No edges: Use the black hair spray on the part were there is no hair and put an bow on the side of your head

Short hair: flat iron it and then put on some leave in conditioner to make it curly and look fuller.

Long hair getting in your face: put it in a ponytail but leave a piece of hair out so you can make a bang and add a ribbon to the ponytail.

Thanks for making camp fun by

sharing and showing URGENT,

Inc’s Core Values:

Learning Innovation Patience

Compassion Responsibility

Reciprocity Teamwork

Animation is a cool thing for technology. What my group did was illustrate where our character would be landing in the cartoon. We decided that our character would land in a col-orful rainbow of mud. Also, the sky will be full of colors like blue, green, purple and pink. It will be windy with rocks roll-ing and grass swaying. That’s a little something that we put together. I also learned that animation can take a very long time to create. What I am going to do is learn more about 3D animation. This is going to interesting. I really enjoyed learning about animation.

Hiding Behind Eyes

Behind the eyes where people can’t see

You’ll find me

I’m invisible

Look at my face and I’ll give a smile

However people don’t think

They don’t see what’s right in front of them

I go everywhere

But people are blind to what they can’t see

Which is me

Because I hide behind eyes

By Kyerstein Ferreira

I Am Invisible

Am I the bear who no one likes?

Do they see me?

I’m so self-conscious about what they thought

I cut my head with a pair of scissors

Now everyone’s sad

Maybe I wasn’t invisible after all

By Jasmine Williams

Reflection

I am ugly not wanted

because of the refection
