Creativity in Mathematics Field Trip to the SHED museum space in NYC, NY 2020<\/h2>\n

The art-centered theme for Spring 2020 was inspired by the Agnes Denes exhibit at the SHED exhibit space in New York City. Agnes Denes is a pioneering artist who is described as pushing artistic boundaries by using varied disciplines to explore the state of the world. Her work also is described as at once public facing and self-analyzing. On Friday, February 21st, 31 students and ten faculty loaded onto a school bus to visit the SHED exhibit space in Manhattan. The trip brought a pause to the demands and obligations of work, as we found ourselves in an exhibit where poetry, light, philosophy, science, and the very earth we inhabit were on display for our analysis and wonder. It was a reminder that our mathematical learning can be brought to questioning, appreciating, sharing and breathing in art in all of the forms Denes had to offer.<\/p>\n
