THE END OF A TRIP ...
THE BEGINNING OF CREATION!

This concludes your fantastic journey to the heart of the mathematical and artistic universes. We hope that this creative meeting will serve as a source of inspiration for you to imagine new works and guide your students on the path of creation.

THAT YOUR MATHEMATICAL GENIUS
MEET YOUR ARTISTIC GENIUS!

SUMMARY OF THE FILE

INTRODUCTION

• The links between mathematics and the visual arts
• Overview
• Proposal

MATHEMATICS AS A TOOL TO SUPPORT CREATION

• Very useful mathematical tools
  • Perspective
  • The lines of composition
  • The proportions and the golden ratio
  • Symmetry and asymmetry
  • Geometric transformations
  • Algorithms and mathematical formulas
  • Ranking strategies

• Examples of avenues of exploration
  • Storage art

MATHEMATICS AS A SUBJECT OF CREATION

• Abstract art with a geometric flavor
  • Abstraction: Homage to Kandinsky
  • Abstraction: The circle in all its forms
  • Optical art: Homage to Vasarely

• Figurative art with a mathematical flavor
  • Mathematical photography

OTHER CREATIVE IDEAS

• The spreadsheet
• The story with a mathematical flavor
• Illustrations using geometric shapes
