= Spring 2010 Art+Math=Love Renaissance unClass: Down the Rabbit Hole =

Jenny Eggleston of [|Egg in Nest studio] and Dr. Maria Droujkova of [|Natural Math], together with an awesome group of Research Triangle, North Carolina homeschooling families started the Renaissance project in 2009. This Spring, join us for an exciting trip down the rabbit hole, as we create our own mathematical and artistic interpretations of the Carroll's classic. We will explore cultural ramifications of "Alice in Wonderland" and connect its ideas to our projects. Each week, on Thursdays from 10 to 12 starting on February 11th, we will meet at the studio and work on an art project based on one of the twelve chapters from the book, exploring mathematics involved in it and building strong connection with art, science and math ideas from the past. We will also read a short article, essay or blog post about Alice each week, and add our thoughts to the powerful thread thousands of authors weaved around this weird, silly, and wonderful book. We are inviting a few new people to join us this Spring. The unClass is most appropriate for teens who love art, mathematics, or both, and for mature pre-teens. Math anxious people who want to develop their appreciation of mathematics through the humanities are very welcome. This is a high-energy group playing hard. Welcome to our Wonderland!
