 * Final Paper instructions:**

(Your Name) Monica Is It Math or Art? Period 3 (Date) Final Project (Give your paper a title) Throughout this course we created multiple pieces of artwork: paper weavings, origami, string art, optical illusions, one and two point perspective drawings, platonic solids, the golden ratio and finally, original M.C. Escher tessellations. Each piece was created with personal flair and analyzed with a mathematical lens, raising the essential question: is it math or art?

For your final reflection, you should write a paper answering just that – is the work that you created this trimester simply a product of the creative mind? Or does the work result from mathematical principles? Can one exist without the other? In what ways do mathematical concepts infiltrate art creations? Does art shape our understanding of math? Does math shape our understanding of art? How?

In order to receive a minimum of a “MS” rating for this final reflection, you must:
 * 1) Include specific details from your experience this trimester
 * 2) Include the proper heading (see the top of this paper)
 * 3) Double-space
 * 4) Use Times New Roman, font size 12
 * 5) Include a title, introduction, body, and a conclusion
 * 6) Use complete sentences and proper punctuation
 * 7) Answer the question: is it math or art? (And explain why, of course!)

This paper is due Friday, March 16th, 2012. (Papers may be submitted earlier, if finished.)
