I had a lot of fun with this project, coming up with a repeating design by using for() loops and declaring my own functions. I came up with the idea of hot air balloons because I thought that they would be cute and simple. I like my final design, I think it would be good for a backpack, computer desktop screen, or wallpaper for a child’s room. In future projects, I will work on incorporating more variables into the drawings of the specific objects.
