It’s Monday. This means I was looking through the Week 5 Assignments, writing them down, and mapping out my DS106 week. When I was reading the summary, I came across in the daily creates to try and submit your own. This was so cool to me! I had no idea you could add to the Daily Create Website. So this was my first week 5 assignment.  I immediately knew what I wanted to add, so I clicked on the link and filled out the information.  I was so proud that I took a snapshot of me adding the assignment.

I also went ahead and did the daily create myself so I could be the first person to do MY daily create. With limiting materials (a few colored pens and highlighters) I attempted an abstract drawing of a turtle. Turtle have been my favorite animal for a while. I think they are fascinating being able to live for such a long time, yet many species are extinct. I have always wanted to volunteer down in Hawaii when the turtles are nesting and help protect the babies.

This daily create isn’t about just boringly drawing a stick figure of a cat or a dog. I want people to really think of what their favorite animal is and then draw it in a creative way. I didn’t just draw a turtle exactly how it looks like, but just the outline and his shell pattern. Use any materials you can find! (pencil, pen, crayon, highlights, or even paint on your computer) Have fun with it!
