     In this week’s module, we reviewed math and art and how they both have a dynamic relationship with each other. Sometimes, these two ideas are separated immediately. No thought is given to whether math and art are connected. But, what we don’t notice is how often we use math in art. In Professor Vesna’s lecture, she confirms that the connection of art and science is through math and art (Vesna, 0:28). Historically, the explanation of the origin of math incorporates art. In Professor Vesna’s mathematics lecture, she mentions that when drawing regular and irregular shapes, mathematical formulas are needed to calculate the dimensions, area, or volume of said shape (Vesna, 3:35).  Hey, J.

It uses mathematical concepts to design structures that are not only visually ap...

Hi everyone! My name is Laura Ponce and I am a 4th year psychology major. I am super excited to take this class this quarter! This week, we covered the idea of “Two Cultures”. It was very interesting. Growing up, I always thought of the arts and sciences as two separate worlds. In my academic journey and home environment, there wasn't much emphasis on the arts, which led me to see them as very distinct from the sciences.  Eskridge, Robert. “The enduring relationship of science and art.” (2003). https://archive.artic.edu/sciarttech/2a1.html  At UCLA, there exists a noticeable divide between st udents pursuing degrees in the humanities, social sciences, and arts (referred to as North Campus) and those focusing on STEM fields (known as South Campus). This physical separation often results in limited interaction between individuals from different academic backgrounds, as students primarily engage with peers who share their majors and disciplines. There's a significant economic dis...
