 10 words used are Adventurer, Artistic, Brave, Creative, Daring, Funny, Happy, Kind, Outgoing, and Strong. Each of these words I chose to use for a reason. 

I used adventurer because I like to explore and discover. Traveling to unknown places is lots of fun for me. 

I chose artistic because I love art. Drawing is my favorite thing to do, but I can't color or paint things. 

I chose brave because in most situations I am not afraid to step down from danger to protect others or do what is right. 

Creative kind of goes with artistic when it comes to drawing because I draw whatever I imagine. I also think of cool ways to design things even if I am not drawing.
I am daring because I love to take risks.
I am outgoing because I work hard no matter what and will pick myself up if I fall.
I am kind to everyone no matter who they are .
I am funny and love to make others laugh and have a good time.
I am strong both physically and mentally in lots of situations.
And just like strong, I am always happy in most situations and like to keep a smile on my face.

Chalk Activity

Hello Ravens and Non-Ravens! I hope you enjoy the blog!
On August 23rd, we did a fun activity with a team we were assigned with. First, we met in the Raven's nest to design something that represents us. We got choices of things we can draw on the paper. All of these items represented different things.


Each group had at least 4 people in it. I am in the second group. Everyone was trying to decide what items to choose. I didn't even know someone was taking pictures.


Everyone finally decided what to draw. I was the artist because nobody really wanted to draw. You can see me drawing in this picture, but it wouldn't help if I just said I was the girl in the middle wearing a blue shirt since there are two other girls wearing blue shirts too. I am the girl on the left of the girl with the blue bow in her hair.

I decided to draw a Dragon and some music notes. One girl in our group wanted to draw a pencil, another girl in our group wanted to draw an elephant, and the boy in our group wanted to draw a cube with music notes in it. Then I drew a raven in the middle because it was something that represented all of us. The outside was an intersection sign to show that we are going places.

Day two was a lot more fun. We finally got to draw on the ground with chalk!It was so much fun!
In this picture, I am trying to draw my dragon. It was going well since everyone was getting along. Another thing that was cool is that everyone drew this time. Some of them didn't think their artwork was god, but I liked it.

It took a while, but everyone got done with their drawings. We decided to write our names next to our creations. After that, we walked around to see what everyone else did. Many other groups did really well. I was able to take pictures and find new ways on how to draw animals and objects since I really like drawing.


This group did a really good job. The animals were cool and had life and personality in them. It took me a while to find out what the squirrel was holding, until someone told me it was holding an Xbox controller. This makes me happy because I like to play video games too, and with all the nature in the drawing, I really didn't expect an Xbox controller to be in it. I don't now why, but I still look at this picture and smile.

This one was cool too. The girl who drew the lion has to show me how to do that. I may be good at drawing, but when it comes to color, I couldn't do it to save my life. The Phoenix and bird at the top was really cool too. I'm glad there are so many artists in my hour!

This picture I have to warn you before looking at. There are too many dank memes. If you are not dank enough, you will fall victim to these memes.

I am still proud of my group. Even though we were strangers to each other, we were able to cooperate and work together. I am not in the same class with these people, but I hope that we will be able to see each other again.

Thank you for reading my blog! There will be more in the future, but for now, I hope you all have a good day.
