Event Workshop with Linda Weintraub

On Tuesday, April 18, 2017, I attended Linda Weintraub's W orkshop for Arts and Sciences. Inside the workshop, she had a series of circles with boxes that contained instructions on them. Inside each box were materials such as bones, dirt, acorns, and other  objects pertaining to more rural areas. She explained that the point of her workshop was to expose yourself and your senses  to materials that we usually do not experience, given the fact that we live in an urban society. My favorite task to complete was the breaking down of tree bark into dirt. Somehow, that task was the most gratifying   because t he feel of the  bark  as it  crumbled  into dirt in my hand and the smell of it were very refreshing and, somehow, soothing.  It was almost a meditative experience for me because I allowed senses that I usually do not pay attention to take precedence over senses I utilize and favor on a daily basis, such as sight for example.

Week 2: Math and Art

Math and Art are utilized more simultaneously than we  realize.  A rtists  have been   particularly skilled in areas of mathematics and utilized these skills in the pieces they created. For  example, the idea of perspective, a  dra wing  technique developed in order to make paintings more realistic, inspired the development of the vanishing point by  Filippo   Brunelleschi in 1413 . The School of Athens by Raphael shows an example of perspective  The vanishing point was a drawing technique by which all lines converged to one single point in a painting. This gave the artwork a more linear   view. Additionally,  Brunelleschi  was not only an artist but an individual who was trained in both geometry and trigonometry. The vanishing point clearly illustrates the use of math in art, such that it has also contributed to the growth and progression of artwork throughout history and is still  utilized  today. This week...
