  • Help each other to make sure each person in your group completes ALL the steps of the process individually. (This involves: Make a drawing in Desmos, Export it to an SVG file, Import the SVG file into Inkscape, Use the AxiDraw to draw it.) By the end of this process, everyone should have had practice with every step.
  • If you have time left over, help each other with the other parts of this homework assignment too.

1. Find a function whose graph has a shape you like.
2. Restrict the domain of your function so you have a "snippet" of the graph.
3. Insert h and k's into your equation(s) so that you are able to translate the "snippet" using a slider. Make sure the slider works correctly before going on to the next step.
4. Use the techniques from the last homework assignment to "save the data" of your translated snippets.
5. Create two lists, H and K, for the data. The list H should contain the horizontal translation data and the list K should contain the vertical translation data.
6. Replace the "h and k" parameters by the "H and K" lists and all your curves will appear together.
• Here is an example of what your final notebook should contain.
• (By the way, I highly recommend working together with classmates on this task!!! It will be helpful to have input from someone else who is working on something similar, in order to ask each other questions as you go along.)

• Work to create a scene that reflects the terms you chose. The scene should have at least five snippets and be monochromatic—every function should be the same color.
• Share your artwork on Teams in the Week 05 - Artistic Exploration channel. Make sure you share both a PNG and the URL of your artwork. Also Share the terms that influenced your work and write a sentence or two in which you assess whether you think you were successful in capturing the essence of those terms.

• Discussion of the Project 1 Rubric
• This week and next you are going to go through the steps of the Double Diamond Design Model to create your first project.
• First, work on Discovery. Draft three different initial sketches that could form the basis for your final piece of art. You are exploring the mathematical space to see what tools speak the most to you.
• You can start these sketches on paper if you like, however it is very important that you work to translate your ideas into mathematical functions and display them in Desmos.
• You are encouraged to work with your neighbor and ask Prof. Hanusa questions about accomplishing what you want to accomplish.
• Next is Define. Decide on one of the initial sketches that you'd like to develop further.
• You're now ready to Develop. This is going to involve some prototyping. What is the best way to assemble the pieces into a scene? You should explore at least three different scenes involving the same mathematical pieces. Get some feedback from classmates, friends, and family.
• Before the next class, use the AxiDraw to print out at least three different scenes. Feel free to use different materials to realize them.
• Reserve a time in the next week to use the AxiDraw machine. Feel free to go with a classmate or two since that's more fun!

• Complete the steps you started in class.
• Visit the Makerspace and create your three different drawings.
• Create a digital record of your visit to the Makerspace by doing one of the following things:
• Take a picture together with your classmate in the Makerspace.
• Take a selfie with the AxiDraw setup.
• Take a video of your process getting your artwork into Inkscape.
• Take a video of the AxiDraw machine in motion.
• Take a picture of the many pieces of paper you used during the trial and error phase.

Write at least one paragraph (5–7 sentences) about what you experienced, or what was difficult, or the process you used to complete these first steps. Save this paragraph on your own computer so that you can use it during your writeup. Then submit it as your assignment before class.

1. Start with a function or implicit function you have never used before or that you want to explore further.
2. Introduce sliders and restrict the domain as necessary to that you have a "snippet" of a graph that is pleasing to your eye. Once you've finalized your "snippet", make sure your equation doesn't have any variables other than y and x.
3. On a new line, create a copy of your "snippet" by replacing ALL the x's by ((x-h)/b) and all the y's by ((y-k)/a) to create a fully transformable copy of this "snippet" using sliders. Make sure the sliders work correctly.
4. Arrange the transformed curve with the original curve so that they align in a way you are satisfied with.
5. Do this again to make a third copy of the curve.
6. Do this at least one more time so that your final scene has at least four transformed copies of your original snippet on the same picture.

• Exploration of The Unit Circle. Pay particular attention to:
• How to convert between degrees and radians
• How an angle corresponds to a point on the circle.
• How the x-coordinate and y-coordinate change as the angle changes.
• How if we draw the behavior of the x-coordinate as a function of theta we get x=cos(θ)
• How if we draw the behavior of the y-coordinate as a function of theta we get y=sin(θ)
• Discussion of Polar Coordinates. Pay particular attention to:
• How in Cartesian Coordinates, a point is represented by a horizontal displacement x and a vertical displacement y. Every point has a unique (x,y) pair.
• How in Polar Coordinates is represented by a distance to the origin r and an angle θ.
• Every point has many (r,θ) pairs.
• Practice this together: "128 Day 13 - Polar Coordinates Practice"
• Discussion of Polar Graphs. Pay particular attention to:
• When we draw the graph of y=f(x) using Cartesian Coordinates, we change our value of x and determine how far above or below the x-axis the dot is placed based on f(x).
• When we draw the graph of r=f(θ) using Polar Coordinates, we change the value of our angle θ and determine how far in the direction of θ the dot is placed based on f(θ).

• Use the techniques from class to intentionally build a draft artwork involving exactly two polar functions by doing the following:
1. Develop a polar curve of your own choosing. You may wish to start with a curve from our Desmos Activity "Day 13 - Polar Equations Investigations" or the Fifty Famous Curves pdf.
2. Next, introduce parameters to modify the shape so that it is how you want it to be.
3. Then, apply some transformations to the shape, either by translating, dilating, or combining it with another function.
4. Think to restrict the domain of your polar function in a thoughtful way.
5. Last, Add a second, complementary curve to your image to complete the artwork. This complementary curve can either be a standard function y=f(x), an implicit function, or another polar function.
6. There should only be two (carefully crafted) curves in your final image.
