I run every activity in Maths Art over two weeks. The first week is learning the basics, with permission to throw all evidence away, if students choose to. The second week we reinforce the Maths, then students take the time they need to produce their final product.
The Seed of Life pattern is over 3000 years old, and constructing it requires the artist to understand the parts of a circle...

before putting all those skills together and creating 7 perfect circles that offer endless possibilities for making a beautiful picture based on the Seed of Life pattern.
