PROJECT SUMMARY

I don't have an exact question or problem but I am planning on creating an interactive art on the graphing calculator of desmos. I am planning to create codes that can make some type of interactive coding and that can be attractive for people that look at project and that can just be a fun and creative code.

WHY?

I chose this project because I think that I have enough math knowledge to make codes to make an interactive code that can change with the difference of a number. Whether its the height, or the size, or the length. I am not exactly trying to solve any problem but I do want to make a code/s that can make a drawing.

HOW?

I used the desmos graphing calculator to make an interactive code. I found out that cos represents is the ratio of the length of the side adjacent to the angle to the length of the hypotenuse. So I used this information to make a heart. My heart consists of one code that makes zigzag lines that when you adjust the adjuster on the bottom it can either make the lines closer to each other or can make them more separated.

WHAT?

I was able to make an interactive code that ended up making a heart. This heart is different because I combines lines in a form of a heart rate monitor. My design works if you adjust the adjuster the lines will either look it like it the heart rate is fast or slow. I used desmos to create this code because it is one of the sources I use most in math class and as I used it I kept creating lines that can potentially lead to a drawing.

SO WHAT?

My results were really important and they mean that math sequences aren't really just for solving math. In today's technology is so much powerful and advanced that before we can make lines and solve equations with just a click of a button. With this project I learned so many new math features and signs of math that can help to code and will help me as I get older in my future math classes.

WHAT'S NEXT?

I think that next time instead of doing an equation, I can make a real code with some type of coding platform. For example in STEAM class we've been looking at p5.js editor make something similar to what I did but instead of math equations use codes and even try to make something bigger; like an app.

JUDGES FEEDBACK

Fantastic connection between math and art. In this model you show that artistic elements from our imaginations can actually be expressed using mathematical models. Furthermore, these models can vary, as some can use lines and some can use curves (sin, cos). I encourage you to share more other versions of the designs before you concluded on this final one.
