This year's #MathArtMarch was beautiful in so many ways.

I made some art and when I fell off, the rest of the community carried the flame and I got to see so much joyful nerdy creativity - I'm smiling writing this post!

Here's a Padlet to collect future prompt ideas 💗 padlet.com/ayliean/math...

In case you haven't seen it, Ive now made a short screen recording of the process:

You can also check out all the #fractal images I have created using this method, and even download the #PowerPoint files to play around with yourself, here: emlyn.github.io/PowerPointFr...

#MathArtMarch Day 31 (Change)
I finally got around to making a short screen recording of how to create these #fractals in #PowerPoint.
Maybe it will change the way you create your presentations :-)

#MathArtMarch Day 30 (Game)
Anyone for a game of #fractal trains?
Made in #PowerPoint

#MathArtMarch Day 29 (Unsolved)
Hopefully this one will be solved as soon as possible.

#MathArtMarch Day 28 (Quadrilateral)
Squares and rectangles.

#MathArtMarch Day 27 (Tangled)
Some tweaks to the Sierpiński gasket #fractal get you a triangular lace doily.

#MathArtMarch Day 26 (Choice)
Squirrels and Woodpeckers choosing which branch to climb.

#MathArtMarch Day 25 (Chaos)
Not chaos in the mathematical sense (I'm not sure that's possible with this #PowerPoint method), but this distorted carpet looks quite chaotic.

Inspired by your work for #MathArtMarch Day 24 (Equal), I made a curve of pursuit and flipped the colors...equal amounts of each color representing the need to be in relationship with differences...which can be stark differences.

#MathArtMarch Day 24 (Equal)
Inverted reflection: two equal but opposite sides.

#MathArtMarch Day 23 (Together)
A Sierpiński triangle with lots of colours from mixing together a red, a green and a blue triangle.

#MathArtMarch Day 22 (Hexagon)
A purple shaded hexaflake.
Made in #PowerPoint.

#MathArtMarch Day 21 (Font)
A font (water container) made of fonts.

#MathArtMarch Day 20 (Repetition)
Two spheres repeating indefinitely into the distance.

#MathArtMarch Day 19 (42)
A 6x9 grid containing 42 small copies of the whole image.
Created in #PowerPoint.

#MathArtMarch Day 18 (Chance)
Many of the images I've made are based on known #fractals or slight variations of them. This one is not based on anything in particular, I just stumbled upon it by chance as I was playing around in #PowerPoint.

#MathArtMarch Day 17 (Symmetry)
Lots of choices for this prompt, but in the end I decided to go for this Vicsek #fractal. Even though the colouring actually breaks the some of the symmetry, I think it somehow feels more symmetric than in a single colour.

#MathArtMarch Day 16 (Connected)
The Pentadendrite (a variation of McWorter's Pentigree) #fractal looks weird and asymmetrical, but 5 of them connect together perfectly to make this nice order-5 symmetric image.
#mathart #fractalart #geometry #PowerPoint

#MathArtMarch Day 15 (Triangle)
A variation on the Sierpiński Triangle: split it into 16 ¼-length triangles and remove 3 around the centre. Repeat in each sub-triangle, and you get this.
As usual, made entirely in #PowerPoint.
#mathart #fractal #fractalart #geometry

#MathArtMarch Day 14 (Irrational)
Start with a line segment. Replace it with two lines at 45° to it, scaled by √2. Keep repeating. You get the Heighway Dragon #fractal.
I think the pattern inside is caused by my scaling factor not being exactly √2 (#PowerPoint doesn't allow irrational size)

#MathArtMarch Day 13 (Zero)
Start with a square, remove the central square with half the side length, then remove squares at each corner with half the side length again, and repeat until zero area remains.
What's left is the T-square #fractal (white here).

#MathArtMarch Day 12 (On an Iso grid)
An isometric Menger Sponge, created in #PowerPoint

#MathArtMarch Day 11 (Proof)
Definitely not a rigorous proof, but maybe somewhat of a demonstration, that this H-curve (at each end of each line draw a perpendicular line scaled down by a factor of √2) fills a rectangular area of the plane.

Thank you! I'll see if I can put together a little screen recording of the process, hopefully before the end of #MathArtMarch.

#MathArtMarch Day 10 (Map)
Take an image of the Terdragon #fractal in #PowerPoint (just 3 slide zooms to create 3 smaller copies of the whole image), adjust the colours and add one line, and you get this map.

#MathArtMarch Day 9 (Growth)
I appear to have grown some slightly stylised purple fractal mushrooms.

#MathArtMarch Day 8 (Pentagon)
A Pentaflake #fractal made in #PowerPoint.
There are 6 smaller copies of the image: 5 around the points of the pentagon, and the sixth rotated 180 degrees in the centre.

#MathArtMarch Day 7 (How Many?)
How many legs on this little creature?
