     For my project I decided to create a drawing of a loon. A loon is a large waterbird with a round head and a bill. First, I used a gradient for my background, I wanted it to look like blurry water. I used four arches to create the head, body, and chest of the loon. Then I used triangles to create a tail and a beak. I combined two arches to create a circle for the eye and used a combination of arches and circles for the spots on the loon. Lastly, I used lines, quadratic curves, and Bezier curves to form ripples on the water.  

    The assignment to roughly around six hours to complete. My favorite part of the piece was the color scheme I chose. I like the different shades of blue combined with the black loon and the small use of red for the eye. I also like the how the shape of the loon turned out.

       The internet according to google, is a global computer network providing a variety of information and communication facilities, consisting of interconnected networks using standardized communication protocols . It has no sole inventor and can be traced back as far as 50 years, when the US used it as a government weapon in the cold war . After the Soviet Union launched the first satellite ‘ Sputnik’ into space, many Americans began to panic. While to satellite did not do much , many Americans began to take science and technology more seri ously . Scientists and the military became concerned about what might happen if the Soviet Union attacked the na tion’s telephone system. J.C.R Licklider, a scientist from M.I.T, thought of creating a “galactic network” of computers that could communicate with one another in 1962. In 1965, another M.I.T scientist created a way of sending information from one computer to another. He called this process “Packet switching.” Around a
