Icon

For this activity, we went on the internet and chose a single object that we felt had identifiable traits. I chose a sailboat i the water. The most identifiable part of the sailboat is definitely the sails. Other important parts are the stern and the rails on the boat. The tiny windows are also a classic characteristic along with the steering wheel even though it is hard to identify in my picture. 







Next, we were told to make an icon using basic shapes that would identify the sailboat. I took a triangle and elongated it to make a sail and then used two lines to identify that there are two sails next to each other. I enjoyed this activity and feel like my icon is a clear representation of a sailboat.
