Project Folder Structure:
Before we start coding we take a look at the project folder structure. We start by creating a folder called – ”Bear CSS Art”. Inside this folder, we have 2 files. These files are :
- index.html
- style.css
HTML:
We begin with the HTML code. Copy the code below and paste it into your HTML document.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
<title>Bear CSS Art</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="hands"></div>
<div class="ear"></div>
<div class="bear"></div>
<div class="eye"></div>
<div class="nose"></div>
<div class="legs"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
CSS:
Next, we style our bear using CSS. For this copy the code provided to you below and paste it into your stylesheet.
