Module 4

Maths in Art and architecture, in sport and music (November 19th-20th)

I like that sentence:
If we consider that math is really a set of specific, ordered patterns, and that many pieces of art also use specific ordered patterns, we can see that math and art can easily fit together.

That's why I like to work not only on STEM but on STEAM:)


Proposals of activities: 
Op Art
Op art, short for optical art, is a style of visual art that uses optical illusions. Op art works are abstract, with many better known pieces created in black and white. Typically, they give the viewer the impression of movement, hidden images, flashing and vibrating patterns, or of swelling or warping.

10 Amazing Examples of Architecture Inspired by Mathematics
 Music is a field of study that has an obvious relationship to mathematics.Students can discover that patterns in music that relate to the Fibonacci Sequence and explain some ways that this sequence appears in music or learn how to solve music and math problems by finding patterns:

TASK 4:
Have you used Math activities/projects showing Maths in Art, architecture, in sport or music with your students? How did they go? What did they learn from implementing them? Share them (including links or photos, if you have some.

  • A few years ago I realized eTwinning project "Let's discover Maths in Abstract Art". Working with the French partners we learnt about 2D and 3D shapes. We worked in the ICT classroom using Geogebra and other softwares to make pupils build some personalized geometrical "works of art". We organized drawing contest about Abstract Art : pupils create their own work of Art, inspired by the ones we have studied together.


 Pupils got to know Abstract art and artists. They saw works of art made by Wassily Kandinsky, Jasper Johns, Piet Mondrian and Victor Vasarely. We organized drawing contest about Abstract Art : pupils create their own work of Art, inspired by the ones we have studied together. My students'works:


 
  • Working on eTwinning project TRIANGLES ARE EVERYWHERE we learnt about 2d shapes. In some activities our students were looking for trianges in our environment. Later they created own art work using triangles. Students were looking for triangles in music, art, architecture and science.
 
  • We made some work - we called it  "MATHS UNDER OUR FEET". Pupils from Poland were building various polygons. Students were drawing their own tesselations and they were looking for some tesselations under their feet by taking photos.  We also used internet to make some tangram shapes.
