Nanotechnology is one of the most amazing and fascinating ways of technology in the world.  Nanotechnology is used to make processors and create micro items used in technology. It is also used in many coatings in order to add a protective and light appealing layer.  Nanotechnology is in much more than we realize, such as in camera and paint and many other forms of art, demonstrating the relation it has within art.
The first form is through cameras.  Cameras utilize nanotechnology in order to develop a processor able to capture the image that we are viewing and what we want to be captured. Photos, to me are an amazing form of art due to the ability to capture an image and not only store it within our memory, but also within a flash drive or within computers or cds, all of which utilize nanotechnology to allow this possibility. Nano technology serves as a memory, yet also serving as a way to improve the quality of pictures we are able to capture with our cameras and phones.
Nanotechnology in painting and other forms of art allow for a stronger and more durable surface.  My dad owns an auto body shop, using all sorts of paint to allow the cars to be appealing to the eye, but also limit the amount of chipping that occurs.  Through nanotechnology, more durable paint exists, making painting cars more efficient and also less of a worry due to the durability of the paint. This serves as an art platform as well, allowing the paint to withstand certain conditions and also lasting over a long period of time.  Nanotechnology is unique and utilized more than we realize, allow for a more efficient and sustainable society of technology.

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...
