Seeing mathematics as art and art as mathematics: an exploration into function art using GeoGebra

This paper explores the innovative concept of integrating function art into STEAM education using GeoGebra. By investigating the potential of graphs of one-variable functions and conics to create artistic representations, we lay the groundwork for future classroom applications. Our exploration includes detailed examples and methods for using these mathematical concepts to enhance creativity and understanding in students. We also present sample outputs created by students, demonstrating the practical application of these activities. This work is part of an ongoing project aimed at pioneering new ways to enrich mathematics education through function art, ultimately contributing to the advancement of STEAM education.
