Geometry Through Art

The rules of geometry have helped to express human creativity and ingenuity from the tessellations of mosaic floors to the architecture of Renaissance masters. Students will learn how to prove basic geometric theorems, investigate these principles in works of art, and create their own examples. Topics include applications of polygons, tessellations, linear perspective, vanishing points, mandalas, and more. This course is a five week workshop, running from March 2nd-30th. It will also include 1-2 trips to the Worcester Art Museum on alternate days.
