This was difficult. My favorite animal is a panda and if I was using circles it would have been way easier. He is all black and white and I created him on paint. I was able to change the size of the triangles and color them in, but like I said I could only use triangles to make a traditionally round creature.
I chose to complete the Triangle Animal Assignment. Of course, I decided to make a dog out of triangles. My favorite animal is really a turtle, dogs are second best, although I wasn’t really sure how to go about making a turtle out of triangles! With the help of the camp packing list, I chose to use the web-based vector editor called Raven (by Aviary). I have found Aviary to be a really cool site and I plan to use it for many assignments in the future. In addition to the image editor I have used for my visual assignments, along with the vector editor I just mentioned, Aviary also offers a swatch editor, an effects editor, and an audio editor, just to name a few. I can’t wait to continue exploring what the site has to offer.
While doing this project on Raven, I mostly used the “Create Spiro Path” selection, then chose the polygon and edited the vertex count to 3 in order to make triangles. I resized them, arranged them the way I wanted, added a little bit of color, and this is what I came up with:
