Mathematics is everywhere around us—even where we least expect it! In this course, students explore the connection between mathematics and art, discovering how mathematical thinking is reflected in artistic expression across different historical periods. Through the study of colorful paintings by renowned artists and the geometry and aesthetics of ancient Greek pottery, children are introduced to key mathematical concepts in a meaningful and engaging context.

Students participate in hands-on, creative activities that involve shapes, patterns, symmetry, proportions, and color relationships. They analyze selected works of art to identify the underlying mathematical structures that organize them and then apply these concepts by creating their own artistic compositions.

The goal of the course is to help students understand that mathematics extends beyond numbers and calculations: it is a creative and culturally rich way of thinking that supports problem-solving, visual literacy, and artistic expression, while fostering an appreciation for beauty, imagination, and cultural heritage.
