When I started my pixelated picture I did a plan and then we pixelated them I think I did pretty well but I got some of it wrong  it was really fun I hope we do it again and I can try and do it a bit better. I can choose my shapes a bit better and do my plan a bit more accurate.

First I planned my picture with three different hills , river ,trees ,lake ,mushroom and animals.

Then on squared paper I copied my first picture that I planned.  I drew three animals;a swan, rabbit and bear. I thought a rabbit and swan was going to be a hard thing to draw with pixel. But when I finished it I was proud of it and even my teacher was saying it was good! After that I was nearly finished- I had finished my sky and sun . Finally, I coloured the mountains- the hardest bit because it was tricky to make the shading of the light and dark right. When my pixel picture was finished I was proud of it because everything was quite neat!

I feel exited for the project in minecraft because I used to test things on blocks on my ps I like building towers houses building and swimming pools but I have never built parts of Scotland. I feel I can help with the project because I like building structures. I think if I make some mistakes on the colours shades I will improve these things.

Last week on Thursday we did pixelated art we had to draw a plan on a plaine piece of paper then transfer our image onto 1mm squared paper. I think I got on really well in my image I had 3 hills,2 trees one  ethier side of the paper, a bunny, a fox a squirell  in the trees and a stream coming down the 2nd hill , a loch and a family of bunnies . I’m still in the middle of doing my art work so its not finshed but next time I am going to try include less things because its going to take me a long time to finish but I think it will be worth it in the end.

For are art work we were doing pixelated pictures. First of all we planned out are picture and details that we were doing in the picture. Second of all we took a piece of squared  paper and we copied the plan on to the sheet. I added a few mountains that were covered in frost. I also put in a tree and a moon. I think I got on reasonably well but I could of tried to add in more detail.

when we did our pixelated pictures I found it difficult because you needed to fill each pixels. The picture did not look pixelated because there were too many pixels. I drew a natural picture like mountains, rivers, animals and trees. I put in a bear and a rabbit. The next time I could improve my picture.

I started by planning my picture on a sheet of A3 paper and then I copied it onto pixel paper and It did take a while but then when I was finished it looked very nice.  My drawing had a fox three mountains with a bridge going across and a valley of water on the low side of the mountains even though it did look good I thought the mountains could have been more sharp.I think next time I could make my picture more sharp and I know I will probably be better at actually building the scene on minecraft because drawing Is something I could really work on.

Primary 7 and Primary 7/6 have begun their project to create local Landmarks to be included in a virtual map of Scotland for the BBC project “Build it Scotland”. In order to start considering how computer images are created, we have been composing pictures on graph paper. This involved planning out the scene we were going to create on plain paper and then giving it the pixelated treatment by replicating the picture the best we could on 1mm squared paper. We were forced to overcome difficulties such as presenting curved lines to create certain elements of their picture e.g. the sun or hills. Some of the pupils were able to add animals and other details through manipulation of the “pixels” on the paper.
