Drawing with Equations: Can You Paint with Math?

Yes—you can draw with math. Seriously.

Using simple equations and a graphing tool like Desmos, you can create amazing works of art—hearts, flowers, emojis, and even Pokémon!

What is Desmos?

It’s a free online graphing calculator that lets you plot equations and see the magic happen in real time.

Try This: Draw a Heart ♥

Type this into Desmos:
(x² + y² – 1)³ – x²y³ = 0
Boom! You’ve just drawn a heart using only math.

Cool Things You Can Make

  • Mandalas from circles and curves
  • Spirals using exponential functions
  • Pixel art with lines and shading
  • Animated shapes using sliders!

Why Is This Fun?

When you see what math can do, it’s easier to remember the rules. And if you’re a visual learner, this is the perfect way to learn algebra without even realizing it.
