The goal of this project is to stady connections between mathematics and art and architecture.We would like to show how mathematics is not just about formulas and logic, but about patterns, symmetry, structure, shape and beauty. We will study topics like Painting, Pyramids, The Golden Ratio,The Platonic Solids and Polyhedra, Perspective, Kaleidoscopes, Symmetry, Patterns and Tilings, Mazes and Labyrinths, music and ect After taking this project our students/pupils will look at the world with new eyes and notice mathematical structures around them.

Gallery of 3D Solids
Posted by: Jolanta Grzywnowicz
POLYHEDRA HAVE BEENSTUDIED BY GEOMETERS FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS. TROUGH HISTORY , POLYHEDRA HAVE BEEN CLOSELY ASSOCIATED WITH THE WORLD ART. THE PEAK OF THIS RELATIONSHIP WAS CERTAINLY IN THE RENAISSANCE. LEONARDO DA VINCI WAS THE MAJOR RENAISSANCE MAN: ARTIST,MATHEMATICIAN. HE WAS AGREAT LOVER OF GEOMETRY. LEONARDO DA VINCI’SILLUSTRATIONS SYMBOLIZE THE ROLE OF GEOMETRY IN ARCHITECTURE.
Our new activity is to create the gallery of artistic 3D solids with using computer program "Poly".
