Olympic Values Medals

This Blog post is about sharing my Olympic values medals that I designed. The three Olympic values are, excellence, respect and friendship. The medals were a create option for after we had finished our must do's. The other options for the creates were an animation that showed one of the values through sport or to make a poster about the three Olympic values. Once we had done one of these we could do a rap if we wished.

The main thing we were learning about in week one and two for inquiry was the Olympic values that I mentioned earlier in these stems. This Blog post is one of the two creates that I did. The gold medal represents excellence because if you are excellent you are the best you can be. The silver one shows respect because a good way to show that you respect someone is to shake hands with them after the match. Last but not least, my bronze medal is about friendship because you can show friendship by looking after and taking care of your friends.

During this activity I found easy to decide what I was going to put on each of my medals. For example, for excellence I chose an angle heart because if someone is referred to as an angle it means they are the best. That put together with a heart which often means kindness equals to the basic definition of excellence. 

Something that I found rather difficult to do during this time frame was to figure out how I was going to make the medal straps look like medal straps. First I did the coloured bit then went over it to make the gray triangle. If I didn't make the gray triangle the strap wouldn't have looked like an actual strap. 

In future I would like to improve my create by choosing a background that looks slightly more exciting. It would make it harder to improve the medal straps but I could work with it. What do you think I could have improved on with my medals?
