Algorithmic Art - Benchmark 2

Instructions: 
You will present the individual work you've done to the rest of your group on 10/26 or 10/27. You will explain the math concepts which you are showcasing and the steps you took to create your art as a group and turn in your artist statements. Once every member in your group has presented, your group will then discuss ways that you can combine your ideas to create one cohesive piece of mathematical art. It is important to keep in mind that each group member's contribution should be evident in the final product. Once you have your idea, your group will create a physical model of your art that will be showcased on event night.

Artist Statement
Write a summary of the following:
What is the title of your group's piece?
What style of artwork is your tessellation piece based off of/related to?
Use google to search art styles and make connections between the art style and what you made. (tessellation art is not an answer)
Why did you choose that style?
How does that style tie into your group’s exhibit piece?
What was your beginning shape and what mathematical strategies did you do to the shape to complete your tessellation?
Explain step-by-step:
the starting shape, 
what you did to get the shape you have now,
did you make edits to it to make it fit correctly,
did it fit the first time, 
Do you have to add color and texture to the shape to make it the object or is the cutting exactly the shape of your idea?
What message are you hoping to convey to the audience with your piece? 
Do you have to color and shade most of the tessellation tile to make your image seen? explain.
Were you inspired by anything to create this piece?
How does your piece contribute to the group presentation?

Present your ideas to your groupmates. You should discuss:
What kind of art were you trying to create? Is it an abstract geometric pattern or a recreation of something physical (a person, an object, a landscape?)
What mathematical objects did you use? How did you transform the objects to fit the shapes you needed?
Is there anything you tried to do that was too difficult or would not work?
Is there anything more that you want to do with your piece? Do any of your group mates have ideas that could improve your concept or take it in an interesting direction?
What type of media are you going to need or use to present your final exhibit project to the community?

Present your group discussion to the class: 
Each individual person:
What is the title of your group's piece?
What style of artwork is your tessellation piece based off of/related to?
Use google to search art styles and make connections between the art style and what you made. (tessellation art is not an answer)
Why did you choose that style?
How does that style tie into your group’s exhibit piece?

These are the questions for the next step in Benchmark 3. After groups presented their artist statements and their group work, then you may continue into these nest steps below:

Now your group will begin developing its final product. In your discussion, be sure to consider:
How can your group bring each individual’s separate ideas into one cohesive product? 
Do any of your group members have similar ideas which can be combined and then expanded upon?
Does each group member have a contribution in the piece which they can talk about during your art night presentation?
How is your group going to physically showcase this piece on the event night?
