Evolution: Designer Species - Project Blog Post
Backward-Looking: How much did you know about the subject before we started? I knew that lots of animals were connected to ancient animals, such as the burrowing owl, which is linked back to a common ancestor among birds- the archaeopteryx. I also knew that birds may be linked to another bird-like dinosaur- the Archaeornithomimus.
Inward-Looking: How do you feel about this piece of work? What parts of it do you particularly like/dislike? Why? What did/do you enjoy about this piece/work? I feel proud of this piece of work because of the amount of time that I spent trying to make it look presentable and trying to balance out the traits with weaknesses so we could have a developed species. The parts that I particularly like are the parts of which I could sketch and design the animal and the parts that I disliked were the parts when I had to draw the quills of our animal (as we hadn't determined the thickness of them...).
Outward-Looking: If someone else were looking at the piece, what might they learn about who you are? If someone else was looking at our finished piece, they'd learn that I prefer to depict my learning through art and that I prefer to make balanced species that have good weaknesses so they're balanced and a lot more enjoyable to view and grade. They'd also learn that I like to do the drawing when it comes to group projects and that I like to brainstorm ideas with a team of other people.
Forward-Looking: What would you like to spend more time on in school? I would like to spend more time on learning about biology, but to be more specific, I would like to spend more time about avian creatures and sea organisms. I would also like to spend more time learning about how to smoothly animate (like the old Walt Disney movies; The Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, etc.) on an animating software known as TVPaint and how to import set backgrounds and character sketches (to go over so I can smoothly animate- maybe we could have a giant mass project like the Charity Fair, and base it off of the SVA, where the students there have to make thesis films for the year, although to create a 2 minute animation takes several months...) from a painting software known as Paint Tool SAI. And if the animating portion doesn't come true, then like I said, I would like to pursue my interest in zoology/biology. And once again, to be more specific, I would like to spend time on ornithology (the study of birds) and marine biology.
