Lecture: “Everything Your Math Teacher Never Taught You: Mathematics and Art”
Join us in the RAC’s Performing Arts Room to enjoy the fascinating lecture “Everything Your Math Teacher Never Taught You: Mathematics and Art” with Gail Harrison Roman, Ph. D.
Mathematics and design are sister arts. Since the ancient world, artists and architects have used mathematical concepts in their creations, and not always consciously or accurately! This lecture will explore the mathematical applications and manipulations used by painters, sculptors, and architects through the ages. Open to anyone with an interest in art history.
