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