For our final project, we had to create a self portrait on Desmos. For my nose I chose to use ellipses and a hyperbola. I used ellipses because I wanted to create an oval shape for my nostrils and tip of my nose, and I used a hyperbola to create an arch shape for the bridge of my nose. For my eyes I used circles and parabolas. I needed circles for the round shape of my pupils and iris, and I used parabolas for my eyelashes and eyelids. Lastly, I needed to use sine equations to create a wave effect for my curly hair. I struggled with getting the graph to be at an angle for the top of my hair. But I managed to problem solve and make it work.
