Mathematicians Made Visible
(A new printmaking project to make sure our visual representations of mathematicians more closely match the reality of the people doing mathematics). One of my favorite paintings is Rafael’s The School of Athens. I have a copy of it in my classroom to remind me and my students that by studying Algebra, they are partContinue reading “Mathematicians Made Visible”
Whitewashed
I created this 4″ by 4″ work for the Morill Mini silent auction benefiting the Justin Morrill Homestead in Strafford, VT. Whle not typical of my work, it feels important to me in this time to use any platform I can to address the current awakening to racial injustice that is happening. What follows isContinue reading “Whitewashed”
Climate Crisis Algebra: Graphing Global Petroleum Consumption
Students all over my school are striking for climate action and I’m not sure what to do. I definitely support their actions, but I also think that learning Algebra is critical to understanding our climate crisis. I created a lesson on changes in the rate of global petroleum consumption over time as a way toContinue reading “Climate Crisis Algebra: Graphing Global Petroleum Consumption”
Visit Osborne the Printer at the Tunbridge World’s Fair, September 12-15, 2019 in Tunbridge, VT
