Many Civilizations have used Triangles in
their art and history. I will show you many
of them in this section of the powerpoint.
The design on the bottom was found at Pompeii, a
Greek settlement. Also, the Greek letter Delta
resembles a triangle. In addition to Art and
Language, the Greeks contributed to many
Geometric ideas about Triangles.
The Aztecs used Triangles in deceptions
of their Gods and Kings. They also used
them on their calendars and their
pyramids.
The Mayans and Aztecs had similar styles
of art, and they both had Pyramids. This
included these intricate patterns on your
left.
The Egyptians used Triangles on their
Hieroglyphics, combining with other
shapes to create an object. They also
used Triangles in the Pyramids of Giza.
Christians believe in the Holy Trinity, God the Father,
God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. This is
represented by a Triangle. Also, the number 3 is an
important number in Christianity, making a lot of
important things represented by a triangle, such as
the three wise men and the three times Jesus was
tempted by Satan.
The following slides will show you
examples of Triangles in Modern Day Art
and how they are used/ It will also
include the classification of Triangles This Triangle is Equiangular and
Equilateral.
These Triangles all serve the purpose of
creating an illusion of the art rotating.
The Triangle labeld Green is Isosceles
and Acute.
These Triangles provide a unique look to
this painting and really catches the
viewer eye as the centerpiece.
The Red Triangle with green sides is and
Obtuse, Scalene triangle
This painting is also, nothing but triangles.
It’s alternating colors jump out at you
along with the fact the triangles are all
connected.
The Green Triangle that is pointed at by
a red arrow is a right, scalene triangle.
This Painting’s triangles use their sharp
edges to help “curve” along the “arc”.
Although this piece of art contains no actual
triangles, the shapes can be divide into some. Like
shown. This particular Triangle is Equilateral and
Equiangular.
These shapes help the art feel connected
