Art through Mathematics Standards

K.G.1. Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes, and describe the relative positions of these objects using terms such as above, below, beside, in front of, behind, and next to.
Students will get to apply 2D shapes to create animals using Tangrams. Students will create variations of objects and create an art piece enhancing the objects or animals chosen.
K.G.5. Model shapes in the world by building shapes from components (e.g., sticks and clay balls) and drawing shapes.
Students will use a ruler to create triangle art emphasizing the straight edges of their art. Students will then finalize their art with chalk pastels.
G-GPE.4. Use coordinates to prove simple geometric theorems algebraically.
Students will create coordinate art and characters through plotting on graph paper and the four quadrants.
CSS.M.3b. Decompose a fraction into a sum of fractions with the same denominator in more than one way, recording each decomposition by an equation. Justify decompositions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.
Students will learn about fractions and apply this to art. Students will be able to break down their art with fractions.
2.MA:Cr1. Explore multiple ideas for media artworks through brainstorming and improvising.
Students will utilize a protractor to create a variety of different angles and brainstorm ways to enhance their art with zentangle patterns.
3.MA:Cr2. Form, share, and test ideas, plans, and/or models to prepare for media arts productions.
Students will brainstorm ideas for a scaling art project. They can preview sketches and decide what to create.
4.MA:Cr3b. Demonstrate intentional effect in refining, media artworks, emphasizing elements for a purpose.
Students will bring their art to life by using paper quilling to highlight aspects of their art. Students can emphasize color, size or patterns in their art.
1.MA:Cr3.a. Create, capture, and assemble media arts content for media arts productions, identifying basic aesthetic principles, such as pattern and repetition.
Students will create string art demonstrating parabolic patterns and colored string to enhance basic art principles.
W.5.9.MP.5. Use appropriate tools strategically.(3-5-ETS1-1),(3-5-ETS1-2),(3-5-ETS1-3).
Students in this course will be able to utilize tools such as rulers, protractors, and unifex cubes to enhance their learning.
7.EE.3. Solve multi-step real-life and mathematical problems posed with positive and negative rational numbers in any form (whole numbers, fractions, and decimals), using tools strategically. Apply properties of operations to calculate with numbers in any form; convert between forms as appropriate; and assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies.(MS-ETS1-1),(MS-ETS1-2),(MS-ETS1-3)
In the Math and Art course, students will be able to apply a variety of tools to assist them into creating aesthetic art forms.
