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: bsky.app/profile/emly...

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 #mathart #fractalart #fractals

#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 :-) www.youtube.com/watch?v=511v... #mathart #fractal #fractalart

#MathArtMarch Day 29 (Unsolved) Hopefully this one will be solved as soon as possible. #mathart #fractal #fractals #fractalart #PowerPoint

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

#MathArtMarch Day 26 (Choice) Squirrels and Woodpeckers choosing which branch to climb. #mathart #fractal #fractals #fractalart #PowerPoint

#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. #mathart #fractal #fractals #fractalart

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. #mathart #fractal #fractalart #PowerPoint

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

Emlyn @emlyn.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

#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. #mathart #fractal #fractalart #geometry

141

Emlyn @emlyn.bsky.social · 17/03/2025

#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. #mathart #fractalart made in #PowerPoint.

Emlyn @emlyn.bsky.social · 16/03/2025

#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

171

Emlyn @emlyn.bsky.social · 15/03/2025

#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

Emlyn @emlyn.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

#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) #mathart

Emlyn @emlyn.bsky.social · 13/03/2025

#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). #mathart #fractalart #geometry #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. #mathart #fractal #fractalart #geometry #PowerPoint

Emlyn @emlyn.bsky.social · 10/03/2025

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. #mathart #fractal #fractalart #geometry

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

#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. #mathart #geometry

#MathArtMarch Day 6 (Single Line) There are quite a few #fractals made by repeatedly modifying a single line. I decided to go for one of the less well known ones (at least to me), the Fibonacci Word Fractal. Again, this is made completely in #PowerPoint. #mathart #geometry #fractal

#MathArtMarch Day 5 (Discovery) Continuing with my #fractals made in #PowerPoint, here's a an image of a nebula based on the Terdragon fractal. #mathart #geometry #fractal

This was all inspired by a @standupmaths.bsky.social video (youtu.be/b-Fa6HtvGtQ?...) with the actual technique from this other video youtu.be/O8l_awjgoMI?...

I use the Slide Zoom feature to create smaller copies of the whole slide. There are more here: emlyn.github.io/PowerPointFr... (you can download the PowerPoint files and play around with them if you want).
