be used to create new and interesting art? Are you interested in
investigating how mathematics is a creative discipline, and studying
similarities in the creative processes between math and art? If so,
please join our Math 180/Art 255 class, "</i>Making Meaning: Art And Mathematics As Embodied Practices".<br></div><div><div><br></div><div>Math 180A sln <a href="https://sdb.admin.washington.edu/timeschd/uwnetid/sln.asp?QTRYR=AUT+2022&SLN=18240">18240</a> MW 930-11:20</div><div><i><br></i></div><div><i>I</i><i>n
this course, we will focus our inquiry on diverse global cultural
traditions of embodied making, thinking, and imagining, such as
Micronesian stick charts, Central African (Angolan) Sona drawings,
Andean quipus, Coast Salish wool and basket weaving, South Asian kolam,
French Baroque wallpaper designs and contemporary dance.</i></div><div><i><br>Students
will experiment with mathematical ideas, such as Euclidean and
non-Euclidean space and geometry, symmetries and transformations,
tilings (tessellations), as well as various algorithmic processes, in a
variety of media including lens-less photography, fiber arts, and
movement practices.<br><br>This is a studio course, consisting of a
series of studio assignments, which are experimental, but were designed
to build skills and explore mathematical ideas through making. Ideas
taken from these projects may also be further developed into an expanded
range of interdisciplinary projects, from textile pieces, to
sculptures, performances, programming, digital or time-based media.</i></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><pre cols="72"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Best Regards,
