Understanding the relationship between art and mathematics,
one can look at examples from across history. Look at Leonardi Da vinci blended
the arts and mathematically before art and math were associated. Through the
Renaissance, new creative artistic styles came about through imaginative
techniques. Perspective drawing blends both mathematics and art conceptually
into creating three-dimensional images on a flat surface.
Along with perspective drawing, artist also used multiple point perspective drawing created depth to art that had previously not been achieved. Using right angels, vantage points creates a horizons and allows for creating great city life scenes. Linear perspective drawing takes geometric proportions of humans to create a mathematically proportionate image.
Before mathematical correctness had been introduced to art, disproportionate images had been portraying human beings. The introductions of math into art added a sense of realism that previously had not been conveyed. Without the addition of math into art, there would never be the realism that is so prevalent

Interview with Nicholas Gessle
Hi Brett, I really like how you tied in history inot your blog and brought up Leonardo Di Vinci because i brought him up as well. I also like your pictures that you incorportaed with the vilage of people! Bye :)
ReplyDeleteI like that you discussed that math actually enhances art. It makes it seem more real because the mathematical formulas add exact measurements and equal proportions to images. I did not realize what effect math had on art before this class. Now, I see how both greatly benefit from each other. Great job, Brett!
ReplyDeleteBrett, really enjoyed reading your blog and how you used the evolution and examples from art through history. This gave me specific examples on how art and mathematics was related not only today, but throughout history. Bringing in different perspectives in your blog was a great idea and I definitely learned a lot from your blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your post! I loved how you were able to use both the elements of math and art to send your point across. Back in elementary school we used to draw pictures with the depth perception and its really a great example of math in art. The pictures really prove your point!
ReplyDeleteBrett, you have quite the blog here. I enjoyed your pictures, they really helped me visualize your explanations. The Leonardo Da Vinci example was exceptional. Have a nice day :)
