Geometry

Stained Glass Project

For our geometry project, my partner Madison and I made a painted stained glass panel using geometry. We created a butterfly made of parallelograms, triangles, and other shapes, and then wrote proofs of the shapes we used. We were inspired to choose a butterfly because we thought we could make a beautiful butterfly using only geometric shapes since butterflies have such beautiful patterns. In our design, we incorporated the art elements of shape, color, and value, through the colors and range of color values in the wings, and the shapes we used to construct them. We incorporated the design principles of balance and pattern through the symmetry of the wings, and we included emphasis with the contrasting blue spots on the warm-colored wings. We had to include the properties of parallelograms to create our shapes because when we were designing the wings we had to make sure the shapes we used followed the rules of parallelograms, making sure each shape had all the right properties. Then we had to write proof statements with our measurements, explaining how each shape followed each rule, like how consecutive angles have to be supplementary or opposite sides have to be consecutive and parallel.
