                  Professor Vesna explained is the video lectures, space is where math, science, art, nanotechnology intertwine. Art has allowed for what was once unknown to turn into real life and has helped us learn more about our planet, universe and everything around us in this world.

                 The "Powers of Ten" video,  puts into perspective how tiny humans are when we think about the rest of the world around us. Scientists today are able to enhance in both positive and negative directions and are able to look deeper in these ways in space because it shows us images that tell us specifically what is in universe and even how we were created and how life first began.

I believe that Sputnik helped advance  technology in space and help the US learn more about our planet. The US creation, Sputnik, is a good example  of how space and art influence one another. The design, structure, and creativity os artists made it possible to create the invention that started the Space Race which then led to the US being the first to put a man on the moon and win the Space Race!

Week 4: Medtech + Art

Niiler, Eric. "Mind-Controlled Prostheses Let Hands Feel Again : DNews." DNews. N.p., 8 Oct. 2014. Web. 29 Apr. 2017.   Medical technology mixed with art is another version of the blending of science and art. Discussed in the lecture video, human dissection was a very frequent phenomenon going back to the era of  the ancient egyptian's that fused anatomy with artistry. Direction allowed for knowledge and understanding bone structure and anatomical makeups that dissectionists had to be aware of when making their artistic incisions. Medical technology has progressed and is used everyday across the world in ways like: x-Rays, MRI's, and CT scans. The increase of use and progress in medical technology was a direct result of the increases progress and understanding if the human body, which is a form of art. Niiler, Eric.

Week 2: Math and Art

Professor Vesna's video lecture was very interesting to me because prior to taking an art class in highs school, I did not associate Math with Art. Professor Vesna stated math is the study of relationships between numbers and I never thought it could relate to art. Once I took the art class I realized just how much art and math are related and the necessity of math to create a simple piece of artwork. We use math for art all around the world today and can even trace is back thousands of years ago. I now realize how important it is to have correct measurements and spacing and direction of lines to make things realistic.                        http://img1-azcdn.newser.com/image/1062438-12-20160325131304.jpeg In the video Lecture Professor Vesna explains Leonardo Da Vinci's impact on art and his use of linear perspective to create realistic paintings. In "The Last Supper", Da Vinci uses linear perspective by making the vanishi...

 I’m Aaliyah Jordan, a 1st year softball player from San Diego, California. I've grown up in in an environment of art and not science.  My grandparents are very religious and have taught us to side more with Religion and not science. Growing up I bought into the  idea of religion and never really questioned that because I trusted my grandparents and my family. I was very separated from science and never thought about it. Like humanities and science, my life has been very separated from softball and school. I've played softball since I was 4 years old and it's always been school on the weekdays and softball on the weekends. The two never really conflicted with each other or influenced one another because they were two separate aspects of my life and I  never saw them as the same. Once I got to UCLA that changed dramatically for both seeing the split between humanities and science and also seeing them together. Bruin Walk North and South campus map of UCLA ...
