Visual Modeling as a Motivation for Studying Mathematics and Art
Sendova, Evgenia; Grkovska, Slavica
Educational Media International, v42 n2 p173-180 Jun 2005
The paper deals with the possibility of enriching the curriculum in mathematics, informatics and art by means of visual modeling of abstract paintings. The authors share their belief that in building a computer model of a construct, one gains deeper insight into the construct, and is motivated to elaborate one's knowledge in mathematics and informatics. This idea is demonstrated in the context of educating pre- and in-service teachers and children. The visual modeling of some paintings by de Stijl and Kandinsky by means of identifying fundamental geometric elements and describing them by Logo procedures is discussed on the basis of the authors' experience in various class settings in Bulgaria and Macedonia.
