Homework: Line (String) Art. Set: 13th March 15. Due: 17th March 2015.

This homework is an extension from Cardioid, that we did recently.  Enjoy, have fun and explore.

 



 There are lots of images of 'string art' on the internet.  Here are a few examples below:

 

 

 

  

Individualised Learning

Matrix / matrices: Individualised learning

·        Based on Prior Attainment
·        current level (work, homework & exams)
·        and future target

You will have 9 – 11 tasks on your matrix.  You will need to have at least 9 tasks signed off over a three week period.

When you have finished a task, mark it using a different coloured pen.  Answers are in the answer books.  If you have incorrect answers, work out where you have gone wrong and correct them.  Do not just change the answer.  If you need help, please ask for it.  Then you can tick it off your matrix.

When you are happy with your work, test yourself using the test book.  Please bring the test book and your maths book to the teacher for marking and signing off the task on your matrix.

You need to complete a task every lesson.  If you do not, take it home to complete.

Homework: Victor Vasarely on Isometric Paper. Set 6th March 2015. Due 10th March 2015.

 

 

Homework due in on Tuesday:  On Isometric paper, design your own ‘Vasarely’



Victor Vasarely became a graphics designer and a poster artist during the 1930s who combined patterns and organic images with each other.

 

Vasarely left Hungary and settled in Paris in 1930 working as a graphic artist and as a creative consultant in advertising agencies.

Vasarely eventually went on to produce art and sculpture mainly focused around the area of optical illusion.  Over the next three decades, Vasarely developed his style of geometric abstract art, working in various materials but using a minimal number of forms and colours.

Below are some fantastic examples from classes 7C & 7K:

Homework: Isometric Sequences. Set: 30th Jan 2015. Due: 3rd Feb 2015

Isometric Sequences

• Decide on a pattern (you only need to do one set)
• You need to have 6 steps or more.
• I choose a Regular Hexagon for Position 1
• I made it grow, with an Equilateral Triangle from each side for Position 2
• For Positions 3 to 6, I grew these triangles.

• Position 1:   6 triangles
• Position 2: 12 triangles   (add 6 to previous term)
• Position 3: 18 triangles   (add 6 to previous term)
• Position 4: 24 triangles   (add 6 to previous term)
• Position 5: 30 triangles   (add 6 to previous term)
• Position 6: 36 triangles   (add 6 to previous term)

For the nth rule, we look at the difference in the terms, in the above case it is add 6.  We know that the coefficient of x (that is the number before x) is 6.

nth rule = 6x

The nth rule enables us to find out how many triangles there are in which ever position we choose.

If we look at position 6, we can calculate how many triangles we will need without drawing out the pattern.

nth rule = 6x, 6 x 6 = 36 triangles

 

 

• Position 1:    5 triangles
• Position 2:   9 triangles   (add 4 to previous term)
• Position 3: 13 triangles    (add 4 to previous term)
• Position 4: 17 triangles    (add 4 to previous term)
• Position 5: 21 triangles    (add 4 to previous term)
• Position 6: 25 triangles   (add 4 to previous term)

For the nth rule, we look at the difference in the terms, in the above case it is add 4.  We know that the coefficient of x (that is the number before x) is 6.  However, if we substitute Position 1 into the rule, we get 4 x 1 = 4, but we need it to be 5!  We need to add 1 to the rule to make it work

nth rule = 4x + 1

The nth rule enables us to find out how many triangles there are in which ever position we choose, whether it be Position 1, Position 6 or Position 6001!

If we look at position 6, we can calculate how many triangles we will need without drawing out the pattern.

nth rule = 4x, 4 x 6 + 1 = 25 triangles
