Maths and Art

Mathematics and Art lectures:

The art lectures have definitely been more interesting than the maths ones. 3 hours of geometry!!!
I really do not find that interesting at all, which really does make it very hard to concentrate.

Some of it I do find interesting, namely the golden ratio and how it comes up so often in art and also nature. I like the example of the golden spiral with the shell, but it's definitely not my favourite subject.

Week 1

Well week one was pretty full on, basically straight into it all. The first lecture was mostly introduction but also the first Art lecture, situated in a new lecture room.

The intro lecture was the beginning of Mathematics and Art. We were also introduced to the cinematic Flaneur project during the week. Working in groups of about 10-12 people we had to create a time sculpture video. This is the example that we were given for it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvwYzXq4E5Q

The group I was in decided to use all available laptops to take the photos in photobooth, which would mean that all the photos taken would be the same format etc. We arranged them in a semi-circle facing two people in the centre. We took the photos in a pattern going around the semi-circle. For example: camera 1 takes a photo, camera 2, camera 1, camera 2, camera 3, camera 2, camera 1, and so on, up to about 8 or 10.

The rest of the first week was mostly introduction but was also pretty much straight into the next project: cinematic flaneur.
