Description

Many artistic endeavors require a thorough knowledge and understanding of mathematics, which frequently forms the foundation for creative expression. Visual artists must evaluate dimensions, balance, design and center of gravity and balance; musicians analyze chord inversions and calculate fractions of rhythm and meter; choreographers organize beats into recurring groups and add movement; architects design with the mathematics of engineering. The learners involved in this activity will be engaged in the interpretation of poetry by adding music, movement, visual art and drama. After performing their creation, learners will discuss mathematical and/or scientific connections where applicable which have a natural fit in this learning experience.
