TEACHING GEOMETRY AND PAINTING: A PATH TO INTEGRATING ART AND MATHEMATICS

Eleftheria Tsiouri

Abstract


As a case study, this paper looks at how teaching geometry and painting can bring together art and math, pointing out the educational benefits of this method. Students make their own art in the geometric style of artists like Piet Mondrian, which helps them learn more about geometric qualities and how to think about space. This way not only helps students remember concepts, but it also sparks their imaginations, showing them that math can be used to express themselves and find new things. The study focuses on the effects on educational results, pointing out that students learn critical thinking skills that are necessary to solve difficult problems in the real world. By connecting what students learn in the classroom with real-world applications, teachers can help students appreciate math for a lifetime and see how it applies to their lives. Using artistic interpretation to learn math principles makes abstract ideas more concrete, which keeps students interested and helps them remember what they've learned. The paper also talks about how important it is for students to be able to work together on geometric projects and try new things in a collaborative learning setting. This method helps students learn how to solve problems and encourages them to learn more about geometry outside of school. Ultimately, combining math and art makes for a more complete learning experience that lets students show their thoughts clearly, connecting the worlds of logical thinking and creative exploration. Through this new way of teaching, the paper calls for a fresh look at math as a lively language that combines creative and analytical thought, getting students ready for the challenges they will face in a world that is always connected.
