Importance of Art

 * ﻿Artist : The artist has a great influence on the piece of art through his human intuition, flavor, moods, and personality. Ex: Jackson Pollock's number 5 is much influenced by his pleasure in painting freely.
 * Time : The era the artist was/is in has a social influence on his art. Ex: Leonardo Di Vinci and Michelangelo were both in the time of Greek influence, where statues of the human body was considered most modern art.
 * Media : The visual effect of unique media. Ex: when using Oil Pastels, the result is a shine that can only be obtained through Oil Pastels.
 * Expression : The reason for his art. Ex: Van Gogh portrays his
 * Language : Different languages have different capacities of music, calligraphy, and poetry.
 * Culture : The influence of tradition is greatly discovered

<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;"> It is wrong to say that Math is not measured by creativity. I am sure that math is a lot more objective than it is subjective, but there is a lot of creativity used in Math. Art is different because it is more of a personal pleasure creativity, than an efficiency creativity. Math requires the mind to think of methods of finding an answer, while in Art, hehe, there is no answer, or rather, there is no definite answer. For example, an artist won't know what lied in the end of his struggle, neither does a mathematician, but a mathematician knows that there is a certain answer he must find, it just a matter of how to find it.

<span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Art and Math
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Art and Math are vast areas of knowing, studied at a very wide range of schools today. There are almost no schools missing these 2 subjects. However, they are evaluated, valued, and given time, at a completely different scale. Math could be seen as a much more objective area of knowing, while Art could be a lot more personal and subjective. Because if we try to define Art, we can say that it is the presentation of expression, and because people have so many different moods, thoughts, and personalities, people will definitely have different expressions, and there will be no correct answer. Math however, most of the time, has a single solution for a problem.

<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">In a way, Math is thought of to be an Art, and can also be applied to many more areas of knowing. Most probably Math intertwines with more subjects than Art does. This is because Math helps to build up logic within the students that can help them during their education and the life after that. A student that can find the value of a unknown variable //a// and //b// within mathematical equations, such as //a// <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; vertical-align: super;">2 <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">+2//b// <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; vertical-align: super;">2 <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">=-1 and 5//a//+7//b//=20, then that student knows how to give an unknown a certain expression, and so can know it’s value in terms of other unknowns.

<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">It can’t be proven that Art doesn’t build your creativity. Although Art is a great foundation for imagination, Math can be a bigger one. This is through the application of imaginary numbers and asymptotes. An imaginary number, such as //i//=√(-1), does not exist, and so is called imaginary. However, one can use i in an expression and find a real number, for example //i// <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; vertical-align: super;">4 <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">-//i// <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; vertical-align: super;">2 <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">, which should give 2.

<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Asymptotes are the limit that a function will never reach; for example, in the function //f(x)=1/x//, //x// can never be zero, because if it were plugged in, the answer can’t be found. Hence the function //f(x)// can not be zero. These are all concepts that cannot be understood without imagination and visualization. Math involves a lot of these and more visualizing notions may be discovered through using these concept. Ideas like these improve the Perception Way of Knowing and the Reasoning Way of Knowing in general, and so help out throughout a human lifetime.

<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Nevertheless, Art is always applicable. Studying Art will open the mind on techniques and methods of expression and emotion. Also in application, an artist can make what is personally and publically beautiful based on personal taste. But does it matter who can express him/herself more than he/she who can express logic!? The answer to this question is the exact reason why I personally think that Math should be a little more obligatory than Art, although I support that they be given the same amount of time in a school day; I believe Math should be mandatory. Everyone understands the universal, but not everyone understands you.

Oct 18 Review - Right on time. Thanks for that. I am beginning to track along with what you say, Maan. We will spend just a little more time on this in class and then move on. As you work on your writing this year try to do two basic things: 1) Be able to boil each paragraph into a simple statement. (Your writing sometimes bubbles over with enthusiasm and races two or three ideas together. 2) Continue to give specific, concrete examples of your points. Cheers, cct3
 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;"> The elements and princepals of Art are present in any piece of art no matter what, but are they the only evaluation of art? Is there another anatomy of artwork that clarifies art's existence?
