Reflection
The start of this project was the most difficult for me. I had no idea of what to create using mathematical questions. And then an idea popped into my head, why not just create a design or pattern? Instead of a full blown piece of art relating to something. The 3 Habits of a Mathematician I used were looking for patterns, staying organized and being confident, patient and persistent. To first begin making my piece I had to create a central design to build off of so I made a pattern of 4 circles overlapping each other at the center of the graph. In the Desmos calculator, you have the ability to color code each line on the graph so, I color coded each equation I used for waves(black), circles(blue) and hyperbolas(red). Through this entire project I had to make many revisions on my piece. From altering the equations values to creating multiple drafts of it. I also completely changed my original design twice, from an airplane (too complex) to what i've created. You have to revise your work in order for it to look right and line up properly. To answer the question, "How can mathematical functions be used to model complex imagery that reflect your unique style?" is that with every variant of an equation, there will be an alteration of your art piece.
