HTML Lesson 6 - 4 Images




These are the images I edited and put on my Thanksgiving webpage. I edited the mashed potatoes, pie, stuffing and turkey by adding faces to them. I also added a hat to the turkey. For all of these images, I brightened and clarified them.

HTML Quiz

These were my HTML quiz results. I did not do very well at all. Some of the things on the quiz we did not even know, such as adding images and text-boxes. I did know all of the tags that we went over in class though.

Intro to HTML

For the first lesson the tools I used were;

<html>  -  designates an HTML document

<head> - designates the head of the document

<title> - designates the title that appears in the browser’s window

<body> - designates the contents of the document

<h1>, <h2>, <h3>, <h4>, <h5>, <h6> - designates a heading; there are six levels of headings

<p>  -  designates a paragraph of text

<p align=right> - designates a paragraph of text will be right aligned

<p align=center> - designates a paragraph of text will be centered

<br> - indicates a line break



What I want to know about Web Design is how to add colors to the text and to change the font.

Reflection on Artificial Intelligence Programs

The main problem with the functionality of these programs is that the bots just keep repeating themselves. For instance, Eliza would say "Tell me more..." over and over again even if there was nothing else to say. Also, some of these bots just say random things. For example, Alice asked me how I was and I replied with "Good." and she replied with "Thanks for the compliment." Some of the things they say just doesn't make sense, and it isn't actual conversing, it's just them repeating, quoting, or saying random things.

Viewing/Observing People's Blogs

I have observed other people's blogs and I have noticed a few things. Firstly, I noticed that some people really challenged themselves and made extremely advanced designs, while others like myself preferred to stay in their comfort zones. Another thing I noticed is that everyone interpreted the dog design in their own way as well. For instance, Michelle decided to add ears and a collar to the dog, and I made the tail shorter than it was on the website because I just felt that it looked better. I learned and observed that the people on my blog list have different comfort zones, and all of them have varying creative sides as well.

Virtual Cornrow Curves

This is the cornrow curve I decided to re-create.

Virtual Rug

This is the virtual rug I chose to re-create. I have progressed through design 1, 2, and 3 by learning different techniques. For the first design I only did the point technique. For the second design I did the point technique and learned how to do the line technique, and lastly for the third design I did the point, line, and I learned how to do the triangle technique.

Virtual Basket Weaving

This is the virtual basket I chose to re-create. To create this, I used both the point and line technique. For the beige fill and the brown lines at the top and bottom of the basket, I used the line technique. For the dog, I used the point technique. A challenge I had was removing the weaves and then re-adding them if I had to, because sometimes I would place the wrong color.
