with the portrait. Pittura- “the allegorical representation of the art of painting as a female figure”. Vasari was one of the first artists to use Pittura. In the Middle Ages, the seven Liberal arts included Dialect, Rhetoric, Grammar, Arithmetic, Geometry,…

Even the colors of dreams and paintings are real because they cannot be made up or original. Things such as Astronomy, Physics and Medicine are based off of composite objects and are of doubtful character, while things such as Arithmetic and Geometry are based on simple, general objects. He gives the example that you always know that 2+3=5 and there are 4 sides to a square, for it is not possible for them to be false. Descartes then talks about how God created him, but how does he know that God…

In comparison to the rest of Europe, Spain’s Renaissance is quite extraordinary. This is because Spain was not a unified nation until the late fifteenth-century. Historians attribute many factors to the unification of Spain including, “the conquest of Granada, the expulsion of the Jews, and the publication of the first grammar of the Castilian language [; which] all occurred in 1492.” Due to its late unification, Spain was not immediately influenced by ideas popular during the Italian…

Flatland on Mathematics and Literature Commonly the notion of mathematics and literature are relegated to two different spheres of influence, left to be independent of one another. The two disciplines enchant and bewilder the masses as they help to persuade the human race of getting infinitesimally closer to the truths of the universe. In this regard, mathematics and literature can combine in an attempt to push the boundaries of prior understanding in order to present a new facet of a…

Intro: The history or Islamic ornamental design is a very rich and complex one. Islamic art, specifically ornamental art found on Islamic architecture, is symbolic of not only the aesthetic trends of Islamic culture but is reflective of the Quran and its poetic descriptions and symbolic stories. When specifically looking at buildings like the Alhambra, one can see that the Nasrid artists embellished the building in three specific ways: the carving of stylized foliage; the use of tiles to form…

first day of 7th grade being scared because I was new and because there was so many people. Going into my first day of highschool felt like that, but even more nerve racking because of all the students. I remember getting lost to my first period geometry class. I didn't realize the hallway split into another and I got lost. I also remember walking in and all these sophomores were in there…

My connections led me to several research projectsthroughout my studies, including my ongoing senior thesis.My field of study is algebraic geometry, an intersection of two wide areas of mathematics. To besuccessful, one has to able to seamlessly form connections between ideas in two distinct fields.Research begins, but does not consist of, finding and understanding reliable sources. The crucialpart…

With the invention of writing came the first major piece of literature called, the “Epic Tale of Gilgamesh”. They had a wide knowledge of mathematics like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and fractions. They also had knowledge of geometry. The astronomers were able to use their expertise in math to track stars, the planets, and the Moon. With astronomy, they were able to create the first…

Scientific Revolution The scientific revolution of the seventeenth century caused change in worldview Scientific Thought in 1500 European ideas about the universe were based on ancient ideas Four elements: air, fire, water, earth A force moved an object at a constant speed and the object would stop as soon as that force was moved Aristotle’s ideas about astronomy and physics were accepted for two thousand years Showed correctness to Christianity because it put human beings at the center of the…

monument is full of history and geology. It also includes Different shapes and sizes of these rocks. For example it has cone like rocks. The park could not only help in the science department of education, but in mathematics. In mathematics you learn geometry and that has to do with shapes. The students could talk about the cones and other shapes that the rocks make.…
