Mathematical Art – Cubism

Article 29

You have the right to education which develops your personality, respect for other’s rights and the environment

We have been busy working on our mathematical artwork, which has been inspired by Cubist painters like Georges Braques, Pablo Picasso and Carlo Rossi.  We learnt that Cubist painters used lots of shapes in their paintings. Sometimes they didn’t even look much like the object they painted.

We took this opportunity to revise our knowledge of the properties of 2D (number of sides and right angles, whether the shape was regular/irregular) and 3D shapes (faces, vertices and edges).

We also used our ICT skills by using Microsoft Office Word to type up what had inspired our own paintings.

Look at some of our masterpieces, or pop in and see them in the classroom!
