first off a discussion (feel free to join in especially if partial to either subject) about art and mathematics. Comparing and Contrasting:
Mathematics is a science of patterns and structures.
Art involves patterns and structures.
Math is beautiful in deduction being unique to the solver (in a methodical way).
Art is creative in reflection and integrity of an individual artist.
Math uses the right brain and is rational, analytical, logical, and practical. Art uses left brain and is creative, reflective, harmonic, and aesethic.
Math is precise and limited within the bounds of a numeric algebraic structured language. One is layered atop the other to explain each other. A formal code is required to relay information.
Art however is less precise and can use practically any medium and can go under any form to get a message across.
But the one thing they share is beauty. A unique aura of being pleasing. Even if we subjected to only geometry as being visually stimulating in mathematics we include it as art and vice versa. However even long equations proofed out in equate a beauty of a quilt. The first and last points holding the hemline. Fractals, physical applications, shapes, engineering schematics, number lines, scales, graphes all share a coherent form of design that can relate to art. Some famous artists who shared a scientific view as a form of ratio to art: Leonardo Da Vinci, Durer, Ernst, Seurat, Mondrian, and Le Corbusier.
Even the Egyptians formulated a "Sacred Geometry" to their architecture and artwork. As many ancient civilizations. Even Texaco stations of years gone were formulated into a precise shape. Washington D.C. is a mathematical city in its design. (more on that later).
Next post will be some art work (all my own done by math programs).
