For several years now I’ve taught a three-week course on making artglass windows. After learning the basic technique, I ask each student to research a math-related topic and illustrate it with an artglass window. This year’s group did exceptionally good work! The projects ranged from perennial favorites like the Pythagorean Theorem and tessellations to some new topics – tesseracts, Borromean Rings, and Johnson’s Circle Theorem.
Pictures of their projects are below:
-
- Burkart: Exterior Angles of a Polygon
-
- Draughn: Circle Inscribed in a Triangle
-
- McCarthy: Tessellation
-
- Triplett: Midpoint of Hypotenuse Properties
-
- Horner: Circle Inscribed in a Triangle
-
- Lazenby: Sierpinski Triangle
-
- Cobb: Fibonacci Numbers
-
- Trabue: Johnson’s Circle Theorem
-
- Hulme: Parallel Planes
-
- Lund: Congruent Angles Formed by Parallel Lines and a Transversal
-
- Bennett: The Golden Ratio
-
- Harrison: Exterior Angles in a Polygon
-
- Compton: Sierpinski Triangle
-
- Farrington: Pythagorean Theorem
-
- Howard: The Four-Color Theorem
-
- Nutter: Tesseract
-
- Boyd: Co-Eutrignon Theorem
-
- Johnson: Angle Bisector Theorem
-
- Webber: Borromean Rings
-
- Jenkins: Properties of Parallel Lines and Transversals
