This chapter details two ways we have incorporated art into the mathematics education of in-service mathematics teachers. The first example allows teachers to visualize whole numbers as configurations of shapes that highlight features of prime versus composite numbers. The second example allows teachers to explore the relationships of various features of a swinging pendulum, reason about the mathematical relationships between observed quantities, and explain visually pleasing wave motions using these relationships.
