Forest Reindeer

Galloping at full speed between the trees and over the meadow covered hills full of pansies and daisies..... stopping at the lake, drinking fresh cool crystal clear water......eyes dart from side to side, then once again into an elegant canter......antlers swaying with beautiful flowers and leaves just like a garland. That special pink nose, matching the roses and bubblegum pink tail there was a forest reindeer.....

Passion time. I first sketched out some forest reindeer as I called them. Just like a normal reindeer but with different features. Antlers festooned,  and different coloured noses, tails ...... I will make them into a picture and paint it but first I need to finish my dog painting.

A couple of weeks ago I traced a dog from my book and made it into a painting. I have just recently finished the grass but I need to add lilac, yellow etc. for the flowers because I think it will attract the eye. It's starting to look really good and I'm proud - but I'm even prouder of finishing my affective study! 

This morning I finally finished my Jock Paget affective study and I'm really happy with the conclusion. I have presented it on Prezi not a poster board. And I'm glad I did it online because it looks pretty good. It was the last session today to finish it and I was panicking I wouldn't get there,  but I did and thats good. "Whew" I hope you enjoyed my blog post and have a great day! :)

It Travelled

It left marks in the sand and trailed on. It travelled from Facebook to Twitter, TradeMe to Blogs. It trudged on even after my life-time. It would be alive forever.

My Digital Footprint.

My digital footprint is a symbol for internet safety. Like not sharing any personal details like you full name, address, number etc. We leant all about that this afternoon. Nicola told my group that your digital footprint begins before you were born and after you die. 

What is A Digital Footprint???

A footprint on the internet is a file that keeps track of everything you do online. Like if you signed up to Youtube it might come up with these series of questions...

*Name-
  Surname- 
*Online Name-             (the name of your account)
*Email-
 Address-        (possibly)
 Birthdate-


But you don't want to share too much. Too much information can be dangerous. Other people can track you down if you share you number and/or address.

Today I learnt lots of information including that a digital footprint actually exists,  and furthermore, it carries on after you die and before you were born. DO NOT share personal information and be careful on the internet.

Thanks for reading!
