DOUBLE EXPOSURE

Desmos Self Portrait

Welcome to the Double Exposure page! Let me introduce to you my Desmos self portrait. You might remember the original photo on the home page of me holding a card as one flew by my face. This is the same photo, but the only difference is it was graphed on Desmos, a graphing calculator. In this project, I learned how to use circle and oval equations, parabolas, and even a heart equation used twice for the Ace of Spades. Since I had extra time, I added in many extra parabolas for my hair to style it even more. I also learned to restrict the domain and range so the lines wouldn't go endlessly off the page. I would highly recommend anyone to take a portrait of themselves and graph it out!

Dear Math Letter

Here on the left we have my dear math letter, a letter you write to math expressing your thoughts and feelings to it. Note that some words and phrases are bolded and enlarged to show important moments in the letter. These phrases and words highlight the best moments that really stand out. Also, there is the exact same photo as the one above. One of my friends helped me take this photo as I sprung cards into the air and held the Ace of Spades in my hand.

Annotations

This is my Desmos Self Portrait Annotations. Here I show my work on 2 equations per picture. These 2 equations eventually pass through each other at a certain point, and it is my job to solve for the point that they will cross at. All the lines I solved for were linear, no parabolas and no circles. There are also X Y tables showing how you can draw the given lines by plotting the points down and connecting the dots with a line. I like how each picture is a zoomed in part of the whole portrait so you can see in detail what each part looks like.

Identity Card

Next stop: Identity Card. This personal project representing me shows subjects we learned in math. Some of the things we learned were pie charts, graphs, different kinds of ways to represent information, etc. We took these things and combined them into an amazing creation of art. The histogram at the bottom right represents how many countries people have been to, and the arrow pointing downward and saying, "THAT'S ME" is where I fall on the histogram. It points to 16 because I've been to 16 countries. The pie chart represents the ways I learn best, so I tend to be an audio and visual learner. Finally, the box and whisker plot represents self confidence, and I'm at the top of 10 with a few people. Other than that, there are many other photos of me, the places I've been, my hobbies, and much more!

Daily routine - Physics

Here we are at my daily routine relating to physics. This mini project shows and explains what your life looks like and what kinds of things you can apply from physics into your routine. For instance, and example of "force" is "rugby" because it is a brutal sport and requires lots of tackling, which equates to force. Another example, say, for "waves" is the piano because it releases sound waves, and you hear them when the piano is being played. I feel that this project was a nice way to get personal with our life and do a little "pick and choose" between our hobbies and the types of physics available for comparison.

Story Cube

This is a story cube, which describes someone's past memory on a box with pictures, plants, and a tag of the person's experience you displayed. In this case, the person I wrote about got lost in a forest, encountered a bear, got cornered to a cliff, uppercutted the bear, and the bear fell to his doom.

Calendars

We all made calendars for each month, drawing something describing that day. These calendars are kind of like a journal, except you draw out your day instead of writing. That way you have something to refer to and reflect on when you were younger and what you did each day.

Graphic Novel

A wonderful masterpiece, isn't it? This is a graphic novel that one of my teams from last semester in Humanities made. I was one of the phew that Photoshopped all the photos and created pages out of them with text, narration, and borders. Then, there were finalizers which changed the overall look of the page so it had a comic book feeling to it. They also did that to the rest of the pages that were Photoshopped. After that, we created the pages for the credits and title pages. Once we compiled all of them together, we created this incredible graphic novel with everyone's help and effort.

Camera Obscura

One of my favorite projects that is a DIY camera, this bad boy recreates how photos were originally made. They appear upside down because the light rays travel from the top of the aperture to the bottom of the screen, therefore transforming the image. The box is made out of cardboard, and it is sealed off with metal tape so extra light can't enter. Then, there is an aperture about 15 mm in diameter, and finally, a piece of paper taped on the opposite side of the aperture inside the box. We also used a hoodie or cover of some sort so when we put our head through the hole, light wouldn't come up from the box. When done correctly, you can create incredible photos with nothing more than a few items at the hardware store or at your own home.

Pinhole Camera

This one is very similar to the camera obscura, but there were many differences about this project. Firstly, we used a tin can (like Illy's coffee blend) instead of a cardboard box. Then, for the photos, we made them on photo paper instead of on a screen. We also had a dark room to produce the photos taken with the photo paper. For the tin can, we took a thumbtack and simply stuck it in the center of the can, making a very small hole where light could enter. Once we got to the room, we placed a piece of photo paper inside of the can, opposite of the aperture. After that, we placed a shutter over the aperture so no light could enter the can and ruin the photo. Finally, we placed our cans with the aperture facing the direction where we wanted to take the photo, and we let the shutter off for 5 seconds. Once we placed it back on, we headed back to the dark room to leave our photo paper in the developer.
