Given how busy next month is for so many of us, I thought I’d announce the theme for January Squares early. Some of you might have guessed it last week in ‘Signs of Confusion‘ or work it out before you scroll past the image below.

Have you guessed the theme? Your first thought might have been shapes. Well shapes are part of the theme, but are not the only part. In addition to shapes and lines your photographic squares could also explore the size, distance and position of objects. Have you guessed the theme now? No worries if not as I will confirm it in the next paragraph.

Squares in January is a chance to celebrate one of the oldest branches of mathematics – geometry. I have high hopes for multiple and varied squares in the new year as geometry is used by animators, architects, artists, astronomers, carpenters, cartographers, designers, engineers, landscape gardeners, navigators, scientists, urban planners, and . . . . . well everyone really.

We will begin on 1st January, and as long as your image is square you can post daily, weekly, or whatever frequency suits you and your blog. The tag is GeometricJanuary and I’ll confirm the url pattern with more geometric ideas in December.
