Hybrid Animal Reflection

•  What is the strongest part (visual area) of your finished art piece? Why?
• I think the strongest part of my piece is the wings because it almost does look like the seal is ready to take off flying. 

•  What part (visual area) of your art piece can be improved on? How can it be improved?
• I could improve the face a little more because I think the eyes look a little weird. They aren't lined up perfectly so maybe I could've taken more time for that, or I could've used a different animal. 

• What tools did you use to create your work
• I used the move tool, the clone stamp, the eraser, and I used layer masks.

• How did you use these tools? Explain
• I used the clone stamp to add the top of the sky to the seal picture since it got cut off. For the rest of the project, I moved them all to line up each part I wanted from the other animals with the seal. Then I lowered the opacity to see what I was doing when I erased the parts I didn't want in the picture. 

• What was easy about this art activity? Explain
• The easiest part was probably finding all of the animals and the pictures that I wanted to use and putting them all together. 

• What was difficult about this art activity? Explain
• I had the most difficulty deciding which animals parts I wanted to combine together since there were so many different and weird things I could do.

• Describe how you demonstrated each of the objectives (goals) of this art activity?
• I used three different animals, but four different pictures, to create my piece. To combine all of them I made sure to use the clone stamp tool and the layer mask to complete the objectives. 

• If you could do this assignment again, what would you do differently?
• I would choose different animals to make a completely different hybrid, or I would take some more time to try and find another animal to give the seal a different tail. 

• On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the best), how would you rate your effort on this project? Why?
• I would give myself a 6 or a 7 because I didn't really try too hard on this project. At the same time, I did try to make it look different and crazy. (I would say a seal with wings is definitely a little weird).
