@ayliean.bsky.social reset the #MathArtMarch feed to also pull up all #mathart posts, but it never shows more than a day or two of posts, while the original March version kept posts going back farther. I’m hoping this feed won’t have that sort of cutoff?
For those that miss #MathArtMarch, here's a new challenge: #MathPhoto25. Hoping to see a lot of #MathArt and #IllustratingMath!
Dunno if you're still looking, but you might check the #MathArtMarch tag. It was fairly active this last round!
I just keep riffing off #MathArtMarch. Here is one off my hexagon codes! 3D cubes in hexagons. Just connecting every other vertex to the midpoint of the hexagon.
This year's #MathArtMarch was beautiful in so many ways.
I made some art and when I fell off, the rest of the community carried the flame and I got to see so much joyful nerdy creativity - I'm smiling writing this post!
Here's a Padlet to collect future prompt ideas 💗 padlet.com/ayliean/math...
Here are 51 pentagons in a centered pentagonal pattern.
#MathArtMarch Day 8: Pentagon (final post!)
Here are 51 pentagons in a centered pentagonal pattern. Part of an ongoing series of artworks expressing the positive integers as a geometric arrangement of identical simple visual elements.

A pattern of circles. How many do you see? Clever counting should reveal a fun answer.
#MathArtMarch Day 7: How Many?
How many small white circles do you see? Clever counting should reveal a fun answer.

One single line (in a general sense) that draws 2025. Each row has a sine curve that varies in amplitude and frequency to distinguish between foreground and background.
#MathArtMarch Day 6: Single Line
One single line (in a general sense) that draws 2025.

A repost from #genuary2025.
The image, based on a photograph, is made from 1919 stippled X's. The size, crossing angle, and arm dimensions of each X is related to the original photo’s brightness and local gradient. The use of the X symbol celebrates her work on Hilbert's tenth problem and the common use of the X symbol for an unknown variable.
#MathArtMarch Day 5: Discovery
Julia is the Solution
This work pays homage to Julia Robinson (1919–1985). Her work was a critical component in discovering a proof (negatively) of Hilbert's tenth problem.

Here are 89 circles on a phyllotactic spiral. A nod to 89 being a Fibonacci number and the connection between many plant structures and Fibonacci numbers.
#MathArtMarch Day 4: Swirly

The #MathArtMarch prompts are springboarding me into Artsy April musings! Here is fun one! I need to be more comfortable (which largely equates to learning to use) GitHub so I could share these python codes.
Still catching up with early #MathArtMarch themes.
A flurry of snowflakes swirl in this homage to winter. Each snowflake is created using a random process and are packed within the image using a bespoke packing algorithm so that no snowflake intersects another.
#MathArtMarch Day 3: Nature
Swirling Snowflakes
It wasn't until the early 1900s that scientists began to understand the nature of frozen water crystals that leads to their beautiful structure.

41 superellipses on a rotated square grid. Because 41 is a prime that is one more than multiple of 4 (congruent to 1 mod 4), it can be represented as a sum of two squares. In this case, 41 = 4*4 + 5*5.
#MathArtMarch Day 2: On a Square Grid

Some consolation for all the souls out there, who, like me, miss the daily #MathArtMarch posts of @ayliean.bsky.social et al.
Bah! Stupidly missed the last day of #mathartmarch! I blame shingles vax side effects. Not sure what I'd have posted. My work is certainly changing so that fits the prompt which was "change". Expect knitted wall art subjecting traditional Fair Isle patterns to Conway's Game of Life. No photos yet.
It's April but people are still posting on the #MathArtMarch feed. Clearly it's staying up while People are still using the #tag but...
... should I update it to look for more tags. Like, dare I say it, #MathArtApril?
March may be over but I'm still marching through #MathArtMarch ideas. Here's a new one I coded as a variation of my codes for the quadrilateral prompt.
Because I got a late start on #MathArtMarch, I am going to extend my posts into April.
190 ellipses in a circular pattern.
#MathArtMarch Day 1: Circle

A diagram with two dodecagons made out of pattern blocks, and substitutions that can be used to transition between them.
#MathArtMarch day 31, “change”. Using the substitutions shown below, how can you get from dodecagon A to dodecagon B? It’s fun to try yourself, but a solution is shown in comments. Credit to my dad for coming up with the concept of “flipping pentagons”.

This shows the webpage for "Quilts: A Geometry Excursion for Grades 1-2." There is a blurb about the Excursion, images of 3 quilts made by students, and a button for downloading the activities (including student pages and a slide deck).
This shows the image of the webpage for "Quilts and Quiltmakers: A Geometry Excursion for Grades 4-5." There is a blurb describing the Excursion and an image of a quilt they study, made by Harriet Powers, in addition to a button to download the activities (including student pages and a slide deck).
Discovering #MathArtMarch on Day 31. Thinking about our Excursions on quilts & quiltmakers (at grades 1-2 & 4-5), & how they connect the mathematics of geometry & pattern to the aesthetics & artistry of quilts. Free to download. www.terc.edu/mathequityfo...
Day 31: The #MathArtMarch prompt is "change". Inspired by Bob Bosch’s (@baabbbaash.bsky.social) work in Opt Art, this piece uses linear optimization to depict Katherine Johnson and Maryam Mirzakhani in a lenticular dice mosaic. This work is part of honors work with Anna Hugo.
At the end of #MathArtMarch I'm wondering whether I should unpublish the feed in a couple of weeks or leave it for people to honour #MathArtMarch in their hearts, and try to keep it all the year.
Open to opinions, especially @ayliean.bsky.social's...
You can also check out all the #fractal images I have created using this method, and even download the #PowerPoint files to play around with yourself, here: emlyn.github.io/PowerPointFr...

A paper stained glass style piece of art, made from a circle of round black paper with symmetrical shapes cut out. There is coloured tissue paper behind the shapes.
Our final #MathArtMarch contribution is for the 'Symmetry' prompt. With black craft paper & tissue paper, you can make your own stained-glass-window style artwork with symmetrical patterns. mathsweek.scot/news/stained... #MathsToday #UKMathsChat #EduSky
#MathArtMarch Day 31 (Change)
I finally got around to making a short screen recording of how to create these #fractals in #PowerPoint.
Maybe it will change the way you create your presentations :-)

Two images, the left is a pile of UK coins, the right is the same image inverted about the circle around the central 10p coin.
#mathartmarch Day31: Change.
Let me present Change - Changed. This is an inversion in the circle, pixel by pixel, using some python code and the vector formula: x'=centre+(x-centre)*radius^2/(|x-centre|^2)

A mosaic paper heart made up entirely of different coloured triangles.
It's the last day of #MathArtMarch so we wanted to add to a couple more of the prompts we missed. Firstly, for 'Triangle', our geometric heart made entirely out of triangles! A simple art activity to discuss fractions & multiplication mathsweek.scot/news/geometr... #MathsToday #UKMathsChat #EduSky
