Hello Fellow Bloggers,

It was fascinating to see how math has inspired science and art in so many different ways this week. Many times, we see math and science as rival factions, but the viewer starts to see the link between the two. Vesna discussed in this week's lecture how each one is interrelated in the way that math has developed values and proportions for the eye to experience through time and space. Mathematics is the conceptual analysis of relations, configurations, and measurements. Math, like art and science, is an imaginative language that provides an interpretation of objects and proportions.

  1. Haytham Alhazen, the author of The Book of Optics, was not only the inventor of the scientific method, but he was also able to establish the principles of modern physics. However, his work would later inspire artists in the manner that he contributed to the development of thought by math. The laws of vanishing points were used by artists to create the mathematical illusion of building proportions.

  2. Leon Battista on “de la Pintura”(on the painting) refers back to the understanding perception of the eye using math and art. With the understanding of the vanishing point which creates dimension in a painting, the artist was able to define a visual pyramid.

  3. Piero Della Francesca studied geometric perception, which is the intersection of the eyes that determines how we see objects.

Leonardo de Vinci's production, in which he used human proportions to construct an optical reality, was an intriguing work of art to me. He was able to show, using the human body, that perspective is a rational demonstration in which we interpret images and figures conveyed to the eye through pyramidal lines.

Math is used by artists and scientists to express their artwork in a variety of ways. Regardless of the matter, artists who use technologies such as computers to make art use math on a daily basis. Particularly when considering how artists must produce structures and images for their audiences, mathematical disciplines are designed to present the optical reality in their art.





Art and science is all around us, from the way we view objects to the geometric form of structural buildings and institutions. The connection between math, art, and science is that each is a practical discipline of research that involves the evolution of each other in order to continue creating. The juxtaposition is that without mathematical disciplines art and science could not exist; as they relate to math without even realizing the importance of it within.

    Good reference to optical viewpoints in your discussion of the connection between art and math. Artists indeed do use proportions whether intentionally or subconsciously. I didn't make the connection between artists utilizing modern technology to make their art, although now I realize that it makes a lot of sense.

      Hi Yuliana! I enjoyed your references to "The Book of Optics" and Da Vinci's Vitruvian man. I liked how you focused on the history of optics in art as a way to show the closeness of art and science; the science of optics and art seem to go hand in hand which is pretty cool. Also, your images are nice!

      I did want to push back on your equation of art, science, and math all as "imaginative language that provides an interpretation of objects and proportions." With math I can see how you would make the comparison to language but regarding science and art, the language comparison doesn't seem right. Science seems much more like a community of scientists all working from the same philosophical presuppositions to communally arrive at conclusions about the physical universe and art seems to be non-linear and non-grammatical explorations of the unknown. How are science and art "imaginative languages?"

                                                                 WEEK 1: TWO CULTURES Welcome fellow bloggers,    Vesna and Snow view the two realms of science and art, as two cultures divided by perceptions and assumptions of each other's worlds that are subsequently entrenched and repeated across institutions. It's fascinating to see Vesna talk of a bridge between the two cultures; this "bridge" can only be sought by changing our paradigms regarding them. When it comes to art and science, we don't have to think of them as two different parts of the brain; "there is no left or right brain viewpoint" that determines whether a person is more imaginative or linear. There is a middle ground that allows art and science to coexist. Especially in today's world, where artists are using techno...

 Hello, bruins Link:https://elements.envato.com/earth-and-sun-from-space-orbit-DRSG9AQ We began this week's class material with a compelling guest speaker who, I believe, set the tone for the remainder of the week. This week's topic is space and art, which I would never have combined in a real-world application. The guest speaker who began this week laid a solid framework for how these two cultures interact. I found her work to be incredibly interesting and necessary; it puts into perspective Vesna's statement that we must take care of our planet as we begin exploring biomes outside of planet Earth. Much of the guest speaker's work is devoted to recreating biomes that would be used if the earth ceased to be a habitual location for humans to exist. This made me think about how much effort is put into ensuring that the human population has other options for living, while the guest speaker researched which animals may exist in these man-created biomes.

HELLO BRUINS,    As Ruth West raises questions for us to consider on how biotechnology and art affect our daily lives and where the two domains fit in the world, I believe it is critical to shaping your own  understanding of it and break down the stigmas associated with the worlds of art and biology.                                             link;  https://we-make-money-not-art.com/category/biotech-art/ As a humanities major, I believe that few courses have such a viewpoint that incorporates and emphasizes the ways in which art impacts the biotech industry and vice versa the ways in which research can be seen in the world of art. However, as Vesna points out in her introduction clip, whether we realize it or not, artists are working in the laboratory, merging their two worlds. Joe Davis, a pioneer who invented the concepts art and biot...
