"Words of Wisdom" tea paragraph
At Animas High School we have a commitment to a culture of excellence. This means about what you'd expect it to. Personally, this is what I do to promote the environment here. Apologizing, I can (I hope) usually recognize when I've done something wrong, or hurt somebody's feelings. When I do, I always try to make sure the affected person knows I'm sorry, and I try to make it right with them. Also, another feature that I believe is shared with everyone here is the willingness to do all of the work, and to do good work, too. It's surprising to me, in a good way, to see that everyone does their best to do great work. I've never seen anybody purposely blow off an assignment, no matter the reason. I believe this willingness to work is a major feature of this culture of excellence. This is a trait that I proudly share.
Trigonometry Application
In this Lab we studied external applications of trigonometry by analyzing many examples of angles of elevation outside of the classroom.
Note: h-5.6 should say h+5.6
These are the equations we used to verify the angles of elevation from both measured angles per object.
Rock Spire:
tan18=H/XH=Xtan18
H=xtan18
tan16=H/x+99
H=tan16(X+99)
H=Xtan16+99tan16
Xtan18=xtan16+99tan16
Xtan18-xtan16=99tan18
X(tan18-tan16)=99tan16
X=99tan16/tan18-tan16

tan20=H/X
H=Xtan20
tan18=H/X+96
H=tan18(X+97)
H=xtan18+97tan18

xtan20-xtan18=97tan18
X=97tan18/(tan20-tan18)
H=Xtan20
H=97tan18(tan20)/tan20-tan18

My Anamorphic 3d drawing project
Writeup
In my own words, an anamorphic drawing is not a drawing at all- it is much more than that. To be anamorphic is to find joy in perspective. To obsess, to find the one single way to make what should not be possible, possible.
In plain English that means: The creation of what is seemingly a three dimensional drawing from a single perspective.
Julian Beever, an anamorphic street artist has many great examples of this you can see them here: http://www.julianbeever.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=14
While Julian uses chalk to accomplish his sidewalk art, my group and I used paper as our medium. As a result we used vastly different materials, such as pencils, and charcoal to use for shading and sketching. To create the perspective that we needed we first drew a reversed version of our target image on a glass pane. The purpose of this was to project our image onto our poster. Most of our group, contributed to this each sharing their perspectives while looking through the glass. We used a laser pointer to mark specific points, and then connected the dots. We filled in arches, curves and lines wherever necessary to create the product you see today
As I previously mentioned, in the copying of our image onto our projection pane, the image was reflected, albeit accidentally, that was my fault. Thus the image is, more or less a reflection of the actual target picture.
Our group also ran into significant trouble in the projection of our perspectives. On the first day, Duncan created the perspective for us to follow, however on the second day I had to do it because he couldn’t locate the perspective he had used yesterday. So I did it; it didn’t turn out very well, because I mostly eyeballed it. So, as a result, on the final day of the project, Brittney Ketchun volunteered to help our bridge actually look like a bridge. If not for her, our anamorphic drawing would really look terrible.
