Art Show 2012 (Algebra 2)
For Chemgebra the whole class had to use Geogebra to make a slice of a face. Mr. Hébert was in charge of giving each student a slice of the picture while the students were in charge of making the slice of the picture in Geogebra using ellipses, circles, parabolas, and hyperbolas. It was difficult to include each type of requirement because we had to make it realistic as possible but it was fun doing this piece of art.
Trying to use all the conic sections but still make it look like the picture we got was challenging. I had to take the role as an artist and as a viewer which is hard because I was critiquing myself to make it better each time I didn’t like something. The coloring was difficult too because all the colors had to be different yet go together without clashing.
In our slice we needed to use at least one circle, ellipse, hyperbola, and parabola. I used one of each in my piece of art. The equations that I used in my art piece are the following:
My piece of art is just a small part of a whole picture. I am very happy with my final result because I think it turned out nicely. Once all the slices of every person are put together the final result is going to be astonishing. I did the best I could on my piece and it looks realistic as possible. I can’t wait to see every slice together to form the whole picture.

Learning Outcome
This project should fall under content literacy and work ethic. Our time was limited during the project so work ethic was very important in this class. Also we had to learn the content as well. We had to make sure we knew how to work Geogebra and we had to know certain formulas for the equations.
