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:
- Triplett: Midpoint of Hypotenuse Properties
- Horner: Circle Inscribed in a Triangle
- Hulme: Parallel Planes
- Trabue: Johnson’s Circle Theorem
- Harrison: Exterior Angles in a Polygon
- Boyd: Co-Eutrignon Theorem
- Cobb: Fibonacci Numbers
- Compton: Sierpinski Triangle
- Lund: Congruent Angles Formed by Parallel Lines and a Transversal
- Farrington: Pythagorean Theorem
- Bennett: The Golden Ratio
- Draughn: Circle Inscribed in a Triangle
- Jenkins: Properties of Parallel Lines and Transversals
- Howard: The Four-Color Theorem
- McCarthy: Tessellation
- Johnson: Angle Bisector Theorem
- Nutter: Tesseract
- Lazenby: Sierpinski Triangle
- Webber: Borromean Rings
- Burkart: Exterior Angles of a Polygon
