Graphing Musical Instruments with Desmos: An Artistic Expression

Every year, math enthusiasts from around the world come together to showcase their creativity through our Global Math Art Contest. This highly anticipated event encourages participants to push the boundaries of mathematics and art by creating stunning visualizations that blend these two seemingly disparate disciplines.

This year's contest has officially begun! Whether you're a seasoned Desmos user or new to graphing, we invite everyone to participate in this exciting opportunity to express themselves through mathematical expressions. The theme for 2024 is 'Graphing Musical Instruments,' and the possibilities are truly endless!

To get started, simply log into your Desmath account (or create one if you haven't already) and head over to our contest page. From there, click on the 'Submit Your Graph' button at the top right corner of the screen.

Here's what we're looking for:

1. Creativity: Think outside-the-box when it comes to graphing musical instruments! Use Desmos' robust set of functions (like sin(), cos(), and tan()) combined with its intuitive interface to create something truly unique.

2. Originality: We want to see graphs that haven't been done before - or at least, not in this way!

3. Attention to detail: The smallest details can make all the difference between a good graph and an amazing one.

When submitting your entry(ies), please include a brief description (known as an artist statement) explaining what inspired you to create it/them. This will give our judges valuable context when reviewing each submission.

And don't forget - there are some great prizes up for grabs! Our judging panel consists of experienced math educators and artists who will carefully review every entry based on creativity, originality, attention-to-detail, and overall impact.

So grab your favorite instrument (real or virtual), fire up Desmos, and let the graphing begin!
