Is Math Important to Artists?

Most people have trouble seeing how math is applicable to their particular field of study. Artists are no exception. Although they may not enjoy math, being primarily left-brained people, a basic understanding of math concepts is essential for everyone and these skills will be used by everyone for their entire lives. Artists in particular have several practical applications for math skills. Visual artists can use math when making canvases and learning about perspective. Music students need mathematical skills to read music and keep time. Theatre kids need to learn about math for lighting and technical classes. And dance students need math to choreograph their numbers.
