In lecture we were exposed to an interesting topic about “degenius”. Buckminster Fuller says,  ”Everyone is a genius but the process of living de-geniuses them.” I found this to be interesting because even as early as his time , he knew the education system was going to be a fail for humans , at least in America.

This week’s topic was about math and art. Some math subjects, such as geometry, have always been dependent on art since the start of their existence. Math allows for art to be a lot more detail and realistic because it’s based of off numbers. From this week’s readings , I learned about origami and its uniqueness. Of course I had heard of origami before , but I had no idea how much it was related to math , geometry to be specific. Origami is a perfect representation of the relationship between math and art. Why ? Because origami is geometry based art. To be successful in creating an origami piece, we have to know that geometry , and symmetry will be used.

Because of this week’s reading , I learned a lot more about perception. With a different perspective comes a different perception. A great example would be the term or concept referred to as “ Vanishing Point”. It is pretty self-explanatory , it is a point in which a line or object begins to fade based on where you are position. Your perspective has everything to do with this because where you are , determines what you will see.

Example of a “Vanishing Point” I found this picture to be eye catching and interesting because you can really see the concept of the vanishing point here , it is very vivid.
