The Getty Museum is a beautiful museum in the hills of Los Angeles.  I went on a field trip there recently and saw many examples of uses of Geometry.  Click on this: GETTY MUSEUM and link to a Powerpoint presentation that shows you examples of geometry in art work and in the architecture of the museum.  I'm thinking about adding a  quiz you can take after watching the presentation, and then turn in to me for extra credit.  Ask me about this, if you are interested.  (Be sure you have PowerPoint open on your computer, before you click to go to the Getty Powerpoint presentation.)
