Art and Math

Art and Math may at first seem to be very differing things, but there are many exciting ways they overlap. In this session, we will discuss key math concepts present in everyday art activities. Participants will explore symmetry, geometry, and measurement involved in creating beautiful art. As well as art with graphs and grids, angles, patterns, number recognition and much more.
Activities and resources will include options for ages 0-5.
