Spring!!

This is my picture of springtime, as you can probably already tell from the rabbit and flowers. in this picture, I drew lots of different flower, including some daisies. I drew these because flowers are one of the main features of spring. Also, they are pretty and fun and add a cool vibe to the scene. In addition to the flowers, I drew a rabbit because they come out during the spring and are a huge part of Easter. To bring an Easter-feel to the picture, I drew Easter eggs, which are fun and cute to see. Every object that I drew in this picture was drawn because they have to meaning of spring to me.

Some Facts About St. Patrick's Day Origin Are:



1. Many of the first people to celebrate St. Patrick's day were starved Irish-Catholics who fled to America during the potato famine.

2. Irish families would traditionally go to church in the morning and then have a celebration in the afternoon. Since the celebration was during Lent, all the restrictions against eating meat were waved for the day and people would celebrate and eat Irish Bacon and Cabbage.

3. St. Patrick is the Patron Saint of Ireland. He is known for banishing the snakes.

4. The first St. Patrick's day parade took place in the United States when Irish Soldiers marched through New York City. This helped them to reconnect to their Irish roots.

5.Until about 1970, Ireland celebrated St. Patrick's day as a religious holiday, until the government decided to use it to drive tourism.

Nemo

This is my hand drawn picture of Nemo. This was made using Paint. On Paint, to select a color from an image you simply click on the dropper in the toolbar, and then use it to click on the color you want and it will transfer. To make the back of a text box transparent, you click on the A button and then select the option with no color on the background of the box. However to fill the background you click on the option with the color in the background of the dotted box.. You change your text size by clicking the text size in the Font box and change the font color by highlighting all of the font and clicking on the color you would like. You must make sure that you text is completely correct in a text box before clicking off because you cannot go back once you have clicked off.

Cartoon


I used the program Paint to complete this project. One fact about Pluto the Pup is that he was first featured in the show Playful Pluto. He also has a son named Pluto Junior. The only words he has ever spoken are "Kiss Me". The website I used to find these facts was: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluto_(Disney)
