Date: Saturday 19th November 2022

Time: 10:30am.

Venue: B 4.3 The University of Manchester Ellen Wilkinson Building.

We will reflect on how mathematics can be creative and inspire and be inspired by art. We will investigate how mathematics and art are related in a variety of ways. Mathematics has itself been described as an art motivated by beauty. Mathematics can be discerned in arts such as music, dance, painting, architecture, sculpture, and textiles.

In this session we will focus in particular on the visual arts. We will demonstrate some engaging activities that we believe will inspire learners.  Participants are encouraged to share their reflections and to bring any of their own activities to share.
