ST1-Finding science and mathematics in arts of Salvatore Dali-EN

In this interdisciplinary lesson, students delve into the surrealistic masterpieces of Salvador Dalí, uncovering the hidden connections between mathematics, art, and science within his iconic paintings. Through engaging activities and discussions, students explore the mathematical concepts of symmetry, fractals, and geometric shapes present in Dalí’s artworks. They analyze the scientific principles depicted in his surrealistic interpretations of natural phenomena, such as melting clocks and distorted perspectives, linking them to concepts from physics and psychology. Utilizing art supplies and geometric tools, students engage in hands-on activities to recreate Dalí’s artistic techniques, experimenting with visual illusions and perspective distortions. They also delve into the psychological aspects of Dalí’s work, exploring the intersection of art and the human mind. Throughout the lesson, students develop critical thinking skills as they analyze and interpret Dalí’s artwork through the lens of mathematics and  science. By the end of the lesson, students gain a deeper appreciation for the interdisciplinary nature of art and its profound connections to mathematics and science, inspired by the surrealistic genius of Salvador Dalí.
