what do you get when you add art and maths huh geometric art geometric art hang on what's 00:00:00
geometry and maths got to do with art geometric art is art that is based on shapes and patterns 00:00:17
like geometry and maths in school art maths and geometry are often very different subjects but in 00:00:23
life they're together everywhere everywhere even in my house maybe even in the room with you right 00:00:29
now take a look around you what shapes do you see i see a window it's a rectangle this lamp is like 00:00:36
a triangle my glasses are two circles how many of these shapes are exactly the same on both sides 00:00:45
In geometry, this is called symmetry. 00:00:54
Symmetry is all around. 00:00:56
In tables and chairs and flowers and insects like butterflies and beetles. 00:00:58
Sometimes in faces. 00:01:03
When lots of these shapes appear together in a repeated way, this is called a pattern. 00:01:05
You might have noticed patterns in your clothes or on walls or floors. 00:01:09
When a pattern fits together without any gaps, this is called tessellation. 00:01:13
Art from the Islamic world, dating back since the 7th century, 00:01:19
shows shapes arranged in a huge variety of tessellating patterns 00:01:22
that go on and on and on. 00:01:26
These designs are used on pottery, wooden stone carvings, carpets and tiles, 00:01:29
and used to decorate homes and religious buildings. 00:01:34
So geometry has been important for mathematicians and artists for hundreds, 00:01:36
no, thousands of years! 00:01:40
Yep, and they've all explored these geometric themes of shape, 00:01:43
Pattern and tessellation in their own different, unique ways. 00:01:47
The Cubists wanted to show an object with different shapes from different angles. 00:01:52
The Suprematists used shapes like rectangles and triangles as the main characters in their paintings. 00:01:57
Artist Bridget Riley uses shapes and lines to create illusions that play with your vision. 00:02:03
This is sometimes referred to as op art, which is short for optical art. 00:02:08
The longer you look at her art, the more you might think it starts to move and change into something different. 00:02:12
Whoa! 00:02:17
Is all geometric art flat like paintings? 00:02:20
No, geometric art can be 3D sculptures too. 00:02:24
Artists Salwa, Rauda, Shuker created rectangular blocks that can be stacked on top of one another. 00:02:27
A little like Minecraft, but each block is not just a block. 00:02:33
They represent an idea from Islamic and Sufi poetry that every part is individual and can stand on its own. 00:02:37
They can also come together to make a whole. 00:02:44
Another artist fascinated by maths and shapes is Rashid Arine. 00:02:47
His sculpture, Zero to Infinity, is made up of lots of wooden cubes that start off as a big square. 00:02:51
But he invites you to work collaboratively with other people to touch, move, shift and stack them into something new. 00:02:57
Why is it called Zero to Infinity? 00:03:03
Well, zero is just the start and infinity represents the endless number of forms we could create with his cubes. 00:03:05
So the artwork can keep changing and going on and on and on. That's cool. 00:03:12
So why is it made that? What's it about? 00:03:19
Well, Rashid wants to use art to inspire other people to think differently. 00:03:21
He thinks that everyone is equal, just like the cubes. 00:03:25
But the world we live in can feel really fixed. 00:03:28
The symmetry of the big square at the start represents the world as the set structure 00:03:31
Where everyone, like you, is forced to fit in and be the same 00:03:35
So, zero to infinity shows us that what may look fixed can actually be changed? 00:03:39
Yeah, when you work together with others to break the symmetry 00:03:46
You're transforming it from sameness to freedom and creativity 00:03:49
Rashid wants to show people that if they can work together to make a change inside the gallery 00:03:52
They can do it outside the gallery too 00:03:57
take another look around you what shapes can you see now whoa I could see patterns I could 00:03:59
see symmetry I could see tessellation and you yes you look up look down look all around you 00:04:07
what shapes can you see what patterns can you make with the shapes around you and how 00:04:17
How many ways can you transform the world with geometry? 00:04:21
