A few weeks ago I had my Geometry students work with some Fractal generating software in which they input numbers for transformations of rotation, reduction and translation and the applet produces a fractal image. They have also had fun coloring them in with Microsoft Paint.
As a way to encourage them to make more than the minimum five, I made a little contest and asked the teachers here at school to help and just take a few minutes of their time to look at the images and vote on their favorites.
They are, however, as most teacher are, overburdened with work and as such I got few responses. As such, I am asking you, my friends of the type 1 community, to add your input, providing me a way to determine the creme of the crop.
If you would be so kind, take some time and look over each image in the school's gallery at
http://www.invisiblegold.com/math/20042005thegilbert/1.) Choose 3 images(not just gallery names or artists). Rank these as your first, second, and third choice for favorite image.
-Mostly all the images were created with an IFS program. The exception is the first rows of bioskiash's gallery. These were created using a program called Fractal Explorer. These first 4 images are NOT part of the contest. Additionally, those listed under the gallery MR. R and DRW are those created by myself and the website's owner. These are also not part of the contest.
2.) Reply here with the 3 choices that you most like. List the Gallery name AND the particular fractal name.(If you click on the thumbnail image you will see a larger image with the name underneath it).
Thanks in advance for any time you spend enjoying the student's hard work.
