ACTIVITY: ART WITH MATHS

If you really want to see the difference of math in the


art, you can simply see it by doing it by yourself. For
this you can make 3D Paper Cone Drawing. In this
activity you can simply see the use of geometry, you
can create an illusion for your eye pretending the
image is 3D. So to do this you simply need to go for
the steps as;

Six straight lines that intersect at the same spot,


were drawn ahead of time on 80# 10×10″ paper for
each student with a ruler; Creating 12 “slices” in
total. Then you can draw a series of concentric
curved lines alternating the direction of the curve
within each “slice”. Once finished with that step, you
can label every OTHER slice with a “B” lightly in
pencil, to mark that space as black.

And as a result of this you would end up as this art


piece below where you can change the number of
triangles.
