So excited to share I found a way to keep visual patterns up for good—and it got a great new makeover too! Check it out: fawnnguyen.substack.com/p/visual-pat...

Lynda Barry did not squeeze your heart and simultaneously explain the point of all art with the barest of line drawings so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."
HOW TO LOOK AT ART by Lynda Barry

In the first panel, a dog-headed woman, a mother, looks at a painting in the "Madonna with Baby Jesus" vein. A small blobby child is standing next to her.

Mother: IM NOT SURE HOW TO LOOK AT ART.
Child: WHATS SPOSTA HAPPEN?

In the second panel the dog-headed mother holds up her hands (paws?) trying to explain to the child.

Mother: SOMETHING BIG. A REVELATION.
SUDDENLY YOU JUST UNDERSTAND.

In the third panel dog-headed mother goes back to looking at the painting. The child holds up their arms to be lifted.

Mother: NOT SURE HOW TO MAKE IT HAPPEN
Child: HOW BOUT LIFT ME UP SO I CAN SEE BETTER

In the last panel, the dog-headed mother is holding the child, their position mirrored by the Madonna and baby Jesus in the painting.

I participated last summer and it really energized me. So great to work problems with others, and to hear from mathematicians about their work. I will definitely be attending again. Two thumbs up! #iTeachMath #MTBoS #MathsToday

I let my students turn in their papers one class period late if they write me haikus about elements from the periodic table and I love this one so much, it reminds me of people I’ve dated ☠️☠️
