Have you ever wondered how math and art are related? Are the pictures above artistic representations or mathematical patterns? Would you believe they are both? Well, you should!
During this activity you will see math as practical, visual, and artistic. You will explore mathematical sequences and apply them to natural patterns. Upon completion, you will have written a tribute to the work of Fibonacci, an important mathematician, and will have created artwork of your own using the mathematical sequence that he discovered.
