Open Source in 15 Seconds: MOMO

As a part of our city-wide Open Source exhibition, New Orleans-based artist MOMO stepped in to the classroom. Partnering with our Arts Education program and students from Kensington Creative and Performing Arts High School (K-CAPA) and Freire Charter School, MOMO worked with students for four hours a day, teaching them about practical geometry and using geometry exercises to enliven the math concepts.

The exercises propelled the students from the classroom to artistic creation, bringing the geometric tools to vibrant life. Students tried out their techniques on a practice wall, as seen in the video below, as they prepared to create a mural at the intersection of Frankford and Berks.
