Colemans Anamorphic 3-D Drawing Project
Wright Up
1. In your own words, define ANAMORPHIC. You will need to do some research on this. You may include references to photos that illustrate the property in order to support your definition. SITE sources appropriately.
Anamorphic is a distorted projection of an object or an image that is made using a tool to project the original image.

2. Describe the supplies that you used to create your drawing.
To create our anamorphic drawing first we chose an image that we thought would look cool, then we got a poster board to project the image onto, a picture frame with the glass in it to use to project the smaller image which we traced onto the glass. We also used a pencil of course, a laser pointer, a Visa-V marker to draw the image onto the glass, a sharpie and a ruler to make our lines straight.

3. Explain how your anamorphic drawing is the result of "projection." Describe how you achieved this projection. Describe the process you and your partner used to create your drawing.
The anamorphic drawing that we did is a projection because we used the glass as the projector to project the small image onto a poster by looking threw the glass and putting points down on the paper where we saw them when we looked threw the glass.

4. Describe any part of the process that presented challenges for you and your group. Describe the strategies you used to overcome these challenges.
The most challenging thing for me and my partner was finishing on time because the first projection that we did of the image didn't look at all like it was supposed to so we tried to just try and make it symmetrical without looking threw the projection to make sure that the points all lined up which did not work. The day before the project was due we decided to start over and with the help of Cathy we were able to get all of the points in and all of the lines drawn in one class period and then I went over to my partners house after school to finish the shading and get it in on time.

Hexaflexagon
The hexaflexagon is a piece of paper that had lines that we folded and colored in. If you were successful with the coloring of your hexaflexagon, it is supposed to look because when you fold it and put it together then it will look like your drawings are reflected three times. I didn't make all of my drawings the same so my drawing didn't look symmetrical when I put it together.I should have made them all the same if I wanted them to look like they were reflected.
I didn't like how my drawings turned out because they were not symmetrical when I put them together. The part that I did like was how I put it together, I made sure to crease each line a lot and also used glue instead of tape so that my end product looked neat. If I were going to do another one I would make each side symmetrical by making each drawing the same. I would also probably use a simpler design so that it is easier to replicate the design on all of the sections. I learned from this activity that I am a terrible drawer.
Snail Trail Graffiti Lab
This picture was created on a program called GeoGebra, this is a website that allows you to make shapes, reflect points, rotate points etc. To create this picture I made a circle, divided it into six parts. Then I made a point in one of the sections and reflected over all of the lines. Then I drug the original dot around the screen. the reason that the picture is symmetrical is because all of the points are reflections of the first point. That is why all of the shapes are the same because the lines move with each other. I learned that I am good at making beautiful patterns, and that I can follow directions. I really liked how mine turned out, and I would do it the same if we had to do it again.
Two Rivers GGB Lab
You want to build a house near the two rivers (upstream from the
sewage plant, naturally), but you want the house to be at least 5 miles from the sewage plant. You
visit each of the rivers to go fishing about the same number of times but being lazy, you want to
minimize the amount of walking you do. You want the sum of the distances from your house to the
two rivers to be minimal, that is, the smallest distance.

two rivers to be minimal, that is, the smallest distance.
This is an image of the scenario explained above, but this one is not acceptable. The reason that this on isn't acceptable is because although the house is five miles upstream of the sewage plant, the distances between the two rivers are not the shortest. If the distances were the shortest then the line between the two rivers would be perpendicular to one of the rivers and the house would be somewhere along that line
The picture above is an example of the correct location of the house, as you can see the house is on the line of the perpendicular line between the east and west river . The house is upstream from the house five miles just like it is supposed to be, I know this because I made the circumference five miles and the house is on the tangent of the circle. The perpendicular line is the shortest path because that
One thing that led to my conclusion that the second picture is the correct one , is that the house is five miles from the sewage plant because the plant is the center and I set the circles ray to five miles. Also the perpendicular bisector of the line connecting the two rivers is connected to the house and the house is in the center of the two rivers, creating the shortest and equal path to both.
Burning Tent GGB Lab
A camper out for a hike is returning to her campsite. The shortest distance between her and her campsite is along a straight line, but as
she approaches her campsite, she sees that her tent is on fire! She must run to the river to fill her canteen, and then run to her tent to put out
the fire. What is the shortest path she can take? In this exploration you will investigate the minimal two-part path that goes from a point to a line and then to another point. Basically the point of the lab is to find the most direct and smallest path to the river and from there to the tent fire.

The picture above dose not satisfy all of the requirements for the lab and does not show the correct path. The point at which the camper goes to the river not only is a long way from the camper but also makes the camper get water in the opposite direction of the tent fire, the most direct root should be closer to the point in between the camper and the tent fire.
The picture above shows where the camper would want to get water for the shortest path. in the picture you can see that the camper is following the dotted path to the reflection of tent fire. The reason that this is the shortest path is because the reflection of tent fire over the river shows the direct rout if it was a straight line and the most direct route is the shortest so you would want to follow a straight path to the reflection.
I learned from this lab how to find the shortest distance from point when there is not a straight path, I also learned about reflections and how they can be used in finding the shortest distance.
