I'm so excited, in fact, that I drew some pendant/pin designs so I can get to work on stuff RIGHT AWAY! I'm sharing a sneak preview here. BONUS: some of my real life handwriting.
What say you, men? Would you put this thing around your neck?
(NB: The graph paper I used has quarter-inch squares, to give an idea of size and scale.)
The first idea I had was highly-abstract (though also still totally concrete) representation of pi. Using squares of different dimensions to represent numbers (a 1x1 square = 1, a 2x2 square = 2, etc), I could layer them to make a pendant that looked geometric and abstract on the face of it, but still contained a literal mathematical core. The idea went through a number of iterations:





I would be working with brass, copper, and nickel, hence the color choices in the colored pencils. In addition to doing with e what I just did with pi (see the image before the jump?), I also sketched out some ideas for Fibonacci pendants. My favorite iteration is this one:
Classes start September 15th and run for about a month. By October I plan to have one of these guys at least partially done. Stay tuned!
