This SciArt program has been an amazing experience, providing both the educational and college-like experience. I came to this program liking both science and art (I plan to pursue engineering but I also have a love and appreciation for art like photography and graphic design). This program really taught me how the two can be […]
Last night (technically this morning) we watched the midnight screening of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. We went to a theatre in Westwood and stood in line for two hours for the opportunity to see a highly anticipated movie first. While the Harry Potter series is known for its use of magic and […]
Today during our lecture we got to see a lot of different types of concepts for new inventions. This eventually led to our long discussion on the ethics of new technologies. There was a lot of talk about new inventions eventually leading to dangerous weapons or the destruction of the human race, but I also […]
Shapes are an important part of all different types of design and science. Today our lecturers discussed the use of shapes in both the atomical level and the large scale in terms of architecture. The section on shapes in design particularly interested me because I love unique, contemporary architecture since it blends both engineering and […]
On Friday, we listened to a lecture on the career path Victoria took from wanting to be a fashion designer to doing different types of fine art and science. It was comforting to know that even adults change their minds about their career paths and that we don’t have to know what we want to do […]
Today we learned a lot about the science behind contemporary art, such as differing color lights and other effects. We learned about three artists in particular: Ksuama, Flavin and Eliasson, whose artistic pieces are characterized by pintilism, lights, and physicality, respectively. This lecture really sparked my attention because I have seen Dan Flavin’s work firsthand […]
Today we learned a lot about nanotechnology and its relation to medicine and nature. We learned about the research that is being conducted to find an alternative to chemotherapy through the use of nanotechnology and nanobots. They would target only the diseased cells and spare the healthy ones, causing the patient a lot less suffering […]
In class on Tuesday, we discussed visualization in relation to science. I thought that the topics were interesting because whenever I hear the word “visualization,” I only think of art as in paintings, drawings etc. that were shown at the beginning of the presentation. However, through the lecture I also learned about the visualization in […]
