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