Dissection puzzles have a long history in the world of visual arts and

mathematics. One of the most famous types of dissection puzzles is the

tangram, a traditional Chinese puzzle made up of seven geometric shapes

that can be arranged to create a wide variety of shapes and images.

The art of tangrams has been used for centuries to promote creative

thinking, problem-solving skills, and spatial reasoning. By working with

tangrams, individuals can exercise their minds and enhance their cognitive

abilities in a fun and interactive way.

In this workshop we’ll dive into tangram creations using special sets

of pieces that can be printed in a traditional letterpress, producing prints

from our tangram creations.

Workshop Objectives:

Introduce participants to the history and significance of tangrams in the

world of visual arts and mathematics.

Teach participants how to create and manipulate tangram shapes to form

various designs and images.

Encourage participants to explore their creativity and problem-solving skills

through hands-on tangram activities.

Foster collaboration and communication among participants through group

tangram challenges.

Provide a platform for participants to showcase their creations and discuss

the process behind their designs.
