| Geometry 1st Quarter Project: STRING ART |
| What does Mr. G want? STEP ONE: Choose a pattern which incorporates at least 3 geometric shapes in the design. Key search words: "string art," "curve stitching." Look on the Internet and in books for ideas, but create an ORIGINAL DESIGN !!! DEADLINE ONE: Submit a paper drawing of the design WITH TITLE by Fri 21 Sep 2001. You may use blank paper or graph paper, so long as it is legible. If you intend to use different colors of string, then use colored pencils in the design plan. Make sure that shapes are labeled. DEADLINE TWO: Final string art project due Mon 08 Oct 2001. Grading scale: 70 pts - Original String Design with Title 10 pts - Design Plan 10 pts - Accuracy and Difficulty 10 pts - Creativity and Visual Appeal Specifics: Background can be made of cardboard, wood, cork, styrofoam, or other sturdy material, no smaller than 16" x 16". String should be of various colors; thin string breaks easily, thick string is hard to work with. Other supplies - pushpins, needle, hammer and nails, compass, ruler, protractor, paper. Other suggestions: if you're using wood, tie the thread to the starting point and loop around each stop, tie off at the end. If you're using something else, consider securing string to the backing with tape (use tape that won't damage backing). **** LINKS BELOW **** LINKS BELOW **** LINKS BELOW **** |
