Blog Two: Math + Art

Math + Art


If you are an artist, you can't be a fan of math. If your a mathematician, you can't be a fan of art. But why is that? Can both correlate and work together? After going over this weeks material I have came to the conclusion that the two go hand in hand. It started in the 1300s where Duccio Di Buoninsegna was the first to incorporate depth and the changing of inclines of lines both above and bellow eye level which in turn changed prospective of arts forever. Filippo Brunelleschi came in next with his incorporation of a single vanishing point as well as the utilization of parallel lines to convert the vanishing point (mathematical concepts). The early influences of a vanishing point and other similar objectives brought on more and more advances of art using math, such as 3 dimensional figures on a 2 dimensional canvas. Mathematics in art have taken off since then, in the lecture video she talks about 3D. Three dimensional films are a phenomenon in todays film and art industry, the technology is so advanced to where you feel as if you can reach out and physically touch the art, like it is literally coming towards you.
These films are created through math concepts, computer technology, where in which math drives reality through computers themselves. 3D technology is the extreme case, there are much more simple concepts of math and art combined in artistic figures such as Origami as well as puzzles. People incorporate mathematical concepts in the decor of homes such as tile organization in flooring, as well as dimensions of architecture. Math and Art are tied at the hip, that is something people so easily lose awareness of.

    It's so true that math, science, and computers have allowed people who typically wouldn't visit a museum to "experience" art at its fullest via films. I like how you noted that people lose awareness of how much art they are surrounded by, because I know many people who claim they "don't like art" forget about digital media and even the paint color of their room. I know personally, I'm not necessarily the most creative, but changing my room color and enjoying media definitely constitute as being artistic.

    I agree with him in that I also believe that art and math can be correlated. I found it very interesting how these two different subjects were correlated way back in the 1300s. I like how you used 3D in TV as an example. I wouldn't even think about 3D in television as art and math working together.

    I like how you captivate the reader from the beginning and the blog is well organized. I also found it interesting how you talk about the history or math and art being connected, and this was something new. It also opened my eyes to see how people's can use math to decorate their home. I did not realize that there was math involved in the tile patterns. Good job boss

Blog Four: Medicine + Technology + Art

Medicine + Technology + Art If you did not know, I am a student athlete here at UCLA. Specifically, I play football, which is considered the most dangerous collegiate sport (Thomas, J). There are injuries nearly every day, either at practice or a game due to the extreme physicality. The game of football has been pretty good to me, supplying me with a scholarship for school, but the physicality the game requires has done a decent amount of damage to my body. I have torn my medial meniscus, broken my right clavicle, as well as small tear in my right patellar tendon. Fortunately, due to the advances of the medicine and technology I find a way to get back to 100%, many before me were not as fortunate. But currently there is no more talked about or common injury than the concussion, concussions make up nearly 7.4% of all college football injuries (Football Injuries Data). There is even a movie featuring Will Smith called "Concussion" that was made to highlight the dangers of

Blog Three: Robotics + Art

Arts + Robotics The world we live in is constantly evolving. The technological world we live in is continuously experiencing new technological advances. The first technological advancements began simply with the light bulb created by Thomas Edison or the printing press, where now there are talks about militarized robots and robots that should interact with people on a civil level. I believe mass media is what led to the nonstop growth of new technology. Humans are on a constant search for a simpler lifestyle, the less hard work and manual labor we can do, the better. The main concept I want to discuss is the component of robotics and art. When I think of Robotics one movie sticks out to me more than the rest, "I, Robot". The movie "I, Robot" featuring Will Smith was very entertaining and action packed, but that is not the reason that it stuck out to me after going through this weeks lectures and readings. The reason it sticks out to me is because it utiliz
