Thirty-two McCurdy Elementary School students receive awards in 2010 Missouri Council of Teachers of Mathematics math, art contest.<\/p>\n

Thirty-two McCurdy Elementary School students in the Hazelwood School District took home awards from the 2010 Missouri Council of Teachers of Mathematics (MCTM) math and art contest, seven more than last year. Of the 32, seven earned blue ribbons.<\/p>\n

The contest illustrates the connection between art and math, and geometry in particular, said art teacher Linda Crull.<\/p>\n

This is the third year in a row that third grader Nick Mitalovich has won this contest. He received a blue ribbon for his computer-generated art. He said it doesn\u2019t matter to him whether he uses a machine or he draws by hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cI liked the pattern, it looked like triangles,\u201d he said of his blue and white design.<\/p>\n

Fifth grader Mia Garland won first place for her geometric shapes that she glued to a larger piece of paper.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about touching people and they are holding their kids,\u201d she said of her design, which used the works of artist William H. Johnson as a template.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe tried to make it look like a real picture except with shapes,\u201d Garland added.<\/p>\n

For fifth grader Thiem Van, he started his first place work by using pencil then markers and crayons to crate fractals while Crull gave directions about fractals. Fractals are rough or fragmented geometric shape<\/a>s that can be split into parts, each of which is a reduced-size copy of the whole.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought about a tree because it\u2019s natural. When I was almost finished, I put a heart in it so people could see it,\u201d Van said.<\/p>\n

Fourth grader Alexys Lorimier used crosses colored in pink and green for her first place drawing. \u201cIt was awesome. I liked it; they are all over the page.\u201d<\/p>\n

Blue ribbon winners had their artwork put on display at the Missouri State University in Springfield in April.<\/p>\n
