Today, we are going to talk about a very interesting topic: the connections between Art and Geometry. Art and Geometry have always been related: we can see it, for example, in "the golden number"or in palaces such as "Alhambra", and many paintors have always played with figures, shapes and planes to create certain perspectives or ilussions, such as M. C. Escher.
Therefore, we can use Art to introduce Geometry to our students, as a way of motivating them. Art gives children the possibility of expressing themselves and we can use that to make them play with geometrical elements.
- For example, I have found a great didactic proposal (https://aprendiendomatematicas.com/geometria-y-arte/) that we can bring to the classroom, which is based on Kandinsky's pieces of art. Kandinsky, who you can see in the picture at right, was a paintor that played with geometrical forms in all his paintings.
- In class, we can select several paintings in which a specific geometric figure appear, and then comment it with our students. After analysing the piece of art, children would be able to create their own painting, with one condition: the basis of the paiting has to be the one that Kandinsky used.
- Through this activity, children would be experimenting different ways of representing Geometry, and they will see their classmates' creations. I personally think that interdisciplinary activities in which we mix several areas are beneficial for the students!
What do you think about these ideas?
