Discovering the Art of Mathematics

Are you creative? Do you like art? Do you also love math? In the Discovering the Art of Mathematics course, students will use mathematical concepts and ideas as a basis for creative expression through individual and collaborative art. We will explore concepts around shape, patterns, proportions, scaling and symmetry by taking field trips in the local community the local community and use public art to investigate the connections between art and math. Students will leave with original artwork and an appreciation of how art and math connect in our world.
