  1. “Making Math Artistic” Recommended for Grades 6-8: Discover the creative ways artists apply mathematical concepts in their works of art. From three-dimensional sculpture to two-dimensional works on the wall, students will explore ideas of scale, ratio, perspective, symmetry, and proportion. Let our galleries be a math laboratory where students can see math concepts at work!

  3. Pre-Visit Key Questions: • What are some of the basic shapes and lines that all artists can use in works of art? (Think: what geometric shapes can you find in a painting? What kinds of lines - parallel, perpendicular, horizonal, veritcal, etc… -? • What can be the effect of playing with forms and proportions? (Think: if an artist uses all diagonal lines vs. flat horizontal lines. Or, if an artist exaggerates a figure’s features - ie: a larger head, or longer torso.)
