Geometry of Art Deco is a cross-curricular project combining visual art, history of art, and geometry. It reinforces an application aspect of geometry in visual arts and the use of tools such as rulers, protractors, compasses, and/or digital media. Art Deco was chosen because of its distinct geometric style and precision, but also because of its visual appeal. Included in the bundle: a lesson plan and a presentation with a step-by-step guide to creating two simple Art Deco-style elements using
The Geometry of Art Deco project blends artistic creativity with core math concepts like symmetry, transformations, and geometric shapes. Students explore the striking style of the Art Deco movement—known for its bold lines, repeating patterns, and sleek symmetry—while applying geometry concepts such as reflection, rotation, translation, and dilation. Students create their own Art Deco-inspired posters using graph paper or digital tools, reinforcing mathematical vocabulary and precision through

This lesson is part of a series of interdisciplinary lessons I thought to prepare students for amateur radio contact with the ISS. It covers a broad range of subjects: space science, math, and geography.
