One of our favourite mathematical art activities, Curves of Pursuit, is found at the Artful Maths website. Coloured pencils, a ruler and a piece of paper is all that is required to make beautiful mathy artwork!
Clarissa Grandi, @c0mplexnumber, has created a gorgeous website with a collection of wonderful ways to connect mathematics and art. The activities in these mathematical art lessons will help to reinforce many important mathematical skills such as accurate measuring and constructing, visual problem solving and strategic forward planning.
CEMC at Home was developed in 2020 to support teachers, students and parents during the COVID-19 pandemic. It includes materials at each of four grade band levels: Grade 4 to 6, Grade 7/8, Grade 9/10 and Grade 11/12. The resources include things like games and new problems to solve. Additionally, there are resources for combining math and art. Exploring tessellations can only lead to exploring the fascinating works of m.c. escher.
Math Art Challenges, created by Annie Perkins, is a great place to find ideas. Some activities are advanced, but most are accessible to all.
The image shown here is from Annie's blog, called arbitrarilyclose. This is a submission for the Mondrian Math Art Puzzle for Day 16.
