Procedures

• Instructor will set up project by showing works of Piet Mondrian, Frank Lloyd Wright, etc. and discuss the use of geometric shapes in a composition.
• Math students create their own linear equations. 
• Math students color them per proportionalities of complementary pairs.
• Art students get the design and offer another color scheme.
• Art students create another design by cutting up math students’ designs and come up with a new design to create their own design.
• Math students complete their design with new color scheme.

To create the table

Use the equation m = n + 7 (mod 12) as an example.
If    n = 10
      M = 10+ 7 = 17
      17 12 =1 remainder 5
      Use only the remainder 5

Solve for m, then connect m to n across the circle.
