Dear Friends I would like to inform you that only until the end of March 2024 I will be an employee of Wikimedia Poland in the position of Open Education Manager. I made a difficult decision about this change, and since the international part of wiki education was and is always very important to me, I would like to let you know now and say a preliminary goodbye :) Previously, I had already been a Wikipedia volunteer for several years (my account was created in 2015), so that the following years, which I also spent as a staff member of the Polish chapter, gave me an incredible opportunity to have a broad view of the issues, difficulties, joys and challenges of our community. I believe that the projects and solutions I invented and developed in cooperation with wonderful people will continue. A huge thank you to all of you - who supported me with a conversation, a joke, a virtual and live meetings, brainstormings and challenges that gave me energy and satisfaction. I wish you perseverance and joy in what you do. I want to continue to stay with you as a volunteer, let's stay in touch - I hope it will not be only virtual contact. my private email: klara.sielicka(a)gmail.com, Have a wonderful weekend, Klarqa Z poważaniem / Sincerely Klara Sielicka-Baryłka Menadżerka ds.

Coloriage d'animaux - L'activité préférée des enfants
by zuweeratahmad＠gmail.com 15 Jan '24

Introduction Les animaux fascinent les plus petits avec leurs formes amusantes, leurs poils colorés et leurs têtes craquantes. Alors quoi de mieux que de les retrouver en coloriage ! https://coloriagewk.com/ Dans cet article, je vous donne toutes mes astuces de pro pour réaliser de superbes coloriages d’animaux, des plus classiques chiens et chats, aux animaux exotiques comme les lions ou les girafes. On va apprendre à choisir les bonnes couleurs, à jouer sur les détails rigolos, et à donner vie à nos boules de poils préférées pour le plus grand plaisir des enfants ! Des chiots et chatons au poil lisse Commençons par nos amis à quatre pattes. Voici mes conseils pour des coloriages réussis de chiens et chats Des yeux scintillants En coloriage animalier, l’étape clé est de bien travailler le regard. Privilégiez des yeux bien ronds et brillants pour donner de la personnalité. Un pelage uniforme Utilisez les couleurs de poils typiques de chaque race mais aussi adaptez l’intensité et la saturation en fonction des zones de lumière et d’ombre sur l’animal. Des accessoires rigolos Ajoutez des éléments sympathiques comme un os à mâchouiller, une balle à faire rebondir ou des jouets divers pour animer la scène. Des félins sauvages Passons maintenant aux gros matous exotiques. Lions, tigres ou panthères, voici mes tips pour réussir leurs rayures caractéristiques. Des rayures fluides Entraînez-vous sur une feuille à part à réaliser des rayures harmonieuses d’un même trait de crayon ou feutre avant de les reporter sur votre dessin. Un pelage texturé Variez l’épaisseur, l’espacement et l’inclinaison de vos rayures pour donner du volume et du réalisme à la fourrure de l’animal. Un environnement crédible Intégrez votre félin dans un paysage de savane ou de jungle avec de la végétation typique pour renforcer le réalisme.
