What I did on Wednesday 30th of September

 We first started off by answering some question's about Geffry-museum . The answers are based on how children can interact with the site and play games. After we have completed the questions we had to draw a animal character for the site . Thats my drawing in Photoshop . But before it went in to Photoshop I had to draw it in my art book which Steve gave us today . I drew my horse  in the art pad then scanned it on to my computer , then I  added it to Photoshop to give  more detail like the colors in the background.

After all that was Finished  i then went in to flash to create a moving animation of the horse which you see below of the text .

When I'm Finished all of the we had to draw a futuristic room for the character . I haven't Finnish drawing the room but when I'm done ill be able to show you guys my drawing of me room

1. Find out how to play the Ancient Egyptian game of Senet. Briefly describe the game (on your blog or writing in a Word document).  
 The ancient Egyptian game of Senet was a popular game. It was played by two people . The senate has a grid of 30 squares arranged in three rows of ten . It has two set of pawns , make sure your sticks out of 4 popsicle sticks .In some concepts, all pawns of this two player game are all on the top row in a P1, P2, P1, P2 ,if you land on the other player's piece, you switch places with them. However, you can't switch with them if they have two or more pieces in a row.If the other player has three or more pieces in a row, you can't pass them and must move within your space. It's not known whether it counts as a forfeit of the game or move if you cannot move at all.You can not swap with your opponent if they are on a "safe" square.

my first photoshop project

This is my short story how i made this work of art. Well my college teacher Mr.butler  made us do a game called consequences , which is to start by folding blank white paper in 4r's . You need a pencil to draw your character . First you need to draw the head of the body first , when you finish draw the head you pass it on to the  next person to draw the other half ,but the person you gave the drawing to they must not see what you have drawn first . As the paper goes around everyone ,well not everyone a few people will draw half a part of the body and came up with what you see in my picture.So I take a selfie of the picture to put it up on the computer to be Photoshop for better detail. There was no color at first but with Photoshop i added color like brown,blue,black and green. So that's how i manage to create this character .
