Just over thirty years ago, I chose one of Stuart Davis' paintings for a math project in 7th grade. That painting hung in my dining room until just this past summer when we moved to Mongolia to teach. This past week my ninth graders got the chance to do the same project: choose an artwork, write the equations of all the lines, and re-graph the artwork on a larger sheet of graph paper. With a bit of a "push" from me, five of my students choose Stuart Davis paintings.
Wherever you are, Thank you, Miss Thompson. The torch has passed.
