Mathematics Influence On Art And Science


    In research that I have done this week I've noticed that mathematics has really influenced art and science throughout the years. I think that the main takeaways I had was the symmetry that is in the art and how it comes from math. For example, when people draw sketches or portraits of you they are trying to make your face symmetrical and by doing that have to use math. Also I learned that math has been used in art and sculpture all the way back to 5th century BCE. 


    Not only is math involved with art but it also is a key component of science. In further research I learned that math is very similar to science in the way that mathematics works to solve equations and problems as the same for science. There are closely related and used within each other.

    I agree that both art and science both have math playing a significant role in them. In science basically everything that occurs needs mathematics in order to function. As you mentioned math also has a big role in art whether it is for symmetry , ratios , or for big art models. Art and science both are definitely similar in this matter.

    I also never realized how much math is used in art. I not a particularly artsy person, but I have taken a couple art classes and I never realized that I was unconsciously using math. In my art experience of drawing portraits, I never once thought of using math but I was using it.

Week 1 Blog Assignment

Bryce Martin-Grud Desma 9 3/30/22 Week 1 Blog Assignment      As a freshmen coming into UCLA I was very nervous. I didn't know what to expect. I play baseball as well and have had the lucky privilege to come here and continue my athletic career as well as get an amazing education.      I believe that is the main idea that makes me nervous, just being forced to learn how to manage it all and get everything done on time. I think that coming in here and seeing the students who do not play sports it's a lot different than the kids who do. I feel like some of the normal students think that we get everything handed to us and its just really not the case at all. We have to really work hard and the grind never stops. They think that we get so much help academically which we is not wrong but at the same time the same help we get is offered to the normal students if they were to just reach out to the peer learning service. I just think that students and students athl...

WEEK 6 Blog BIOTECH + ART

 Bryce Martin-Grud 5/6/2022 DESMA 9 BioTech + Art     The idea of BioArt is often times a pretty controversial topic and practice. The idea that people are creating art with living organisms while using scientific processes such as biotechnology is an idea that some people cannot wrap their head around. This practice is used to shed light on " societal, philosophical, and environmental issues and can help enhance public understanding of advances in biotechnology and genetic engineering ,"as stated by Ahmet F.      Researchers and these scientific artists have to defend their work due to the  criticism of people saying that their work is animal cruelty. There are two sides to the story but in my eyes if they are not injuring or affecting the animal in anyway then I don't believe that there is a problem with this newly transformed art. I think that the art can only be beneficial in ways that people must have to understand.  ...

Bryce Martin-Grud Desma 9 5/27/22 Space + Art      Throughout the years I've always been fascinated by space. This week I got to take a deeper look into space itself and the art behind it. I think that we all have a picture in our head what space looks like and how it is portrayed in pictures and even movies. I think that pictures and art both are influencers in the study of space.      An artist by the name of Richelle Gribble has been very influential in her works on space. Her message is "to respond to humanity's relationship to space"(Gribble). She explains through her work how we " A DNA strand symbolizes the origin of all life ghosting through a crowd of people constructing a DNA strand together, forming a ladder to the stars. This symbolizes how our humanity and collaborative capabilities take us to new heights." This just adds to how she is trying to bring the people together and shed on a light on our connection to space. ...
