I can understand how math and technology can be seen and used in art.
I can look at art in different ways and respond and collaboratively share my interpretations with my classmates. br />I can apply my knowledge of facial proportions and the coordinate plane to render a realistic portrait of myself and others. |

Students will visit the New Britain Museum of American Art for a docent-led tour and hands-on studio activity that will explore how math is evident in many artworks, as well as an integral part of the art making process. The "Math-terpieces" tour will visit a variety of artworks in the Museum"s collection that clearly demonstrate how artists have used math and technology throughout history and cultures to aid in the creation of their work.
Math topics to be explored could include: fractions, coordinate planes, point plotting, symmetry, polygons, 2D & 3D shapes, formulas, and measurement. Interactive demonstrations will be provided, as well as a guided art making activity utilizing point plotting where students will render their own faces with accurate proportions. |
