Math art projects are some of the most amazing and fun ways to teach math. There is so much math in art and so much art in math! Art and mathematics may seem an unlikely pair, but they are intertwined in so many ways. Today I want to share with you some amazing Math Art Projects for Kids.

This week, to celebrate the launch of my new book Math Art and Drawing Games for Kids, I am hosting a Math Art series on my site. Each day there is a theme that combines math and art in a creative way. There are some incredibly talented bloggers joining me who will be sharing their own ideas related to Math Art.

First a little about the Math Art and Drawing Games for Kids book. This is a book with more than 40 projects that bring art and math together in fun and creative ways. They teach kids problem solving, creativity and innovation in real life ways.

All of these projects were tested and loved by my own kids! After a year of work, I am so excited that this book is finally launching.

The week before it was officially released, it made the #1 status in new releases for Math Books for Children on Amazon!

Included in the book are the following categories:

Math with Fine Artists- this section brings together modern art and contemporary artists and pairs them with math in fun and innovative ways. Artists use math constantly and you will learn about some of the ways in these projects.

Art with Graphs, Grids, Numbers and Equations- We love doing math art with graph paper and grids, and using equations such as the golden ratio to make beautiful works of art.

Symmetry in Art- Symmetry is such a fun way to create! Learn about some fun symmetrical art projects.

Geometric Art- Bring together shapes and art and you have so much beauty! The possibilities here are virtually endless.

Cultural Math Art ~ This section goes through art history and combines it with cultural history as well.

Edible Math Art- All of these projects can be eaten! Math in the kitchen is one of our favorites.

Watch a little clip of some of the fun things included in the book:

Look what we have in store for you this week in the Math Art series:

Geometric Math Art Projects

These projects all contain geometric patterns and geometric shapes. They combine shapes with numbers in creative ways.

Symmetry Art Projects

Make symmetrical works of art and patterns with symmetry by using some of these creative math art ideas.

Math Art Projects With Fine Artists

Fine artists use math in their creations in many unique ways! Get inspiration from these artists to learn about math in fun ways.

Art Projects With Numbers and Equations

Math Art Projects with Graphs and Grids

Get out your graph paper and get creating! There is so much to make with a grid of squares!

Se ALSO: Science Art and Drawing Games for Kids - My latest release!

Enjoy reading the beautiful book, Viva Frida by Yuyi Morales. Have students try out the Spanish words & discuss what they think the author is trying to convey both with her words & images! *Read the info on Frida Kahlo from the ending pages first so they know a bit about the artists. AFTER reading the book, you can do the Friday Kahlo Portrait Art Lesson together!

Welcome! This Elementary Visual Arts Resource webpage is specifically for elementary students and parents. Art instruction at the elementary level is typically provided through a partnership between the PTA/PTSA, the Issaquah Schools Foundation, and the Issaquah School District.

Until we can safely resume these amazing programs, we are working hard behind the scenes to create resources and video art lessons for our teachers that can be used in a virtual setting.

In addition, we hope this page can provide resources and lessons for both parents and students to access. We want every student to experience the joy of art!

Please take a minute to watch this video & how it shows the vital role the Arts play in our lives: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1D69mKyndEY

Thank you to our contributors!

Thank you Charlotte Mann, Skyline High School Art Teacher, for sharing her lessons including the Navajo Blanket, Chinese Inspired Dragon, Kumihimo, and Diagonal Lines. We also thank Sarah Sundt, Beaver Lake Middle School Language Arts teacher, for her lesson Paint a Landscape.
