A bit of inspiration from #MathArtMarch https://aperiodical.com/2025/04/a-bit-of-inspiration-from-mathartmarch/

Math Art March prompts: circle, on a square grid, nature, swirly, discovery, single line, how many?, pentagon, growth, map, proof, on an iso grid, zero, irrational, triangle, connected, symmetry, chance, forty-two, repetition, font, hexagon, together, equal, chaos, choice, tangled, quadrilateral, unsolved, game, change

#MathArtMarch Day 8: Pentagon (final post!)
Here are 51 pentagons in a centered pentagonal pattern. Part of an ongoing series of artworks expressing the positive integers as a geometric arrangement of identical simple visual elements.

#MathArtMarch Day 7: How Many?
How many small white circles do you see? Clever counting should reveal a fun answer.

A pattern of circles. How many do you see? Clever counting should reveal a fun answer.

#MathArtMarch Day 6: Single Line
One single line (in a general sense) that draws 2025.

#MathArtMarch Day 5: Discovery
Julia is the Solution
This work pays homage to Julia Robinson (1919–1985). Her work was a critical component in discovering a proof (negatively) of Hilbert's tenth problem.
#MathArt

The image, based on a photograph, is made from 1919 stippled X's. The size, crossing angle, and arm dimensions of each X is related to the original photo’s brightness and local gradient. The use of the X symbol celebrates her work on Hilbert's tenth problem and the common use of the X symbol for an unknown variable.

#MathArtMarch Day 4: Swirly
Here are 89 circles on a phyllotactic spiral. Part of an ongoing series of artworks expressing the positive integers as a geometric arrangement of identical simple visual elements.

#MathArt

Here are 89 circles on a phyllotactic spiral. A nod to 89 being a Fibonacci number and the connection between many plant structures and Fibonacci numbers.

#MathArtMarch Day 3: Nature
Swirling Snowflakes
It wasn't until the early 1900s that scientists began to understand the nature of frozen water crystals that leads to their beautiful structure.
#MathArt

Still catching up with early #MathArtMarch themes.

A flurry of snowflakes swirl in this homage to winter. Each snowflake is created using a random process and are packed within the image using a bespoke packing algorithm so that no snowflake intersects another.

#MathArtMarch Day 2: On a Square Grid
Here are 41 superellipses on a rotated square grid. Part of an ongoing series of artworks expressing the positive integers as a geometric arrangement of identical simple visual elements.

#MathArt

41 superellipses on a rotated square grid. Because 41 is a prime that is one more than multiple of 4 (congruent to 1 mod 4), it can be represented as a sum of two squares. In this case, 41 = 4*4 + 5*5.

Bah! Stupidly missed the last day of #mathartmarch! I blame shingles vax side effects. Not sure what I'd have posted. My work is certainly changing so that fits the prompt which was "change". Expect knitted wall art subjecting traditional Fair Isle patterns to Conway's Game of Life. No photos yet.

It's April but people are still posting on the #MathArtMarch feed. Clearly it's staying up while People are still using the #tag but... ... should I update it to look for more tags. Like, dare I say it, #MathArtApril?

#MathArtMarch Day 1: Circle
Here are 190 ellipses in a circular pattern. Part of an ongoing series of artworks expressing the positive integers as a geometric arrangement of identical simple visual elements.

Because I got a late start on #MathArtMarch, I am going to extend my posts into April.

At the end of #MathArtMarch I'm wondering whether I should unpublish the feed in a couple of weeks or leave it for people to honour #MathArtMarch in their hearts, and try to keep it all the year. Open to opinions, especially @ayliean.bsky.social's...

You can also check out all the #fractal images I have created using this method, and even download the #PowerPoint files to play around with yourself, here: https://emlyn.github.io/PowerPointFractals/#index

Our final #MathArtMarch contribution is for the 'Symmetry' prompt. With black craft paper & tissue paper, you can make your own stained-glass-window style artwork with symmetrical patterns. mathsweek.scot/news/stained... #MathsToday #UKMathsChat #EduSky

A paper stained glass style piece of art, made from a circle of round black paper with symmetrical shapes cut out. There is coloured tissue paper behind the shapes.

#MathArtMarch Day 31 (Change)
I finally got around to making a short screen recording of how to create these #fractals in #PowerPoint.
Maybe it will change the way you create your presentations :-)

It's the last day of #MathArtMarch so we wanted to add to a couple more of the prompts we missed. Firstly, for 'Triangle', our geometric heart made entirely out of triangles! A simple art activity to discuss fractions & multiplication mathsweek.scot/news/geometr... #MathsToday #UKMathsChat #EduSky

A mosaic paper heart made up entirely of different coloured triangles.

#MathArtMarch Day 31: Change
One way to change MATH to ART.
#MathArt

The word MATH is transformed into the word ART along a meandering path from the top left to bottom right.

Obviously I have to go back to my Game of Life Fair Isle project for today's #mathartmarch prompt "game". Here's my knitted portrait of its originator, John Conway, with heraldic bands of pulsars and gliders in traditional Fair Isle colours.

Knitted panel showing a black and white, pixelated, head and shoulders portrait of a white man looking straight at the viewer. He is resting his chin on one hand and is wearing a checked shirt.

Above and below the portrait are bands of colourful motifs. Narrow blue stripes with yellow gliders on either side of red stripes with white pulsars.

#MathArtMarch Day 30 (Game)
Anyone for a game of #fractal trains?
Made in #PowerPoint

#MathArtMarch Day 30: Game
Take a number n, square the digits, add to get a new number, repeat. If the sequence ever reaches 1, the n is a happy number (green); otherwise (blue) it ends up in the 4, 16, 37, 58, 89, 145, 42, 20 cycle (red). It's a fun little arithmetic game to play.
