Common Core: High School - Geometry

Explore the principles and applications of geometry, including shapes, theorems, and real-world problem-solving.

Practical Applications

Geometry in Art and Design

Creating with Geometry

Artists and designers use geometric shapes to create patterns, perspective, and balance in their work. Geometry helps bring harmony and structure to both traditional and digital art.

How It Works

  • Using shapes to build patterns (like tiling).
  • Applying perspective to make drawings look 3D.
  • Arranging objects symmetrically for visual balance.

Why It Matters

Geometry transforms creative ideas into visually striking works, from graphic design to architecture and sculpture.

Examples

  • Using hexagons for a beehive-inspired art piece.

  • Drawing a city skyline with rectangles and triangles.
