DEMONSTRATION BY NANCY ROSIER
THE ART OF THEOREM PAINTING

Theorems are oil paintings on eggshell colored velvet. Each painting is hand painted by the artist with the use of a stencil. They are not mass-produced.

Each theorem starts as a numbered line drawing. The numbers represent position not color. The stencil is then cut from the line drawing. Each stencil and the correct color is then applied to the cotton velveteen fabric. The numbered stencils are then used in sequence to complete a finished theorem. Theorems are true American Folk Art which can be found in Museums throughout the United States.
