This paper presents a mixed methods study whose objective was to learn about a possible contribution of art to the understanding of mathematical concepts learned in the online asynchronous course “When Mathematics Meets Art.” The math concepts were tessellations, zero and infinity, golden section, spatial vision, dimension and self- similarity. The research sample consisted of 130 pre-service elementary school math teachers who submitted 20 different assignments created to reflect their math knowledge. The assignments were graded based on a pre- designed rubric. The preliminary results suggested that there is partial overlap between math and art assessments which makes the math-art connection innovative, intriguing, fun and inspiring.
