Unleash the artistic side of math with this engaging program for Grades 6-8! Delve into how artists apply mathematical concepts in their art, from sculptures to wall art, exploring scale, ratio, perspective, symmetry, and proportions. Let students witness math in action in our galleries, turning them into a math laboratory. Correlated with North Carolina Common Core and Essential Standards, this program covers a range of math and visual arts concepts, enhancing English language arts skills as well. Pre-Visit Key Questions prompt students to explore basic shapes, lines, and artistic effects, while Post-Visit Key Questions encourage reflecting on favorite artworks and how math influences artistic creation.

“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!

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.)
Twin Figures (Ere Ibeji)(Nigerian (Yoruba), late 19th century)

Bernardino Lanino, Madonna and Child Enthroned with Saints and Donors(Italian, 1552)
Post-Visit Key Questions: • Did you have a favorite work of art from the works you saw today? If so, what made it your favorite? • What are some ways artists use math and mathematical concepts in creating works of art?
