Storybird

For this project, I used www.storybird.com. With storybird, I was able to create a fun childrens' book pretty easily and quickly. I would recommend this website because it is easy to navigate and you have lots of pictures to choose from when you are creating your story. http://storybird.com/books/santas-mission-2/

Principles of Design

This prezi is a result of a group project where we all worked on the same thing. It was really neat being able to work on the same prezi at the same time from different computers, and being able to see what everyone else was doing. when doing a project about the principles of design, I learned a lot. I learned that:
1) Unity- I didn't even know unity was a principle of design. Relating the design elements to the idea being expressed in a painting reinforces the principle of unity.
2)Gradation- I never really knew what it meant.Gradation of size and direction produce linear perspective. Graduation of color from warm to cool and tone from dark to light produce aerial perspective. Graduation can add interest and movement to a shape. graduation from dark to light will cause the eye to move along a shape.  
3)Balance- I never even thought about balance in a picture or painting. Balance in design is similar to balance in physics.

Edulaunch

These photos were all edited by www.edulaunch.com, which I thought was very difficult to use. The end result of these pictures were cool, but it took a long time. Some of the tools on edulaunch were really helpful, and the directions they gave were usually pretty clear, performing the actions was the hard part.
