If three or more points are collinear along a line, then incident with a straight line, the images will thus be collinear. Therefore, the characteristics of incidence, collinearity, and concurrence are principle requisites of my work." (Singer, 1999)
According to Singer the world has entering on many levels 'geometrical rules, axioms, methods and carefully thought-out plans…" (1999) However, the method that tends to be the most "imaginative and creative" is the geometrical method which is stated by Singer to have "provided a sustained interest and impetus" for him in his art. (Singer, 1999)
It is interesting to note the statement of Singer that "…many of the elements, straight lines, arcs, elliptical sections, parabolas, hyperbolas, epicycloids, and spirals, accelerate the speed of the viewer's eye through the picture, thus spatial experience is altered in time. Color vibration heightens the speed and expanse for the viewer to complete the picture plane." (1999) Singer states that this makes the provision of visual instruments to the viewers which they are able to "consider proportionately in relations to themselves and in the image. An image mathematically abstract in origin and represented as nonobjective in context will change experientially through the picture plane, enabling the viewers' apperception and organization of mind set." (1999)
The curvature of line, whether inward or outwardly and both positive and negative in nature "are aesthetic choices combined with reasons. It is the idea complex that reaches the positive and negative ranges in the approach. Although the work may seem to have little direct human or emotional content (in the most superficial sense), there are metaphors and connections to the human condition in the various dynamical paths of particles and objects to which we are all subject to." (Singer, 1999)
It is possible, according to Singer (1999) to express these themes in a more literal manner however, the method employed by Singer is one that creates images "…of contemplation and thought. So the viewer experiencing my work, visually is subject to the same universal and impersonal truths, whether the solutions of differential equations with differing initial conditions are known. As it is, they are bound within the light cones of Minkowski space, whose intersections with planes yield the same conic sections of the ancient sage Apollonius." (Singer, 1999)
Singer relates that there has yet to be a "…complete integration of all the phases of monumental works (geometrical) and "spanning time from Pythagoras, through Kepler and Newton, and on to Bolyai, Lobachevskii, Riemann, Minkowski, and Einstein. Most have documented individual systems of modeling along established aphorism." (Singer, 1999)
George Hart (1999) writes in the work entitled: "Polyhedra and Art" that polyhedra have "through history…been closely associated with the world of art. The peak of this relationship was certainly in the Renaissance." (Hart, 1999) The polyhedra for some artists represented "challenging models to demonstrate their mastery of perspective." (Hart, 1999) However, for other artists the polyhedra were symbolic representation of "deep religious or philosophical truths." (Hart, 1999) Hart relates that for others the polyhedra make provision of both an "inspiration and a storehouse of forms with various symmetries from which to draw on. This is especially so in twentieth century sculpture, free of the material and representational constraints of earlier conceptions of sculpture." (1999)
Bruter (2002) states in the work...
Mathematics and Art Mathematics The application that I researched and found of mathematics and art is Data Visualization, which is closely related to Infographics. On a very simple level, data visualizations are artistic, aesthetic representations of data. The ways in which the data visualization can be "drawn" or created involves different kinds of mathematics, including vectors, fractals, algorithms, and statistics. Data visualization is a fairly new field, indigenous to the 21st century.
Thus, the invention of perspective by the artists of the Renaissance reflected the emergence of science and the mathematical ordering of man's observations of the physical world. The manifestation of perspective can clearly be observed in the paintings of many Renaissance artists. For instance, da Vinci's masterpiece the Last Supper, rendered between 1495 and 1498 as a wall fresco, portrays the figure of Jesus Christ sitting in the center of
Note the distinct similarities. An examination of Escher's Circle Limit III can thus tell us much about distance in hyperbolic geometry. In both Escher's woodcut and the Poincare disk, the images showcased appear smaller as one's eye moves toward the edge of the circle. However, this is an illusion created by our traditional, Euclidean perceptions. Because of the way that distance is measured in a hyperbolic space, all of the
Technology and art have been married in a number of ways, showing how the two may complement one another: Mathematics provides a framework for artistic expression while art can awaken mathematical intuition, revealing aspects of mathematics that are otherwise hidden within abstract formulations (Cipra 748). The marriage of technology and art has engendered considerable interest in academic circles, and among the recent developments have been a meeting of more than one hundred
Thus, we assume that children gifted in the arts are every bit as intellectually endowed as those with academic gifts. The relationships among giftedness, talent development, and creativity are challenging areas of research. Because researchers lack consensus about what constitutes creativity itself, progress in developing operational definitions of "creativity" has been slow (Clark & Zimmerman, 1992-page 344; Csikzentmihalyi, 1996; Hunsaker & Callahan, 1995-page 2). Although some scholars agree that creative
