Anamorphic is an object that takes a certain shape when looked at from a specific point.
For this project the materials we used were: 1 sheet of mat finish poster board, a picture frame with the glass still in it, a Vis-a-Vi marker, Drawing pencils, a shoe box, and a paper towel to smudge for shading.
In order to create this drawing my partner and I used projection. One person had to sit still and look through the glass , and made sure to sit still. Then, using one eye, the other person directed them to put dots on the poster board, making sure that the object is in the same place for each point. Then we drew the points together and made sure everything was in the right shape. Then we shaded.
One of the challenges we had to overcome was that we couldn't get the points to line up. We ended up using a chair to rest our chin on to make sure our faces were in the same place.

The Burning Tent Lab
For this lab we were told, "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. "

This picture is incorrect because it makes the distance to get water for the burning tent much farther.
This picture is correct because it is the shortest distance to collect the water.
Two Rivers Lab
In this Geogebra lab we were told "There is a sewage treatment plant at the
point where two rivers meet. 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. "

This lab used a five mile radius in a circle to show how far away the house had to be from the sewage plant, then i measured the distances from the house to the two rivers and place the house where they were equal.
Snail-Trail Graffiti GGB Lab
The geometry concept used to create this design was reflectional symmetry. all of the lines are repeatedly reflected onto each other to make the design.
I really enjoyed this project because i really like making cool designs such as the one above. I had fun learning to use the program Geogebra to make it also. I learned through this that i have a hard time finding patience for technology.

Hexaflexagon
My designs in the hexaflexagon are mostly using line-reflection symmetry, as they are reflected over the lines onto each other.
I really like my German flag design because i think it looks super cool. I would change how well they reflected onto themselves by a lot. I really enjoyed this project. I had difficulty putting this together even with instruction.
