Geometry through artworks

Geometry as we know is essential to make relation between space and form or our surroundings.  In this way, students need to understand and to know about the flat and solid geometry that exist in order to realize how the world is constructed.  

It can be carried and worked through different ways, such as artworks where it can be observed geometrical figures that have a hidden meaning.

Here there is the first example the illustrator Matt Stevens, who does in his drawings a brilliant mix between sports and geometrical figures. If we go in depth we can see, in his book, different athletes are illustrated doing different sports where you can observe different geometrical figures. All of them refer to how different elements, the strategies of the play ...  are infiltrated through geometry.

Secondly, we also can do it through Kandinsky and his “Composition VIII”. He uses abstract art in order to represent movement, the movement of the music. For that he takes different geometrical figures, in order to represent what the music means to him. In addition, in this composition it can be observed: triangles, circles, straight lines, etc.

Lastly, we can work it through Picasso artworks too, where the cubism is based on a geometrical decomposition of the reality.
