Jeff is not an astronaut but he is an expert on space, design and three-dimensional structures that enhance indoor and outdoor spaces. Blending art principles with math concepts makes difficult subjects easier to grasp and much more enjoyable.
Choose from the following options:
Shapes in Math
Students will apply the basic shapes used in architectural drawings to explore size, scale, space and measurement as they relate to creating three-dimensional artworks.
Grade Levels: K-5
Tessellation and Design
Students learn how to draw and manipulate tessellated shapes to generate designs similar to ones found in many cultures around the world.
Grade Levels: 5 – 12
Geometry in Perspective
Public art plus geometry equals a fascinating, hands-on investigation of perspective rendering, the Golden Ratio in design and nature, binocular/stereoscopic vision and triangulation.
Grade Levels: 5 – 12
