Anamorphic Art

In this unique interdisciplinary activity, students use science, math, and art skills to create a drawing on a curved grid. The coordinates used for the drawing on the curved grid are the same as they would be for a square grid. This anamorphic drawing appears distorted from the original and can be difficult to recognize... until it is viewed with a cylindrical mirror! A recognizable image "magically" appears when science, math, and art are mixed together.
