Making Math an Art Form


Most people think Art and Math are polar opposites, and why is it that students love Art class and “hate” math?  Art is considered creative where math is concrete right?  We need to change the mindset and show math for the art form that it is, both subjects use symbolism to create a desired result. Just like art, there are also many different ways to do math.  We need to make math equally as fun and beautiful in order to engage more students.
Take a look at the following site where high school students created mosaics to represent mathematical concepts found in nature.  Patterns and symmetry, symbolism and geometry. The possibilities are endless!
