Art in Maths!

Good morning everyone!  Another lovely sunny day!  I hope everyone enjoyed Sports Day yesterday.  Something different from me today – using two of my favourite things – art and maths! Can you draw a curve using only straight lines?  Sounds impossible doesn’t it!?  However, it can be done!  The basic technique is called curve stitching and once you have learned it, you can use it to create all sorts of different patterns.  My instructions are quite long and have lots of photos, so I’ve uploaded a word document with the instructions.

I’ve also linked to two videos – the first shows the basic technique and the second shows how to use it to make a pattern.

If you decide to have a go, I’d love to see your pictures so remember to email them, post them in Teams, on the blog or on Twitter (remembering not to add names to photos please)

Have a great day!
