Desmos Art Functions Portrait 2018 Semester 1
For this math graphing project we had to create a self portrait using functions. To create these equations I loosely based them off of the equations we’ve seen in our work throughout the unit. With the listed equations that were also given to us I input numbers that would move the line or shape to where I wished for it to be. There were challenges along the way with creating the equations, it wasn’t all too easy to have everything where you wanted it to be and it often took multiple times to get everything where you wanted it to be. It also took a couple attempts to get the perfect size of whatever I was creating next. After a couple equations you start getting used to creating the equations and you get the hang of it. While I was creating the body/dress I didn’t know how to get it to be filled with colour until I looked back to how I did the eyes and face and realized I just had to change one symbol! At the beginning I was struggling to get any shape to the way it was supposed to and asked my friends and even Ms.McArthur if I really couldn’t understand. My strategies were to take the basic formulas and just adjust to my needs. This assignment helped me develop a deeper understanding for relations and functions with graphs as I got to experiment with the different equations and see and test the results.
