Week 2 Math and Art
Artists, making use of the concepts of mathematics, are able to represent the world better. The first idea I learned from this week’s lecture is the formulation of linear perspective, which allows artists to represent three dimensional objects on a two dimensional canvas. The idea is based on the mathematical principles of optics and associated with a “vanishing point”. By proper scaling of objects at different distances, we are able to create a visually three dimensional image. The second concept is the golden ratio or the divine ratio, which is obtained by dividing a line so that the ration of the shorter part to the longer part is the same as that of the longer part to the whole line. This idea has been implemented widely throughout history, including the pyramids, ancient Greek sculptures and da Vinci’s paintings. The golden ration produces a harmonic effect that is also existent in nature. The third aspect is about dimensions. Artists became intrigued by...
