Anamorphic DrawingsAnamorphic is when a larger image that is reflected onto the wall, paper, which ever material that you wanted to have the 3-D shape on. When you look at it straight on, the shape doesn’t look 3 dimensional, but when you get it at a certain angle, then it makes the shape. The supplies that you need for this project was a 3-D shape, picture frame with the glass, a box to hold up the picture frame, a ruler and a laser pointer, if you really wanted to be able to mark the specific points easier. Our anamorphic drawing was a result of projection because we were using a laser pointer reflecting through the glass and staying in the same perspective. The challenges for our group was getting all the points correctly and just working together. We are extremely close friends and I love how hard she works for perfection but there are sometimes when I don’t really want to be partnered with her. We are grouped together in almost every single class and sometimes I want to work with someone else. Also, we work differently, she is very intent on perfecting everything but I am more into getting things done in a timely manner. For example, an idea that I had for getting the points on the paper quickly was to turn the lights odd, shine a light through the glass and trace the reflection. This idea could possible work except we both rushed it because we didn’t want to be caught in the girl’s bathroom with the lights off.

Hexaflexagon
|
The feature of my hexaflexagon that I enjoy most is probably the rainbow side because that was first of all, the one side that I planned out and also it really catches the persons eye. Some symmetry refinements that I would like to make would be to make some straighter lines for the plaid side and the third photo's lines. I free-handed the third one and you can really tell that not all the lines were straight, or that they all didn't match up. One thing that I learned about myself in this project is that I don't fully think things through when I m creating and then, when the final product is shown I regret doing some part of it.

Snail Trail Lab
|
The geometry concept used to create the Snail Trail was... Probably the more artistic part of Geometry. Many people don't think that math can have art in it, but this lab really opened my mind to the artistic side to it. The interesting thing about doing this lab was that I had actually missed the say that it was taught and had to go off instructions from Cathy's DP. I learned that I can actually follow instructions even without knowing what it was suppose to look like. I was really excited about what the trail did, and so I kept making more.

Two Rivers Lab
The first photo is showing where you would want to put your house for great fishing, and farther away from the sewage plant. The second picture is showing one of the many possible places to put your house that would make living a little smelly and less-fishing than the requirements wanted. The reason that you would chose picture 1 is because you are not in direct contact with the sewage plant, and you are in walking distance of the rivers.

Burning Tent Lab in Geogabra
You wouldn't want to chose picture one because you would have to run past your burning tent to get to the river, and by the time that you reached your tent, it would have been burned to a crisp. The second photo is the best to represent the need to stop the fire because you run straight through the river and towards your tent.
