Getting Creativewith Math & Graphic Design Presented by: Linda Lyons, Colorado State University
Approaches • multimodalproblem solving ’patterning’noveltyemotionalconnects ideas • Role of Arts • engagingcuingstimuluscontextualattention training • Integrated Curriculum • * Math, Science • * Music, Visual Art, CTE • Uses multiple entry points, aka ‘windows into the room’ (Gardner, 1996)
1. Inquiry: promote deeper thinking, reflection, and refined understanding of concepts; • 2. Relevance and Application: real-world, contextual examples; • 3. Social and Personal: collaboration, interactive communication, teaming.
Graphic Arts / Math • Ratios • Sequences • Graphing • Algebraic Equations • Patterns • Spatial relationships • Graphic Arts/ Science • Inquiry • Genetics • Atomic structures • Living systems • Depth of perception

Competitive Event - Castle Ballistics • Students demonstrate ability to design and construct a ballistic device to hit a target within a 36’ x 36’ area. • Device may be trebuchet, ballista, or catapult. It must: • include sketch • include firing log, calibration table • include calculations of time, angle, distance, initial velocity • max size – 24” H x 24” W x 24” L • have launch load 80-90 grams (hacky sack) Colorado State Standards – Science – Grade 8 Observe, explain, and predict natural phenomena governed by Newton's laws of motion, acknowledging the limitations of their application to very small or very fast objects
