Abstract

Art has generally been associated with aesthetics, emotion, and senses. On the contrary, mathematics has been associated with logic, precision, and truth. It is necessary to understand that throughout history, the two disciplines have been more united than many might consider. Various characteristics believed to be antagonistic have proved to be more convergent than divergent. Both disciplines use patterns, shapes, lines, fractions, and proportions, etc. These concepts are extremely important to both artists and mathematicians. Furthermore, art is now part of the disciplines in education regarding science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM). Mathematical concepts are explicitly and implicitly used to create visual works. Many masterpecies can be seen to be made up of repeating sequences of simple geometric shapes, lines such as M.C. Escher, Wassily, Kandinsky, Paul Klee, and Dalí. This article offers some products that can involve the knowledge of mathematics to create some simple art products suitable for elementary students' knowledge and skills to help broaden their thinking, increase creativity, and form certain abilities.
