CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
As stated by Hope Hickman (2020), The world is full of
mystery and attractions. The workings of the world have yet to
disclose themselves through science, and imagination seems a
stronger force than the scientific method. Discovery happens
daily through the investigation of trial and play. There is lesser
duality in an innovative mind between art and mathematics.
When boxes exist that allocate science, exploration and
questioning to a particular discipline, we are limiting our
possibilities for exploration in all realms of humanity.
Mathematics can improve art. Art can improve mathematics.
Math and art can combine to synthesize great frontiers. They are
different, and are perceived as divergent but the duality between
the two is not as simple as black and white. Mathematics can
improve art. Art can improve mathematics. Math and art can

are perceived as divergent but the duality between the two is not
as simple as black and white.

“There is geometry in the humming of the strings.
There is music in the spacing of the spheres,” Pythagoras
once said. For this ancient philosopher and mathematician,
the elegance of mathematics was evident in the beauty and
harmony of art. However, this link between math and art
remains obscure to many, even though math has always
appeared in various art forms. For instance, math appears in
classical art’s emphasis on symmetry and proportion, in the
way the Asian art of origami adheres to the rules of geometry,
and in the use of algorithms to generate 21 st-century digital
art. The relationship between math and art is reciprocal: art
serves math, and math serves art. Scientists use art to
explore and express their ideas. Art can demonstrate the
elegance of mathematical theory and provides
mathematicians with a way to make the subject more
accessible. Students are more receptive when they are able to
visualize abstract concepts, especially if this is achieved
through beautiful artwork. (Happerset, 2020)
In Tagum City, as per observation, some students in
STI Tagum College endured a dilemma concerning the duality
of arts and mathematics. This impacts its phenomena
regarding the relationship of the mentioned subject matter.
Students tend to diverse the fact in aiming some aspects and
objectives from a certain point of view. These issues are still
prevailing, specifically even at the present time. Hence, it
should be addressed to help the students to solve this
problem. And in addition to the quality education this must be
the one who will be cultivated and instilled to the following
subject.
Background of the Study
The combination of mathematics and art is worthy of exploration
because these are two areas that are vastly different, and critically
misunderstood. Mathematics can be complex, beautiful, and stirring.
Outside of the academic and professional communities, math is
generally seen as either a daunting, painful exercise, or as a subject
reserved for the less creative. Art can be structured and patterned,
while still remaining attractive (Ladula, 2016)
This project will aid in not only bridging the gap between two
seemingly opposite fields, but also help contextualize and make the
content of both professions relatable for the average
person.
The topic of this project is, put simply, to take a look at what happens
when a piece of art is inspired by, or constructed from, an element of
mathematics. With a select group of artists already using math as a
component medium, it is relevant to examine both their artistic pieces
and mathematical choices in order to gain a frame of mind as to the
current confluence of the two fields. Practically, it makes sense to
exercise this idea by creating, from scratch, a unique piece of art that
draws heavily on some aspect of mathematics for direction. The
ultimate manifestation of this thesis is a pair of math-based artworks,
with their respective mathematical theory and artistic methodology
discussed in this paper.
Research Questions
The main purpose of the study was to answer the following questions:
[Link] Art contribute to the understanding of Mathematical Concept in
terms of;
1.1. Symmetry
1.2. Algebra
1.3 Geometry
[Link] the two worlds assist in building each other in terms of;
2.1. Music
2.2. Dance
2.3. Architecture
2.4. Painting
3. Does the teaching of Art and Mathematics integrate and effective tool
in terms of;
3.1. Reading
3.2. Writing
3.3. Kinesthetic to persons’ Vision Impairment
Significance of the Study
This study will be undertaken to find out the duplexity linking to Art
and Mathematics by the students of STI College Tagum Incorporated. The
finding of this study gives great importance to the following beneficiaries:
To the students, this study will benefit students as they will be
aware of the connection between art and mathematics. They will be given
information about the duplexity between art and mathematics.
To the teachers, This research will be very beneficial to teachers
because it will provide additional information and knowledge about the
duplexity linking Art and Mathematics.
To the future researcher, this study will serve as a foundation and
guide if they will conduct a similar study to ours.
Scope and Delimitation
This research focused into the analysis of duplexity linking to Art
and Mathematics. The study takes into account the students' personal
information, including their name (optional), gender, age, and section.
The study will be limit to 5 male and 5 female Tourism and
Management students enrolled in the first semester of the 2022-2023
school year at STI College Tagum Incorporated. Each respondent will be
given a questionnaire to complete. To avoid bias and obtain objective
perceptions, students will be chosen from five different sections.
CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
This section provides an overview of previous research on
knowledge sharing and intranets. It was important to set the context of the
literature review work by first providing the information and sources.

Methodology
The goal of the current qualitative study is to examine and understand the
experiences that were gained during the suggested creation process
resulting from the interaction between art and mathematics. The three
steps of the approach are as follows: Moment 1: Introduction to
mathematics and art as "means of doing art." Moments 2 and 3 involve
social experimentation and redefining education as a model of experience,
respectively. For the purposes of this analysis, art came into focus as a
potential route to understanding how one discipline—in this case, physics,
mathematics, and art itself—is produced. The way each participant creates
meaning and approaches knowledge based on the subject's unique
experience constitutes art as a method, according to the current inquiry.
Additionally, art is a reflection of a way of thinking that serves as a record
of thought. This means that information and approaches to understanding
the world are also represented through art, in addition to concepts and
ideologies. The development of values, skills, knowledge, and ways of
thinking that are still in use today can be traced back to art [18].
In the early phase of the inquiry, a preliminary diagnostic was established
taking into account a number of factors that contribute to the population
proposal.
Research Design
The Rural Educational Institution chose sixteen students from the 10th
grade and eight from the 11th grade for the project. The students in both
grades were between the ages of 16 and 19. This decision was taken
taking into account prior math and physics expertise as well as the
hourly intensity in the relevant fields.
Moments 1 and 2 involved 26 pupils in the 10th and 11th grades,
whereas Moment 3 involved six kids who willingly chose to take part.
