The media of this art piece consisted of large construction paper, and a permanent marker. The elements of design in the Zentangle amount to Line, Shape, Space, and Texture. The principles of design comprise of Pattern, Emphasis, Balance, Harmony, and Rhythm/Movement. I chose these because if you look at the art piece it directly pertains to the art. These elements and principles are absolutely essential to creating a wonderful zentangle. In order to create this art piece, we were recommended to…

The Puzzle Of Computer Science Philosophy A major in Computer Science has always been what I have wanted to achieve. My brain is constantly in a state of self imposed hyperactivity. I have excelled in creating new puzzles in order for my brain to get its daily dose of adrenaline. However the adrenaline rush i got from my first puzzle would last much longer than expected, becoming my own personal stalker. When I first got asked the question such as every other child is, what do you want…

John Seal, a Los Angeles-based artist, has worked in a group show “Made in Space” at Gavin Brown Enterprise in the summer of 2013, artists including Jim Isermann, Patrick Jackson, David Korty, Liz Larner, and William Leavitt. Currently, his solo exhibition "I Upon My Frontiers Here Keep My Residence" is on view at the same gallery again. Upon entry, there are a series of works where the outlines of a jacket are invaded by a bouquet of colorful shapes and flowery images that populate the surface…

and two children. Newton despised his stepfather. When Newton as older, he left his parents to go study at Cambridge. That was were he developed most of his theories and discovered most of his discoveries. In 1669, Newton became the professor of mathematics at Cambridge. While…

The science fair is a way for students to show their science knowledge, problem solving skills, and to show their academic ability. The projects are meant to allow the students to learn more about a subject by creating a question and trying to answer it. The science fair is a large project to better the student and help fulfill the desire for knowledge in the science department. For many jobs, tasks, or even just exercise you need a snack to keep your energy levels immense. Lightweight snacks…

When thinking about M.C. Escher’s work, one would think of geometrical birds flying across the print with a landscape shown underneath, cubes and spheres overlapping one another, and weird surreal prints of inverted architecture. That is because he is most famous for his mathematical tessellations, which are tiling shapes overlapping one another creating a pattern that could be endless. Instead of just using any old shape, he used animals and other objects that made it more difficult for him to…

Growing up on a small farm in a small town such as Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England is not usually an indicator of great genius and future success. However, in the case of Sir Isaac Newton it is quite the opposite. In order to begin to understand how this one man was able to answer the great questions of his time, we must first look into his life. Isaac Newton was born on January 4, 1643 on his father's small farm. He was born to Isaac Newton Sr. and Hannah Ayscough Newton. His life was…

Cloud Gate’s qualities of “presentness” as lamented by Fried functions as a precursor that introduces elements of site and duration typically suited to an outdoor context or public realm. Rosalind Krauss notes that sculptors working in the minimalist idiom did so as they “had no faith in the ideals classical sculpture as founded on, and the only means by which they could explore the medium’s possibilities were to introduce the situational elements of placement and temporal duration” . Such a…

The trend of our data collected during the experiment was a weak correlation. This is because two variables have increased whereas the other two variables have decreased (Simpson, 2013). As shown in the graph in the results section, it can be seen that the times 20 seconds and 80 seconds are above the trend line and 40 secs and 60 secs are below the trend line. This therefore makes it a weak correlation, as there is no significant trend that can be seen that shows it is a positive trend line.…

The Scientific Method The scientific method is something that is used to perform scientific investigations. The process is based on empirical and measurable evidence. The scientific method can be looked at from different perspectives, meaning, not a lot of people will agree that it starts a certain way. As a student I can argue that it begins by gathering all your data first, but other people will respond and say that it starts by asking a simple question. Although no one really knows…
