Reflection

In your post write to explain how you figured out what equation to use. Did you have any challenges? any aha moments? Did you get help? Did you use any strategies? How did this assignment help you understand more about functions?

• Looking at the examples Ms. Hubbard showed us for examples, I was overwhelmed. We were looking at all these amazing Postcards, that looked so complex and perfect. I had no clue how in the world I was going to this.  I’m also the most un=artistic person ever so I couldn’t rely on my art skills to help me. I started of my project by picking my picture. Who knew that picking an image to recreate would be so hard. I decided on this gorgeous sunset I saw in California last spring. I started off my project by making the background, which in this case is the actually sunset. It was challenging to make sure my couleurs were matching with the original image. my sunset looks a little more green the original but we’ll just say its an artistic choice. I wanted to make i used all my equations form the start, so I looked over the image to see where they could be used. I saw that the clouds and trees had a rounded top so I used quadratic formulas. The process of the creation of the image was a long process, but I was advancing. I had almost finished my project minus the clouds when i opened my computer and all my customized colors were gone. I was panicking thinking something was wrong with my laptop or that I did something.  I had to change all my colors to the basic colors Desmos provides. I decided there was no point in wasting my time trying to fix it, so I just kept going. thankfully after a couple days the colors came back for the most part so I quickly changed them. I was having some problems on how stuff were laying on top of each other. I asked some questions and it was fixed. I ‘m pretty sure if I never asked, my clouds would be siting on top of the whole project. Overall this project was pretty simple after I started understanding how to play with the function. I learned how to use domain and range to my advantage and using different functions. At the start of the project i was looking over the criteria and  I was thinking where would I use square root functions in my project. Who knew they would make perfect branches, or that absolute functions would look exactly like grass sprouting up. I’m proud of how my project turned out and all the hard work I put into it.
