Line Art | Maths

I created some art called line art. I created line art using straight lines to make one big curve shape

I decided to make one big star in the middle and a few stars around the big star. First I drew the vertical axis and numbered it from 1 - 10. Next I drew the horizontal axis and also numbered it from 1 - 10. My big star turned out great so then I moved onto doing the little stars around it.

Next I Created two little stars and one medium sized star. First I started off with the medium sized star. First I drew the axes and numbered them 1 - 10. I drew a 12 x 12 plus sign and started ruling on the lines to make the curve shape. 

To finish up I finished off by making the three little stars and two more medium sized stars. I started off with the two little stars. I drew the grid for it and the axes vertically and horizontally and numbered it. Next I drew the last two stars. I did the same process except I drew it a little bigger. 

I learned a lot about how to draw line art and that they make some illusions.  

Comment Thread

I did a comment thread with Sahil. Comment thread is a creating a conversation with the other person about some work they have done.

Heres an example of me and Sahils comment thread:

Mobile Puzzles | Maths

I created two different types of mobile puzzles.

Mobile puzzles are when you use different types of shapes to make a number or both sides are the same number.

For example: the number im adding up to is 32. The shapes im using are circles and triangles, so half of 32 is 16 which means that there are 4 circles and two triangles because 4 circles are worth 4 and triangles are worth 8. So both of them add up to make 32.

The second example is when both sides are worth the same amount and not adding up to anything. For example: both sides are worth 80, so the first side has two trapiziums and one heart. The heart is worth 20 and the trapizuim is worth 30.

The second side has two squares and one circle. The two squares are worth 10 each and the one circle is worth 60. So both sides add up to 80.

I need to make more harder ones for my teachers so there is more math that they need to do.

Line Art | Maths

I created a maths art called line art.

Line art is is a kind of art which a bunch of straight lines that makes up to one curve line. You will need a ruler and a pencil so you can make the lines look straight.

You need to connect the lines together which is called the intersection. The intersection means one thing meets another like the lines.

Next time I need to draw straighter axis with a ruler.

Here is an example of what my line art looks like:
