1. In as much detail as possible record the steps it took to create this project in Adobe Illustrator. Use complete sentences.​ Try to recall as many of the different tools, processes, and keyboard commands as possible. First I started with creating a new file then selecting the orientation and clicking the letter 792 x 612. Then I used the shape builder tool to enter a square and create my background. I then changed the gradient on the square. I then used the pen tool to create the hill of grass. Then I used The outer glow fx to make the sun pop. Then I looked up an image to use the pen tool and curvature tool to trace the details on the grass and added animals to the background. I then made the hill circle fill to green and changed the gradient of the background. and added clouds to make the background pop. Lastly, I exported it and turned it into Google Classroom and Wix.
2. How do animators and color stylists use Ai in their profession?
AI tools can create character movements, facial expressions, lip-syncing, and more to speed up production and open new creative possibilities for animators.

3. What type of landscape did you set out to create? Did your final product meet the expectations you set for yourself; why or why not?
I created a peaceful sunset landscape with grass and a dry tree. I think I met my expectations because it looked good and I had fun doing it.
4. Based on the learning target, what level of mastery does your project demonstrate (Exceeds, Meets, Needs Work, minimal understanding)? Why do you think so? Make sure to provide specific evidence.
I think I exceeded because I didn't know I could do it and it was good and the details on the grass and animals in the background.
