Grand Ballroom F (Hyatt)
Lead Speaker:
Thomas E. Gilsdorf


We will discuss results of interviews I conducted regarding math and art, using questions such as "How do you create symmetry patterns?" and "How has school math helped you in learning to make your art?" We will also discuss how you can use examples of artwork to teach concepts such as symmetry and the cultural aspects of art and mathematics.
