Maths in Art

 

In the first week, the pupils looked at the work of Kenneth Noland.  He creates large-scale, square canvases of concentric circles, in bold, flat colours. They then used a pair of compasses to make each of their circles.

 



In the second week, they looked at the work of Escher.  He uses symmetry and tessellating shapes to create his pictures. They used a tessellating shape to create our designs.






In the third week, they looked at the work of Barbara Hepworth. She used string in a very clever way in her sculptures. She appears to make curved lines with pieces of straight string. They used sewing skills to create parabolic curves.
