week 2


When I first read the topic for Unit 2, It was hard to imagine how math has played into and contributed to the development of art. However, once I watched lectures, it was very clear that mathematics play a large part in the arts. As much as math plays a part in arts, art plays a part in math. If you want to create any sort of shape in art, you usually have to use some math to create order within your image. In the image below, it is a simple mathematical procedure which is creating art. pastedGraphic.pdfBrahmagupta contributed into the development of the concept of 0. The concept of 0 is large in graphs and graphs can often be the start of artistic imagery. 
This is another image which was created through graphing. pastedGraphic_1.pdf
Perspective, including linear perspective, vertex, and vanishing point derived from mathematics and the concept of three dimensional and two dimensional planes. This is a concept which although used in mathematics, has played a large role in art. Using lines and calculations, one can create an accurate perspective when making a picture. pastedGraphic_2.pdf
This is an example of perspective in art.
