Arts/Math Integration Project
Got Math Art Journal?Overview | Objectives | CRM | Sample Procedures | Resources
OVERVIEW
“Got Math Art Journal?” will allow the student in a math or art class to create a journal that will include math concepts and art work. This will be an introduction to two art elements, line and shape. The project is based on 10 journal entry lessons which provide instruction in specific art concepts and math skills.
The use of art journals is used by artists as meaningful expressions of ideas, concepts and insights. These lessons will engage students in the artistic process of journaling (writing and illustrations) with Algebra 2 as an integrated method of note taking while learning art concepts. These lessons are linked to the Math College Readiness Standards. Specifically, students will be asked to solve various types of equations and inequalities numerically, graphically, and algebraically; interpret solutions algebraically and in the context of the problem; distinguish between exact and approximate answers and express these equations in their art journals.
Students will complete the 10 entries in the Math Art Journal as measured by achieving a score of 3 or 4 on the visual art CBPAs.
- Procedures for specific instruction are identified in each of the 10 developed lessons plans which represent the following entries.
- Blind contour drawing or continuous contour line drawing
- Adding detail to the blind/continuous contour line drawing
- Drawing a visual of the history of numbers
- Geometric or organic shapes are created when a line meets
- Introducing primary colors
- Introducing secondary colors
- Picture graphing
- Basic graph forms
- Looking at art – write and equation
- Geometric series
