Summary:  

Fractal art is a relatively new, computer generated art form.  The designs are based on calculations of infinite fractal equations.  As they are the representations of complex mathematical equations, they are not hand-drawn, but created using computer programs.  “This is not the first time art and math have met – ancient mosaics, oriental rugs, and cubist art, for example, demonstrate the links between math and art.” 

This picture displays mathematical thinking – repeated patterns are displayed and to provide an aesthetically pleasing piece.

Things Learned:

Fractal art is only done using computer software.

My Question:

This answers my question about mathematical thinking as fractals are exploring the patterns and finding the beauty in what seems to be chaos.
