NEUROSCIENCE + ART The relationship between neuroscience and art is quite intriguing. They go hand in hand. I believe that without neuroscience, or more specifically the brain, would be no art. There would be no creativity. In this week’s lesson we brought light to the significant role in which neuroscience plays in relation to art. In my opinion the most interesting section of this week’s lesson was the effects of certains drugs on the brain and the way in which they create art. The term that is now being used to describe the meshing of neuroscience and art is “neuroaesthetics”. As obvious as it is, we all know that art creation and perception comes from the brain and certain things can trigger that such as drugs. I found that Professor Vesna’s talk about different the drugs including, LSD & cocaine, and their effects in lecture was very interesting because it is fascinating how these drugs can make us create art out of our everyday surroundings. For example, the effect

Nanotechnology is a field that we, as a society, are pretty uneducated on because it is not mentioned to us nor is it well known. However, in this week’s lesson, Professor Vesna introduced us to nanotechnology. Before this lesson, I had no idea what nanotechnology is. To my surprise, nanotechnology is all around us. It is in our food packaging, the clothes we wear, and even in our electronic devices and its accessories ! The meshing of nanotechnology and art is something I didn’t think was possible. However Rothemund, the speaker at the TED talk for DNA folding showed us how they do in fact go hand in hand at time. Rothemund showed us DNA folding into what resembled a smiley face ! Who knew that scientist could manipulate DNA and change the way that it folds ? Companies like Apple are well known for using nanotechnology. Nanotechnology has made life more efficient for us in certain ways. Dr. Gimzewski was very helpful in making us understand the concept of nanotech

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 th
