Introduction: Pi Artwork

There's always art that can be found in math, in this project you can create your own unique artwork that's based on Pi!

Supplies

You'll need:

  • Graph paper
  • color pencils/markers
  • ruler

Step 1: Draw a Frame

Draw a box with a pencil or other writing tool. This will be where you'll be coloring in.

Step 2: Choose Colors

Choose 10 distinct colors to represent each of the 10 digits, from 0-9.

Step 3: Make a Legend

Create a legend on the top (or bottom) of your page. Assign a color to each digit. This will be used to tell what each color in your art work is supposed to represent.

Step 4: Color in the Grid

Now it's time to create your Pi Artwork. Color in each grid based on what number would have been written there. For example, the first 5 digits of pi are 3.1415, and in my legend 1 is red, 2 is red-orange, 3 is orange, 4 is yellow, and 5 is light green. So my first 5 squares are going to be colored in orange, red, yellow, red, light green.

Step 5: Keep Coloring...

It's a long process but it's also really calming! You can color as many or as little rows as you like.

Step 6: Finished!

Your Pi Artwork is done! You can frame it or put up on your wall. I colored in the first 400 digits of pi but you can always add more rows.
