Week 2: Math + Art
I think it would be foolish to limit ourselves and not see the opportunities math has in art or art has in math. Nothing is thought of as being strictly “artistic” or “scientific” or “mathematical” anymore. This can be seen with the beloved pastime Origami. It may have started off as being simply viewed as a cultural appreciation. However, looking deeper, the math behind all the folds and making the shapes shows how multi-dimensional origami truly is. When explored, this existence of math and art expresses and creates something beautiful. The presence of math and art can be seen all over nature. As soon as someone looks out his or her window or when he or she walks out the front door. It is all around us and makes us what we are. Nature shows the coexistence of the arts/sciences/math in the waves of our oceans to the trees of our forests and all the way to the highest peaks of our mountains. Further, Marc Frantz, shows the unity of math and art
