Abstract

Art and Mathematics evolved in parallel, alongwith changes in our ways of conceiving and representing "reality": Classical Art (rigidity of Euclidean Geometry); Perspective and Projective Geometry (points at infinity as ordinary); non-Euclidean Geometry; "Synthetic Geometry" and deconstruction of rigid forms. Web Technologies and Multimediality offer new ways to introduce Mathematics starting from artworks. We discuss an innovative "teaching/visualization project" based on the Web, in 4 major parts: 1) a didactical path, based on a book on "Mathematics and Art" adopted in PhD Courses and transferrable to e-learning platforms; 2) a Web Portal "MArs where interrelationship between Art and Mathematics is used to extract mathematical concepts out of Art; 3) a project "SCIENAR", aimed at creating scientific scenarios based on mathematical models; 4) a project "ARTEMA", aimed at stimulating and supporting virtual mobility of artists and cultural players interested in mathematical models.
