also left-brain dominant) to activate that hemisphere when learning mathematical vocabulary and concepts.

It creates more well rounded learning.

Students who enroll in this course will learn about fundamental topics such as geometric shapes, symmetry,

ratios and mathematical expressions while creating visual art by drawing, coloring and painting. This class

will allow students a fun and exciting way to learn fundamental concepts that will be built upon in their
