Mathematics and art are related in different ways. You can see, hear, experience math everywhere - in painting, architecture, nature, in a rhythmic melody played on an instrument, in sports dances, in the comfort of home cooking, in the shadow theater, in juggling, while playing with blocks, as well as in dreams … In works of art you can find objects that we know from math lessons: numbers, lines, points, shapes, flat and spatial figures, rhythm, symmetry, perspective, depth and even time. Mathematics is not limited to numbers and calculations, and searching for it in non-obvious places is a great development stimulus for children. Children will create their own works, observe the world around them and find math in art and art in mathematics. The book by Majungmul will be the inspiration for the project, "Pictures of mathematics. A visit to an art museum ” and Anna Weltman,“ This is not just another math book ”. The participants of the project will be students aged 6-11.
