Mrs. Mathis & the Mona Lisa


I couldn't wait to share these photos with my students. Here I am standing in front of the Mona Lisa by Leonardo DaVinci at the Louvre in Paris, France. I first saw this painting many years ago as a backpacking college student traveling through Europe for the summer. I recently returned to the city of lights to celebrate my 20th wedding anniversary during the school break and took in all the art the city had to offer. I love this Sonia DeLaunay painting at the Pompidou Centre. This would be a great artwork for integrating math and geometry, especially circles, radius, diameter and circumference.
