Geometry has many applications in the visual arts; some are obvious and familiar while others are surprising and unexpected. Applications in art appeal to students who might otherwise be uninterested in geometry and they help students appreciate geometry in a different way. After seeing geometry in art, students start finding geometry all around them. In this talk, I will share some of the ways that I use to help students understand topics in transformations, lines and curves, proportion, and topology.
