Art and Mathematics compliment each other in many interesting ways. The following list is a general overview of some of the ways that these subjects can intersect; feel free to use the posted images to fit your tour or classroom purposes. See specific topics for related activities and instructional possibilities.  

Geometry: 

1. 2D and 3D shape recognition

2. Platonic solids and polyhedrons

3. Architecture, arches, and parabolas

Mapping: 

1. Identifying axis and coordinates

2. Interpreting and comparing data

Pattern: 

1. Identifying and creating repetition

2. Matrix and computing: weaving

Perspective: 

1. Recognizing distance and scale

2. One-point perspective: orthogonals and horizon line

3. Multi-point perspective and slope calculation

Proportion and Ratio: 

1. Fractions: divide objects into parts

2. Trigonometry: calculate the size based on ratio

3. Golden Section

4. Canon of Proportion and representing the human figure

Symmetry: 

1. Asymmetry vs. Symmetry: find the axis

2. Radial and biaxial symmetry

3. Rotational symmetry and transformations in the plane
