Geogebra Sequence Graph

This is a graph of a sequence of number I chose. There are two types of sequences in math: geometric and arithmetic. This is an arithmetic sequence. An arithmetic sequence is a series of numbers where the difference of any two cosecutive numbers is constant. For this graph, I have two different sequences. In the pink colored graph, I used the trigonomic function "cosine". This is why the troughs and peaks only reach up to the number one when they wave. For the purple graph I used the trigonomic function "sine". This is why my graph or "wave" starts at the vertex or zero on the coordinate plane.The reason the arches look like fish gills is because for the common difference of the series of numbers, I chose 0.3 and 0.2. Every arch or "gill" represents the graph moving up 0.3 or 0.2 to towards the ending number of the sequence.

The Culinary Arts: An Art I Can Really Appreciate

The cullinary arts is a very different form of art. I chose this field because let's get real now...Who doesn't like food?!?! It really facinates me, how much art is put into this career field. It's an art in it's own special way. The colors, textures, sizes, shapes, and display of the food on the plate can be the determining factor whether or not someone acknowledges it and decides to sink their teeth into it! I know I wouldn't eat something that appreared disgusting!The average yearly salary varies with this career, considering there are so many different branches in the culinary art field you can be involved with! If you are an executive chef, the average yearly income is approximately $60,000-$85,000. If you decide to take become an executive pastry chef, you could be making anywhere from $46,000-$83,000 a year. The duties of a chef are pretty straight forward: Make the food yummy, and pretty, to put it in simpler terms. If something doesn't taste good, but looks good, people still will not consume your product. If your product  is yummy but doesn't look appetizing, people won't be as apt to buy your product because it doesn't look like it will satisfy their needs. To be in the cullinary arts field, you must attend cullinary school at a college or university that offers these types of programs. If you plan on being higher up the ladder and want to have a higher position in this field, such as an executive chef,  four years of cullinary school will be necessary to get the aquired skills you will need in your career. The people you work with with vary depending on the branch of cullinary arts you go into. A pastry chef just may work alone, whereas an executive chef may have a fun kitchen full of poeple to oversee! Overall, the cullinary arts a very unique and amazing career field, and contains more art than you may think! It is a career field that I would definitely consider going into if there was a higher demand for them in my home state!

Printing Project

I chose for my stamp to carve out "Pura Vida". This saying means a lot to me, especially after my life changing trip with the Spanish Club to Costa Rica this past spring break! This project wasn't my favorite but the meaning behind it means the most to me. I think it could have turned out better but the press was causing me some grief and I ended up having to manually roll the stamp onto my paper. Also, there weren't very many colors to choose from so I was limited with my selection. This project turned out nicely, though.

Vans Off the Wall Contest

These are the shoes I designed for the Vans Off the Wall Contest. I chose the theme surfing. The shoe on the right I had started, however, never finished and had another friend of mine, who I trusted to do well on them, take over for me. I drew the picture out for her on the shoe and she painted them to the best of her ability and I think she did a great job! The shoe on the left with the sunset I did all by myself. It took a long time to shade and get all the detail I wanted but I love how it turned out. I'm very proud of myself! This was my favorite project this year. It turned out the best of them all!
