Math + Art

The combination of math and art has always been in my mind symbiotic. Without art, most of math would have never been able to be conceptualized. The fourth dimension was first developed and interpreted through art and cubism (Leonardo, 205). Later the concept of geometry could not have been communicated if it weren't for the help of artists of the time (Abbot, 4). These are all interesting concepts considering the implications of these concepts and further cementing the symbiosis of the two fields.

Triangles within triangles (Johnson)

In art today the presence of math is equally present.

The above image is actually mathematically derived. Often times people don't think that math can inspire art or even art can inspire math. Additionally people may also say that math isn't beautiful. In this image it's clear to see that math can be beautiful. The perspective provided displays a converging point similar to what was discussed in the lecture. What I found interesting was the derivation of art from the human body. 

Leonardo DaVinci's Virturvian Man

In my mind the juxtaposition of Math, Science and Art lies in the fact that Math and Science is mostly used as a means to define things verbally and numerically while art attempts to show these concepts. This ranges from the human body to triangles, waves to circles.
