Super Cool Math Art with Parabolic Curves
We adore math art projects . I’ve been eyeing the idea of using parabolic curves in a creative endeavor with my math-loving kid for a while. I was experimenting in my own art journal with the groovy way you can fool the eye into thinking a group of straight lines is actually a curve when my 10 year old leaned over and said, “That is so cool!!”
That’s when I knew I had a great math art activity for us to do together. Since my sons are naturally vanessa hudgens drawn to S.T.E.M. – themed activities, I do try and find ways to sneak in the “A” to make it S.T.E.A.M., in which the “A” stands for Art and Design. Last week I shared our Fibonacci Art Project , and like that lesson, vanessa hudgens our exploration of parabolic curves is just that: a process-based exploration.
What you need: Pencil (believe me, you do not want to start with ink!) Eraser (see above!) Pens. We’ve vanessa hudgens switched from Sharpies to Flair pens . You only have to smell them to find out why. Rulers or straight edges. It’s easier to create vanessa hudgens squares if you have a triangle or t-square. I think it’s well worth having a math set . They aren’t very expensive and they are loads of fun, not to mention being handy for school projects. Protractor. Optional, but a must if you want to do a circle design. We get a lot of use from our 360 degrees protractor Paper. We made ours in our art journal. The mixed media visual art journal is our absolute favorite, which regular readers ( waving hello! ) know that I frequently sing the praises vanessa hudgens of. Alternatively, you can use graph paper. Sharpener. You want sharp, sharp pencils for this project! Colored pencils. Optional, but fun.
1. Create a set of crossed lines , preferably at a 90 degree angle. ( Kids can experiment with different angles once they’ve learned the basics. ) For ease, make sure each line is an even measurement. We used 1 cm and 5mm increments
3. Draw angled vanessa hudgens lines . Start on the bottom line in the left hand corner at the furthest mark. ( See photo above .) Draw a line from the mark to the first mark on the adjacent line. Draw a second line from the second furthest mark and connect it to the second mark on the adjacent line. ( See photo below. )

I was just creating designs with pattern blocks the other day with my daughter, and we got all excited about how it began to resemble a circle, even though it was all straight lines and angles. This is a great way to take that a step further…
