Anamorphic - When an image that is used in photography or cinematography is distorted so that it can only be seen at one angle correctly.

We needed:
Projection is a big part of anamorphic drawing because its all it really is, in order for an anamorphic drawing to work it has to be seen from one spot, and one spot only and then projected on to the surface you are using to draw it on, it cannot just be drawn from hand or from scratch. My partner and I figured out a simpler way of doing this projection method than what everybody else in the class was doing, for ours, we went to a dark room and shined a light from one spot behind our picture frame, then we shaded in the dots and points from where we wanted them to be, then drew the lines connecting the dots and making our image.
The biggest challenge for my partner and I was making 2 drafts in able to get our final product. Most of the other groups only made one draft because they felt like they didn't have enough time to make 2 or they just were happy with their first product, but my partner and I decided that we should make a 2nd draft in order to revise our final product and make it perfect. We did this by spending our class time wisely and working on it while we could.

This is the final product of our 3D drawing project
This is what my partner and I based our 3D object off of.
This was the before (right) and after (left) products of our 3D drawing

TEA Paragraph
I feel that as a student at animas high school the most impact full personal characteristic that I contribute to our culture is that I have leadership qualities, I love having responsibility and it taking control of it comes fairly easily to me. I can show this in my work as a ambassador during my freshman year. This academic characteristic is contributing to the school culture at Animas by helping my piers with responsibilities and also helping out less experienced students at Animas with their responsibilities. Also, this academic characteristic is helping me grow as a person, learner, and as an individual by raising my grade quality, and preparing me for future responsibilities and jobs.

This picture is the "snail trail" geometry project, which was a collection of reflected colored points that were also rotated, to add to the symmetry, and translated. In this project we started out with 5 colored dots and eventually came out with a perfectly symmetrical design.
In this project i learned that working with colors and shapes is way more appealing to me than having to work with numbers and equations.....Maybe thats just because of the way I am or its a trait in the family.

The burning tent lab.
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?

Above is the Burning tent lab, but this is not an ideal picture.....This is a way that the camper would not want to go to go to the river and then the tent because it would take alot longer than the way that is in the picture below, and she would have much trouble with putting out the tentfire if she had to walk that far.
This location is the best way to get to the river then the tentfire without wasting any time, the geometry that leads me to this conclusion is that the angle is the closest that it will get to the other angle and that makes it a direct V to the tentfire, wasting as least time as possible.
I came to the conclusion about the first picture by looking at the paths that the camper would have to walk in order to get to the river and the tentfire, and much longer the distance would be to walk by measuring the angles and comparing them to the other angles.

Hexaflexagon.
The part of my hexaflexagon that I like the most is how it all lines up and is very se metrical. It is more orderly, and visually pleasing, because it uses a pattern. The rest of my hexaflexagon is different placed shapes, the one side with the pattern that lines up, is a little more intricate and interesting. Now that I better understand the rotational symmetry that can be incorporated in the design, there are a lot of things I would change on my design. One of those differences would probably using less shapes that did not match up with each other, and make them all line of perfectly. I think keeping it simpler would be better, if I incorporated in some line-reflection and rotational symmetry. I think it would be interesting to try to have one side using rotational symmetry, the next with line-reflection, then going back and forth between the two, that would make it seem more complicated yet actually the design of the whole thing would be easier. During the process this activity, I found out that I need to work on my precision and accuracy. If I had planned out the symmetry I wanted to use beforehand, my hexaflexagon would have turned out a lot better.

Two rivers
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.

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 location above, for the house is not acceptable because it is too near the West River, and not close enough to the East River, though it is in a five mile radius of the sewage plant. The red circle shows the five mile radius in which the house cannot be located. The line going straight down through the middle of the circle is an angle bisector of the West River and East River. For the house that is shown in the picture to meet the requirements it has to be located on the intersection point between the five mile radius and the angle bisector. If the angle bisector, and radius intersection is neglected, then a satisfying place to build the house will not be located.
In the picture below, the location for the house meets the requirements that were specified by the problem. The house is located precisely on the five mile radius from the sewage plant, it is not downstream from the sewage plant, and is equal distances from both rivers. By finding the angle bisector of the East and West River, and creating a radius that represented the five miles from the sewage plant, it was easy to find the area to locate it. By finding the intersection point of the angle bisector and the radius of the circle representing five miles from the sewage plant, a location to build the house that satisfies the requirements can be found.
