Week 7: Neuroscience and Art
By: Adam Parks    

    The brain is one of the most creative and interesting parts of our entire body.  It has the ability to allow for many actions and emotions and attitudes to exist as a part of our character.  Neuroscience is unique in the fact that it allows for an endless spread of ideas and attitudes for individuals to have. The right side of the brain, to me, is what correlates neuroscience and art with one another. 
   
    The right side of the brain is where creativity lies.  The ability to sense feelings and listen to music and so much more on a creative scale comes from the right side of the brain. The ability to illustrate creativity is an art, pertaining to each individual in a different way.  Each individual is unique in their owns ways and means of creativity, yet all of this stems from the brain itself, in particular the right side of the brain.  Creativity is the ability to create someone of your own through experience and a mind set and creative vision.  The beauty of this all is credited to the beauty of art.
    In addition, neuroscience has progressively been shifting towards a therapeutical outlet. This in itself is an art, the art of healing through the knowledge and use of the brain.  For me, my teammate from my high school volleyball team comes from a family of neuroscientists.  His dad has created a new and modern way of healing, in particular habits, tics , and depression, all stemming from a machine placed on the brain.  Through the studies and research, they pinpoint particular parts of the brain and figure out what ways to improve or fix those specific areas. 
  Neuroscience is attached with an endless amount of opportunity and ways of being creative.  From healing techniques, to research, to creativity alone, the brain is unique and supplies an infinite amount of possibilities.

    I thought that your blog was very interesting and very well written. It reminded me of Lingustics course I took where I learned that each side of the brain is associated to different forms of sounds and languages. Where one side of the brain is better at hearing sounds like music and the other is better at hearing words. I wonder how that is correlated to the sides of the brain that are more creative and artistic.

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...
