Math & Art 

In the lectures and readings, I have realized some of the crucial connection between mathematics and art. The lecture video has mentioned that computer, science, mathematics and art are closely related. Most of the people claimed that they do not draw well and therefore they do not like art and prefer science and math. Yet, it is not exactly true because theorists found out that human beings actually have talent of both. Fuller indicated that we are all genius but some process de-geniuses them. Additionally, paintings always consist of mathematics such as geometry and generalization. Other than this, from the article of math and music, writer also stated the connection between math and music. We often use computer to transform music. There are actually many simple synthesis technique. In the article of " Vanishing points and looking at art", author has talked about how we looked at art in a mathematics way, such as how we can draw parallel line and vanishing points. 

  

From this piece of art, we can see that art and mathematics have close relations. This is from the article "Vanishing and looking at art". According to the vanishing point theorem, of two or more lines in real world are parellel, but not parellel in the picture, they have same vanishing point. I think this is very useful in our daily life. When we are planning to draw some objects, we have to show the distance between different objects in the picture, which is very challenging. In the following picture, we have to show that the road is getting farther and farther from our point of view. This is how we use math to integrate our drawings.

 I have learned that artists often use mathematics to draw their painting, in other words, they put some mathematical element in their painting, which we would not find out before. If we pay attention, we will find out that despite math and art are two complete unrelated criteria. they can still be used in the same piece of art. 

 

Juxtaposition defines as an act placing together with comparison and contrast. Science, art and mathematics are juxtaposition. They are interdependent. For example, we use computer to write and modify music, we often use mathematics to look at art, such as angle, parallel and geometry. These are all related to mathematics. A piece of art consist different criteria of thinking. Artists must have tremendous talent to draw an art with great inspiration. An artists need to integrate their thinking with art and science to create an excellent work.
