Week 2 Assignment


I found it very interesting that people do de-geniuses people throughout life and everyone tends to listen.  Throughout school I have always struggled with test taking so all my math classes I would do horrible on the tests. After years of failing my math testes I just came to a conclusion that I was not good at math.  Now that I am older I understand it is not that I am not good at math, I just struggle with math tests.

Another interesting point was that you cannot really do art without math.  To make a perfect shape you must use math to calculate it out unless you just guess then it would not be a PERFECT shape.

Another interesting thing to me in week 2 is the fact that assembly lines were using human beings like robots and how the idea of Robots came up so long ago.  They seem like such a new invention but it is just advancing as time goes on.  As technology advanced we actually have robots now that have replaced humans with a machine!  We have tons of different types of robots now doing so many things. It is kind of crazy to thing about because we are being replaced

  1. Interesting post, I feel the same about math tests.
    I feel like you have some really good ideas, and would be nice if you expanded on specific ways that math is relevant to art (eg. perspective, vanishing point, etc) and if you elaborated on the effects of industrialization on today's society/your life.
    Nice post :)

  2. Aha, I cannot agree more about what you say on 1st paragram. The circle-rectangle pictures remind me the diamond cutting technics. It is based on the mathematical model to make the diamond shines in different angles. That is the amazing connection of art and industrialization.

  3. It was hard to tell from your post if you think that robots replacing humans is a good or bad thing--maybe elaborate if you get a chance :)
