Abstract
A course on the connections between mathematics and the arts was recently taught by the first author at the Honors
College at Ball State University. The second author was a student in that course, who focused his final project on
one particular fractal, the Sierpinski triangle. In this paper, we explore the properties of the Sierpinski triangle and
discuss the creation of a Sierpinski star-polygon; we also present examples of digital artwork resulting from this
discussion.
