Modelling
Designed and produced by the French CoI
This c-book unit demonstrates the power of the straight line as a modelling tool, in several activities; lines that rise from visual and spatial perceptions to more abstract ones. For example a colour progression as a piecewise linear function in the space of colours allows to interact with representations in order to produce interesting pieces of kinetic art. No deep mathematical prerequisites are required for having fun and reasoning mathematically with the help of this c-book unit: deconstructing how an artwork is designed and reaching an aesthetic goal through the manipulation of control points is a clear indication of CMT.
