Mathematics and arts

Mathematics and art are like two best friends that are always together. But sometimes they like different things and they have to find a way to make it work.

Mathematics is all about numbers and patterns, while art is all about colors and shapes. Sometimes, artists use math to create their art. They use things like symmetry and geometric shapes to create designs.

For example, have you ever seen a painting where everything is perfectly symmetrical? That is using math to create art.

Artists also use math to figure out how big or small something needs to be, or how many colors they need. Math helps them make sure everything looks just right.

So, even though math and art are different, they can work together to create beautiful things.
