NAME _______________________________________________________ DATE _____________________________________ REAL-WORLD APPLICATIONS STUDENT ACTIVITY for Transparency 9 Use with Lesson 9-6. About Frames and Art The best way to preserve a work of art is to frame it properly. As the artist Edgar Degas said, “The frame is the reward for the artist.” The style of the frame for a picture or portrait not only preserves the work of art, but also accentuates its beauty and value. The large portraits done in oil during the 18th and 19th centuries typically had ornate, gilded frames. The same style of frame was also used during the Impressionist period in the late 1800s. Oil and acrylic paintings are simply framed without any glass or matting so that the canvas they are painted on can breath. Other artwork including drawings, sketches, and photographs are often framed with mats and glass. The size of the frame is the dimensions of the frame on the art and matting, not the length or width of the frame itself. Frames and mats are produced in a variety of sizes, styles, and colors and are combined to enhance the beauty of the piece of art they “frame.” Directions: Use what you have seen and read to answer the following questions. 1. If you have selected a frame from the list so that you may display a photograph with an area of 320 square inches, what are the dimensions of the frame? 16 inches by 20 inches 2. If a mat with dimensions 9 by 12 is used with a picture that is 6 by 9, what is the total area taken up by the mat? Explain your answer. Subtract the area of the picture from the total area; 108 in2 54 in2 54 in2 . 3. Degas’ The Dance Class measures 65 by 81 centimeters. If you frame it with a mat of width m centimeters all around it, write an expression for the total area of the framed space. (65 2m)(81 2m) or 5265 292m 4m 2 cm2 4. A common framing practice is to make a mat with 2 inches between the artwork and the frame on each side. If the total area of a square frame is 225 square inches, what is the display area of the artwork? The display area is 121 square inches. Making the Connection 5. Conduct research to find the sizes of various works by a famous artist. Find the perimeter and area of the works you researched. See students’ work. © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill T9 Glencoe Algebra 1
NAME _______________________________________________________ DATE _____________________________________ REAL-WORLD APPLICATIONS STUDENT ACTIVITY for Transparency 10 Use with Lesson 10-6. About Per Capita Personal Income Many statistics are generated about the income of workers in the United States. One important statistic is the per capita personal income. Per capita is an expression that means “for each individual.” The per capita personal income of workers is spent in a variety of ways. The income that remains after taxes is known as disposable income, money that may be spent or saved. In 2000, workers spent 12% of their disposable income on durable goods, 29% on non-durable goods, and 56% on services. Durable goods are manufactured items that are expected to last a long time such as automobiles and kitchen appliances. Nondurable goods are short lived and include items such as paper products, groceries, and petroleum products. Services include such things as haircuts, dry cleaning, and medical care. Directions: Use what you have seen and read to answer the following questions. 1. In dollars, the per capita income of which state increased the most? The least? 2. In percent, what was the increase in per capita income in your home state? What was the national percent increase? 3. Estimate the per capita income of your state for the year 2010. Explain how your estimate was generated. 4. For a 10-year period, would you expect an increase or a decrease in per capita income? Explain your answer. Making the Connection 5. Research what percent of the disposable per capita personal income earned by U.S. workers is saved. Speculate on the amount of money you may need to save for certain events in your future. Write a short paper explaining why it is important to put aside a set amount of earnings in a savings plan. © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill 10 Glencoe Algebra 1
