Week 2 Math + Art

Week 2 Math + Art

This picture describes how the arm muscles
work and the math involved with them.

We as humans fail to realize the   

amount of art, science and math 

around us as we go through life.

I learned through the

readings this week how important 

these interconnected  parts of life 

are.

Math affects art and science in 

every way possible from the 

angles that our bodies move and 

the amount of velocity one can 

produce.  

       All of these which started with the realization of how much effect math has on art and science. Math allows images to be detailed with calculations to an exact later influencing how art and science it done. I was stunned to know that math was not approached when it came to art rather was shunned away and kept to 2 dimensional pictures. Math creates photos that were never thought of before with being able to know angles and how much influence they have over paintings. Linda Dalrymple Henderson mentions how math has influenced art so much. 

As you can see this a very
complicated picture but if you
break it down it is very basic math.

      The picture below gives a great example of how something can be so complicated yet so easily drawn. This picture just gives you a hint of the influence math has on art and science. From atoms the smallest unit of measure being described in science to how images are drawn using measuring units in art.

I learned how most people are turned away possibly from their teachers in math but what these people fail to realize is they are actually using the math in their art. Artist and scientists are always using math to equate what they are trying to either figure out or create.

Math is used in every painting ever
from the hardest painting to the easiest.

                 The juxtaposition between art, math and science is they are so closely interrelated

and influence one another. For example, if you mess up a pour in chemistry it will completely alter 

your entire project and the same goes for in art if you mess up a line it can change your entire drawing.
