Graphic Design using Cartesian Geometric Transformation Based STEM Education

摘要

This paper presents the use of STEM education concept of the research in mathematics for textile design, where firstly the nature of the problem is proposed by using the scientific concept, then the technology is formed in terms of a graphic design, the mathematic concern is interpreted, finally, the use of the design is used to form the pattern for engineering usage, where the Geometer’s Sketchpad (GSP) is a tool to design artworks fromCartesian coordinate products. The simple mathematic formation is given and described. The objective of this work is the use of the STEM technique for graphics design based on the Cartesian geometric transformation. The obtained result has shown that the Cartesian product is set in the square, converging segment, the Kaleidoscopic and circular gridsby using the geometric transformations, which are rotation, reflection and translation. By using the GSP scan for modifying the grid size, color and pattern, the created geographic figures and many more beautiful patterns can be obtained for the required applications.
