This week we were required to show our BAAM website to Dr. Phil, but suddenly we've find out that nobody has it. It was on Valerka's SD card, and unfortunately she left it at home. It is our shared mistake, because we forgot to make backups. I learned a lesson from it.
Also we have some problems with photos and interviews - they still are not ready. But I think that we will do our best and finish it till the next week.
This week we worked with the carton. Our task was to create a 3D object or animal. I have chosen a penguin. I wanted him to look fat and clumsy, as a real penguin on the dry land (because in the water he is very graceful). I cut the forms and glued them together to make the body.
I enjoyed this type of sculpting very much! I think I will try to make something like this on my own!
At last we have background images! So programmers team started working. We've found out a lot of interesting things - who to put YouTube videos and Flickr photos to the webpage, who to make an object on the background clickable, etc.
There was only one problem. The homepage background image was too large so we had to scroll up and down. We edited it a little bit and made it suitable.
Our website is nearly ready!
This week we had Strawberry Garden Field Trip
Unfortunately only few of us came, but at least it wasn't crowded. We've visited all the workshops, and enjoyed the artistic atmosphere of the garden.
The most amazing thing we have seen was the bronze casting. It was wonderful! Red-hotted bronze overflowed into the forms, and then started to burn on the top. It was breathtaking and seemed to be magical!
I think that this trip will dwell in my memory forever.
