Art Project 3

This assignment is take 4 screenshot from nasa and answer few questions.

Checklist:
Refer to the Instructions for more-complete descriptions of all of the required items for your “journal.”
Your file submission in this assignment must be a single PDF file — a document containing a series of 4 images, each with accompanying written sections as follows:
Image 1
Modeled on a real extrasolar planet, selected from the NASA’s Eyes catalog.
You should use the NASA’s Eyes catalog (available for use online in your browser at this link ()) to find a real extrasolar planet, according to the instructions. Then enter the properties of this planet and its star into our “World Builder” tool (either online at this link (), or downloaded from the links given in Canvas) and hit the “Explore” button. The link is Eyes On Exoplanets
Take a screenshot of this world in the program and insert it into your “Explorer’s Journal” document, labeled “Image 1.”
Writing to accompany Image 1
Based on the real planet from NASA’s Eyes — entered along with Image 1 in the same single file. You should include:
chosen star’s information gathered from NASA’s Eyes:
the Star’s Name, Spectral Type, Distance from Earth, Number of planets, and Mass
chosen planet’s information from NASA’s Eyes:
the Planet’s Name, Planet’s Type, Discovery Date, and Method of Detection
Planet Mass, Planet Radius, Planet Orbital Distance, Planet Orbital Period
From the “World Builder”:
Type of surface selected, and why
Type of atmosphere chosen, and why
the World Builder’s calculated Surface Temperature and Surface Gravity
a description the world in Image 1 — i.e., what exploring the planet was like, after you hit the “Explore!” button
Image 2
An artistically-appealing planet — which need not be realistic
Use the World Builder again to create a different, fully customized, planet that you consider artistically appealing and interesting (by considering colors, surface features, rings, moons, positioning of star in sky, etc.).
Take a screenshot from an appealing vantage point and insert it into your “Explorer’s Journal” document, labeled “Image 2.”
Written Statement for Image 2
Address all of the following in a statement of at least 100 words:
How did you decide on the type of planet, rings, moons, and vantage point in order to make this artwork?
Why do you feel it is appealing and interesting artistically?
In what ways is your planet realistic or not (it is fine if it is not) — you have taken “artistic license” in some way?
Image 3
The possibly-habitable or habitable planet on which your imagined life form lives
Use the World Builder to make a planet that is either habitable, or that you imagine could be home to some unusual life form. Use your imagination, supported by the background reading you did for this project.
Take a screenshot while exploring your habitable world in the World Builder, and insert it into your “Explorer’s Journal” document, labeling it “Image 3.”
Written Statement for Image 3
This should be at least 100 words for full credit. It should describe the planet & star, and general appearance in the Explore mode. It should also address both of the following questions:
What is the surface temperature of this planet, and could it be habitable by human-like life?
Why would this planet be habitable by the imaginary life form that you are going to create for this assignment? (next image)
Image 4
Your original work of art!
Using whatever medium you choose — crayons, pens, paint, computer design tools, clay, found materials, fabric, or other — create an extraterrestrial life form that lives on the planet in Image 3.
Use your imagination, but also think about the many ideas in the background readings. Your creature must not be copied from one you saw in the readings; it must be your own original creation. There need not be a scene behind or around your creature; it can just by itself, but there can be scenery if you wish.
If your artwork is in a physical form (e.g., a drawing on paper, or a sculpture of some kind, etc.), then you will need to scan or take a digital photo of it. Include your digital image in the same Explorer’s Journal document, labeled “Image 4.”
Written Statement for Image 4
This statement must be at least 200 words in length overall, and must address all of the following:
Describe your imagined creature and tell its story. What is it called?
How does it compare to life on Earth?
How is it that this type of life can exist on the planet you designed for “Image 3”?
Refer to three or more specific points from the background reading that motivated/inspired the design of your own original creature.
