Event number 2

Event #2
Adam Parks

     For this weeks event, I ventured to UCLA campus and explored the UCLA La Kretz Garden Pavilion.  After being inspired by my past event at the Botanical Gardens, I made the decision to continue my inspiration and creativity through the nature that exists in this world.  To me, nature is the greatest form of art, created by Earth and not man.  The art through which gardens and plants display all relates to open interpretation.  If me and another person were to look at the same plant, our forms of creativity, art, and beauty we collect will be different due to the openness that the plant displays.
    In addition, more relating to the class, biotechnology also plays a factor in the beauty and art behind plants.  Through tests and research, plants can now be genetically modified, changing color or shape or style that the plants display.  This has allowed for the nature of plants and agriculture to become a man made form of art as well.  The modifications can be viewed as an artistic approach, making it even more creative and inspirational.  In his picture, the art is seen through the variety of colors all added to a single plant.  This is done through modifications made by man on a plant form of nature.  The list of modifications that allows for art to be scene is endless due to the endless amount nature produces and the endless amount of technology humans can create.


     I highly recommend a trip here for all my fellow classmates.  I went initially to go explore myself, yet wound up joining a tour to get the full experience of the beauty and history of nature.  I recommend this unique and free tour to all, as the full experience will be captured.

Math in Science and Math in Arts Adam Parks   As majority of people always point out the separation between math and sciences, they are alike in a numerous amount of ways.  When looking at science, lengths, time, shapes, and so much more is utilized from the math fields. In addition, artists and art in general utilizes math as well.  For example, the art of origami utilizes math to a full extend. The shapes and lines utilized, the length and addition and subtraction used to make symmetry possible, and so much more is illustrated to us from the article titled, “Careers in Origami." Origami is just one of the many forms of art that utilizes math.       Math is often seen in sciences as well. In Physical Sciences as well, we calculate the measurement of objects, their subjectivity and the characteristics of it as well.  Science also utilizes lengths and time to test object and experiment and hypothesis, all based on numbers. ...

Week 6 Adam Parks     Biotechnology is a form of technology that has been enabled through the increase in technology and sciences. Biotechnology can be broad, from genetically modifying foods to kids to so much more. All of these examples lead to the idea of modernism in our current day in age and the progression of technology. All sorts of technology relates to the main idea of art, showing the beauty of the world and the progression our country has made.      Genetic modifications can be made as a form of improvement, fixing the flaws and making changes to better an outcome. This relates to photography and editing for me, given the ability to make improvements and allows for more of a "perfect" images. The art in genetic modification through biotechnology is the ability to make the beauty of the world more present and the ability to make changes to add to a idealistic society. The art in Biotechnology comes out through the advancement that society m...

Event 1: Botanical Gardens      Agriculture has been a large part of society for centuries, beginning first as a sign of wealth and land.  People who owned forms of agriculture illustrated wealth and dominance.  Agriculture has developed through time as a sources of food, production, and especially a form of art.  Plants and trees and rocks and all forms of nature have changed in to a form of art and the beauty of the world.  In the weeks 1 readings of C.P Snow, the idea of agriculture changing from wealth into more art based is discussed, additionally stating the multiple cultures within the simplicity of agriculture.       For the first of the events I attended, I went to the UCLA Botanical gardens.  A sense of the past came about when pondering in the gardens.  Seeing the elegance and beauty of the art of nature brought about where it all began.  It was once a part of the past culture as a form of wealth and...
