Since it’s the last post for module one, I will be telling you 5 fun facts about fashion design.

1. The first fashion magazine was published in Germany in 1586.

2. Evidence for the first clothes dates somewhere between 100,000 to 500,000 years ago.

3. Men’s shirts button on the right, and women’s on the left.

4. The four major fashion capitals of the world are New York, London, Milan, and Paris.  Each city holds fashion shows twice, in February and September.

5. The five most common clothing materials are linen, cotton, polyester, and rayon. Cotton is the most widely used clothing material, but it only became common in mid 1800 s, when Eli Whitney’s cotton gin made it easy to separate the cotton fibers from the seeds.

What is textile math?

The mathematics in textile is known as textile mathematics. The ideas have been used as inspiration for a number of fiber arts including quilting, knitting, cross-stitch, crocheting, embroidery and weaving and spinning. A wide range of mathematical concepts have been used for it. Some techniques such as counted-thread embroidery are naturally geometrical,. Other kinds of textile has a meaning for the colorful physical expression in mathematical concepts. In textile, spinning, weaving, knitting, embroidery and fashion designing is done with the help of textile mathematics.

Module 2 Post 1 (Shooting Angle Video)

In this video it shows a boy doing this exact same thing as a science fair project. He sets up tape and cones too show different angles. It shows us his results and how to do it properly. I think this will help to proceed with our project and how we are going to go about it. As well as giving us results to compare our results to.

Module One Post Eight (Dance Related to Math)

This website talks about angles, musicality, and balance in dance. Dancers must know how high to lift their leg, this is determined in degrees. Their legs are lifted at 45 degrees, 90 degrees and higher. Dancers must also know how to transfer their weight in order to maintain balance. Dancers must also have the ability to memorize movements and counts, as well as on what counts to perform. This site also gives great explanations as to why they think these forms of math are useful to dancers.

This site was useful because not only did it have good information, it also gave great explanations as to why they think these forms of math are useful to dancers. This site also explained angles which was helpful since other sites didn’t give much information on it.

This website shows a picture of the angle in a free throw line. This is very important because free throw line is pretty hard to shoot because you can’t jump and if you jump that doesn’t count as a point so the way you do it is you need to have more power and force to reach the hoop.

This helps me because it’s important to know how hard is the free throw line and by doing that you need to have a greater angle to shoot.

This website shows that if you were taller like an actually basketball player than you might have an different angle and same as shorter person. If you shoot faster with the ball then mostly your angle will be 45 degree because that is probably the average.

This helps me because it’s important to remember your shooting skill to keep your score go up, not down. If you are short make sure you go closer to the hoop and shoot because than will give you more chance to score with your angle but tall person are way more different.

Module Two Post Five ( 2 point perspective making prisms)

In this website, it has a slideshow provided. I prefer you check that out instead of what is written since the writing does not make much sense without diagrams to backup the points. The slideshow shows how drawings used to create prisms are used with 2 point perspective. Once the drawings made by this perspective technique, you can start to label each side in units so that you can  calculate surface area and volume.

So to sum up what I just described, 2 point perspective can be used to create prisms that our class used in the unit we just covered, surface area and volume. Obviously, the way this type of perspective drawing is used has math sewn into the process. Not to mention 2 point perspective has lots of uses: for art and math.

This website shows what is the angle of your arm when you shoot. The more you are on the right angle the better your shooting becomes and even if you bend too. 45 degree is a greater angle because it go in a smooth shot when you shoot.

This helps me because angle is a big important thing to shoot the ball in the hoop. Angle have a great force to shoot and the more you are bending the better you shoot.
