Calculus Art Project

Calculus I, Spring 2008

Check out this "derivative" art put together by the Spring 2008 Calculus I students who had the unfortunate luck of landing in Joe Champion's course.

The Art Assignment instructions called for each student to produce a piece of art based on a randomly drawing of Mediums and Topics. Click on one of the Previews to see a Slide Show of the art.
