Im no good at math.
Im more of an artist.
It always rubs me the wrong way when someone says this.
There is no reason someone cant be good at both art and math.
In fact art can be a great way to teach math.
You canvisually represent multiplicationor use aphysical model that represents calculus.Playing around with geometric shapesmakes a great art project.
Materials:
Begin by finding the mid-point of your drawing.
Then pick two points equidistant on either side and push the pins through the cardstock.
These will be the foci of your ellipse.
Draw the ellipse using the the rubber band as a guide.
How could you represent a solar system?
The differences that can be expressed through the ellipse amazing.
I hope your artistic learners will agree.
