Wow, Leonardo was a hell of a guy. The true epitome of art and science coming together to create something truly magnificent. And what makes it better is that he can be connected to Michael Jackson and zombies, two of my most favorite things in the world. After the degrees of seperation between Leonardo and […]
The topic of today’s study was Seeing the Invisible. During the first lecture, many subjects were covered including the many dimensions, the different types of microscopes, and the introduction to Nanoscience/Nanotechnology. At the beginning of the instruction, we were taught how visualization, on the nano-scale, helps develop views both artistically and scientifically. Unlike light microscopes, […]
On this fine day, I really got to learn about the application of nano science in medicine. We first visited the chemistry lab where they were working on caner research and then Dr. Rome lectured to us. I found the chemistry lab visit to be interesting. Although I did not like chemistry too much in […]
Thinking back on my day, it is difficult for me to look past the blood, sweat, and tears that went into going to eachdifferent area. After I forget about the exhaustion, I realized I learned an outrageous amount today. We had a lecture about the use of structures and shapes in art and science. We […]
This day was an extremely eye opening one. The day started with our daily lecture on the thin lines between art and science and helped dissolved the barriers even more. We learned about a variety of art that had truly broken the line between art and science. We separated into our groups and went […]
Today we went and visited the UCLA Plasma Research Center. Plasma is said to be the fourth state of matter. I never had realized all the uses of plasma. when we went to the center today I was able to feel the electrical current going through the tube in the magnet which i thought was […]
Today’s morning lecture on shapes defining our world was particularly fascinating for me… Well, taking a step back, it’s pretty cool that through this program, we’ve basically been covering the idea that the British joke science series we watch every morning are named after–! It seems that Art|Sci really focuses on new or creative ways […]
The day started off with a trip to the Fowler Museum where I was able to look at aboriginal paintings from Papunya, and indigenous group in central Australia. Looking at the paintings reminded me of pointillism because the majority of every painting was composed of tiny dots. But the paintings also gave me an idea […]
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 […]
While the rest of the week was very informative, today was one for inspiration. In the morning, Victoria Vesna talked to us about her life. I found her life to be one of the most inspiration lives I’ve ever learned about. In my life, I am surrounded by people who are extremely unhappy with their […]
