Overview

The Art of Math and Science guides teachers to introduce masterpiece art to young children, so they can tell you about ""paints with hidden floats"" and ask questions like, ""When painting the Sistine Chapel, do you think Michelangelo had many headaches?"" This book helps parents and educators look at the subject through the prism of mathematical and scientific experiences. This book acts as a guide to help integrate the subject matters of math, art, social studies, culture, and science. Readers will embark on a journey, exploring nineteen artists (or art forms) from around the world. Each artist's work is looked at through the spectrum of math and science so that art is elevated from being ""merely art"" and integrated with math, science, history, geography and language.
