Can someone give me an idea what to draw for our poster making project: the theme is importance of mathematics

Question

just give me some ideas what to draw
i really wanted it to be simple but expressive

Answer 1

I think that the best way to express the importance of math through art is by demonstrating the "Golden Mean" (Golden Ratio)

I would sketch a picture of the Parthenon, in Athens, or something to that effect. Over the sketch draw out the lines, demonstrating the golden ratio. You can look at tons of other examples in art and nature to demonstrate how "perfect" dimension is mathematical.

Trust, you'll get an A on this, no professor would be able to argue it, and he/she will not be able to answer why this is fact. With math, you usually don't ask why, it just IS what it is and can be applied to anything in the universe (it's an exact science). So it demonstrates the power, mystery, and beauty behind mathmatics. Using art or architecture would be a visually stimulating way to demonstrate a science that what would otherwise bore or intimidate most people.

At the bottom of the poster you could have a quote like,

"The golden ratio has fascinated intellectuals of diverse interests for at least 2,400 years. Without it, where would we stand?"

or

"May you see the Golden Mean in everything."

“ Some of the greatest mathematical minds of all ages, from Pythagoras and Euclid in ancient Greece, through the medieval Italian mathematician Leonardo of Pisa and the Renaissance astronomer Johannes Kepler, to present-day scientific figures such as Oxford physicist Roger Penrose, have spent endless hours over this simple ratio and its properties. But the fascination with the Golden Ratio is not confined just to mathematicians. Biologists, artists, musicians, historians, architects, psychologists, and even mystics have pondered and debated the basis of its ubiquity and appeal. In fact, it is probably fair to say that the Golden Ratio has inspired thinkers of all disciplines like no other number in the history of mathematics. ”
— Mario Livio, The Golden Ratio: The Story of Phi, The World's Most Astonishing Number

Some studies of the Acropolis, including the Parthenon's facade and other elements, conclude that many of its proportions approximate the golden ratio.

Hope you like that idea!!! Now I wish I had that project. =)

Answer 2

Maybe you could base it around sport the importance of mathematics like you have to add up the scores percentages and the odds of the team- You could base it on cooking like the measurements of the food and the time to put it in. Or even just daily stuff like how long you have worked for and how much you have earned, how long a food should go in the microwave or if you were buying sugar the mass of the sugar and how much you need. And even what time to set your alarm in the morning. Maths is all around us every day and every minute I hope this has helped you and good luck with your poster!

Answer 3

Mathematics is all about 'problem solving', where the equation is = to the solution; The best way to visually express the practical use of math is with simple geometry; pie chart perhaps? or is that too simple?

Answer 4

A few years ago, I did a book cover for a math curriculum, directed at children. It was titled, "Math Power for Life." I did a collage of images, including candy, electric guitars, and a kid, wearing a helmet and posed in front of a high performance, military jet. The theme was to represent the skills needed to be able reach goals, whether to earn money to purchase material goods, or to acheive ambitious goals in life.

Answer 5

Draw a spaceship blasting off into space, draw workers constructing a building, draw a doctor checking on a patient, draw a stock broker working at his computer and draw a guy designing a new car. Title at bottom "Math, it's not just numbers" or maybe "Math, it's everyday life" or maybe "Math, it's not just for geeks" or "Math > speling" (sic)

Answer 6

try brainstorming ideas on WHY it's important to you. or think of headlines on what math has done for our civilization:

safety regulations, exploration/study, technology, building/development
