...Art Appreciation Question 1. Analyze this painting by addressing these three formal elements and terms describe the palette, shape and Space. Be sure to identify the perspective system employed in this painting The palette, or range of colors used in this painting, have a more neutral tone. The combination of forest greens, golden yellows, faint blues, and grays, combined with the lack of any bright colors, gives the painting a more neutral look. The painting employs several triangle shapes, which can be seen at the apex of the trees and the two mountains in the posterior of the landscape. The spacing of the painting is both three-dimensional and deep. As one looks into the painting, it feels as if one could walk into the painting and move into the landscape. The painting has depth, as it feels like one can “see for miles” into the painting. This painting certainly employs an aerial perspective system, as the clouds, haze of the atmosphere, and vantage point all add depth to the space. Question 2. Explain how the artist uses color create space. (In answering this question, be sure to identify if the compositional space is two dimensional or three dimensional) Also articulate how the artist uses color to convey light and rhythm. The artist uses the varying colors on the red background to create the perception of three-dimensional space. The contrast of the dark dots and the golden dots on the red background makes the painting appear as if the red is a type of screen...

...Personalizing Medicine By: Daniel Ostroff 12-09-2009 I believe it is absolutely essential to take steps to further personalize medicine. There are too many generalized treatments that may work for most patients, but still a great many patients with slight irregularities are not eligible because of these slight differences. For example, research is being done at the BIO5 Institute at the University of Arizona by Dr. Jonathan VandeGeest and his laboratory to switch the commonly used generalized metallic stents to treat an aortic aneurysm to custom manufactured Functional (due to the use of dendrimers for drug delivery) Polymeric Endoluminal Paving prototypes. The development of these customized prototypes for aneurysm patients is a massive step forward in personalized medicine. The traditional procedure to correct this condition involved complex open-chest surgery. Depending on the size and growth rate of the aneurysm, surgery can take many hours and may require multiple return visits. During surgery, the two traditional treatments are aortic grafts or metallic stents. The grafts are a wire mesh that is sewn into place to prevent further growth and leaking, which involves an extremely dangerous and invasive procedure. Otherwise, a generalized metallic stent is used, but because this device is pre-formed, it will only fit a select group of patients whose aorta is in a straight and vertical orientation. Any other shape and the treatment...

...here. For 0D, see 0d (disambiguation). For other uses, see Dimension (disambiguation). From left to right, the square, the cube, and the tesseract. The square is bounded by 1-dimensional lines, the cube by 2-dimensional areas, and the tesseract by 3-dimensional volumes. A projection of the cube is given since it is viewed on a two-dimensional screen. The same applies to the tesseract, which additionally can only be shown as a projection even in three-dimensional space. A diagram showing the first four spatial dimensions. In physics and mathematics, the dimension of a space or object is informally defined as the minimum number of coordinates needed to specify any point within it.[1][2] Thus a line has a dimension of one because only one coordinate is needed to specify a point on it (for example, the point at 5 on a number line). A surface such as aplane or the surface of a cylinder or sphere has a dimension of two because two coordinates are needed to specify a point on it (for example, to locate a point on the surface of a sphere you need both its latitude and itslongitude). The inside of a cube, a cylinder or a sphere is three-dimensional because three co-ordinates are needed to locate a point within these spaces. In physical terms, dimension refers to the constituent structure of all space (cf. volume) and its position in time (perceived as a scalar dimension along the t-axis), as well as the spatial constitution of objects within – structures that have correlations...

... the number and parameters of displacements and/or rotations available within a given task space. Degrees of Freedom in a Three Dimensional (3-D) Space In a Two Dimensional (2-D) space (like a table-top or the floor) there are three Degrees of Freedom. These include displacement along the X and Yaxes, plus rotation. In a Three Dimensional (3-D) space there are six degrees of freedom. These consist of displacement along three perpendicular axes (X, Y and Z), and rotation about those same axes. DOF in 3D space are generally identified using the following nautical terms: Displacements Heave: Moving up and down Surge: Moving forward and backward Sway: Moving left and right Rotations Yaw: Turning left and right flight Roll: Tilting side to side Pitch: Tilting forward and backward> 2) Denote the number and parameters of displacements and/or rotations that a body or mechanism is able to execute. Holonomic mechanisms are able to perform controlled movement through every available DOF within its particular task space. Non-holonomic mechanisms are capable of fewer controlled DOF than are actually available within its task space.

...There are many different variations and characteristics of a line. A line can be straight and solid, curved or dotted, lines can cross, they can be fold or faded, and help create the appearance of movement, lighting effects, shading, and so much more. 3. How is line used in the assigned work? Diego Rivera uses line for smoothness and texture in The Liberation of the Peon. His lines show the hair on the horses manes, the smoothness of the naked slaves body, the texture of the ground in the field they are standing in, and shows the transparent nature of the flames coming from the farm house in the background. 4. What is “shape”? Our textbook defines shape as, “the expanse within the outline of a two-dimensional area or within the outer boundaries of a three-dimensional object.” The word shape is described as being interchangeable with the words mass and form. I would describe shape as being the form that an object takes. Water can have a shape though that shape can change depending on the container of the liquid. 5. How is shape used in the assigned work? Rivera’s use of shapes within this political piece is hard for me to describe. On first glance I might say that organic shapes are used to show the people and horses; geometric shapes such as triangles are used to depict the mountains in the background. Additionally, his use of curved and often round or circular...

Next to the entrance and next to Candida Portnari (born in 1903 in Sao Paub, Brazil) Brazil Wood, 1938. Pencil on Craft Paper. Died in 1962 in Rio de Janeiro. Brief description of painting: In this painting, there appears to be a male figure carrying a female figure on his shoulder. The male figure appears to be running away from something. It appears that he may have just rescued a damsel in distress. As he is running, he is stepping on what appears to be two evil creatures. Shapes – A shape is a two-dimensional figure that may regular or irregular in appearance. In this painting, both regular and irregular shapes were used. Irregular shapes were primarily used in this painting. The irregular shapes are unique and have the outline of a human figure. There are four distinct irregular shapes in this painting, which are the male figure, the female figure, and the two evil looking creatures toward the bottom of the painting. These irregular shapes are considered biomorphic because they resemble living beings. The regular shapes in this painting can be seen on the evil figures toward the bottom of the painting. Regular shapes are geometric shapes that have a name, such as a circle or square. Circles were used to make the eyes of the creatures. The head of the creature, most towards...

...Maurice Young ART/101 July 21, 2013 Sara Shreve Renaissance: Linear Perspective One of the major roles of the artist is to enable the viewer to see the world in a new and innovative way. This task was a major challenge for the Renaissance artist before the 14th century on account of the artist not having the eyes to see or the skills to introduce the world to linear perspective. Smarthistory (2013) states that linear perspective “creates an illusion of space from a single, fixed viewpoint. This suggests a renewed focus on the individual viewer, and we know that individualism is an important part of the Humanism of the Renaissance” (para. 3). Although beautiful and true to the style of the time, before the Early Renaissance period artist did not paint in three dimensional however, some artist did try to create illusions of space and depth to show the world realistically during the late 1300s unsuccessfully (Op-Art.co.uk, 2012). A list of Renaissance artists took full command of creating three-dimensional illusions on canvases and in their victory we see the world in a new and innovative way. [pic] Fig. 1 1486 Birth of Venus Botticelli Galleria degli Uffizi Sandro Botticelli (1445- 1510) was an Italian painter who studied under the direction Filippo Lippi who was a master painter during the Florentine Renaissance. Lippi taught Botticelli linear perspective along with a linear sense of form for color which is displayed in Botticelli’s...

...had to describe how the field from lines of charge differs from that produced by point sources. The electric field is identified by a capital E and at a certain point it equals the force on a test charge divided by the amount of the charge (E=F/g). In other words, the electric field is the surrounding charges which create an electric field around a given point. Theory: Equipotential lines provide a quantitative way of viewing the electric potential in two dimensions. Every point on a given line is at the same potential. An equipotential region of a scalar potential in three-dimensional space is often an equipotential surface, but it can also be a three-dimensional region in space. The gradient of the scalar potential (and hence also its opposite, as in the case of a vector field with an associated potential field) is everywhere perpendicular to the equipotential surface, and zero inside a three-dimensional equipotential region. Electrical conductors offer an intuitive example. If a and b are any two points within or at the surface of a given conductor, and given there is no flow of charge being exchanged between the two points, then the potential difference is zero between the two points. Thus, an equipotential would contain both points a and b as they have the same potential. Extending this definition, an...

...considerations 3D printing economic questions and considerations Definition Three dimensional printing refers to a procedure that employs the formation of solid three dimensional objects that can take the form of any shape desired based on the designs of a digital model. In order to achieve a three dimensional print output, one is required to utilize the additive procedure that involves the use of successive material layers that are laid in arrangement such that different shapes are displayed. There have been considerations of three dimensional printing as technique of traditional machining that greatly relies on material removal through use of methods such as drilling and cutting which is part of the subtractive procedure. I) History of 3D printing technology The historical development and context of 3D printing technology Three dimensional printing has existed for over thirty years, long before it was popularized. From the 1980s this technology utilized the inclusion of a layer fused in powdered material with the combination of a laser as well as dispersion of plastic that was melted through a nozzle system and resin that was photo-cursed. Nonetheless, three dimensional printers remained expense ice and where characterized as being sluggish with inefficiencies as the industry redeveloped at a slow pace during that era (Lanzetta & Sachs, 2003). The rapid popularization and growth of three dimensional printing begun only after the start of the twenty first century as several...

...Hand Circle by Bruce Nauman are both unique three dimensional sculptures that have similarities and differences which create their own unique interpretation and meaning of life using representations of the physical body. Floor is made with PVC figures, glass plates, phenolic sheets, and polyurethane resin. Floor by Do-Ho Suh is a sculpture that contains thirty-two one-meter square panels (“Floor” 1). Beneath these panels stand thousands of three-dimensional two-inch multicolored human-like figures (“Do Ho Suh” 1). These figures look up at the glass and hold their hands high above their heads with their palms open. This allows viewers of the sculpture to actually walk up on the sculpture and get a different view of the artwork. The figures support and resist this symbolic floor (Kelly 1). Do-Ho Suh was born in Seoul, Korea in 1962. His father was a professional painter and was the last sort of scholar painter in Korea. His mother loves art and has extensive knowledge of traditional art, costumes, and architecture. Do-Ho Suh was influenced by his parents. Along with this, he is influenced by Korea, where he was born, and by New York, where he lived when he came to America, because it allows him to tolerate himself in a different way (Kim 5-6). He is a quintessential transnational artist that wants to create art for people from different countries and blur boundaries (Kim 7). Floor by Do-Ho Suh has three-dimensional lines. The glass is in the shape of squares...

These, or other axes, may be referenced to uniquely identify a point or structure in its attitude and relationship to other objects and occurrences. Physical theories that incorporate time, such as general relativity, are said to work in 4-dimensional "spacetime", (defined as a Minkowski space). Modern theories tend to be "higher-dimensional" including quantum field and string theories. The state-space of quantum mechanics is...

...1. The portrait of Three Girls is a very fashionable piece of art. The portrait is painted by William Larkin who is an English artist basically from Great Britain. Larkin is often referred as the Curtain Master, because he quite interesting includes characteristic curtains to frame most of his figures in his portraits. The portrait is very bright and flashy with strong lightning, the colors used for the flesh in the portrait are very polished and all very close attention has been given to the rich fabrics in the picture like the jewelry, accessories adorn by the girls the oriental carpet in the picture. The colors are very interesting like expensive jewelry and is decorated quite heavily. Not just the natural side but the artificial part of the portrait that is the jewelry and the fabric is described in a very detail manner by the artist. 2. The portrait of the three girls is a mysterious artwork. After looking at it carefully observing the details in the art, we could figure out a lot of things about the work. A lot of details are very interesting like the outfit of the girls in the picture is matching, something like a modern family uniform. It is difficult to stick to the fashion when putting it on the canvas since fashions never stays stagnant it is always changing, the clothing style used in the picture helps us identify era period and status. Details like low necklines, laced collars, high waistlines gives an idea that the painting goes back to somewhere around 1620’s...

...Infinity The first Chapter of “To Infinity and Beyond” by Kent A. Bessey discusses the concept of infinity and how it went from a concept to a noun. The first point made is that the number of even positive real numbers is equal to the number of positive real numbers. Basically, with an infinite amount of something, you can split it up into infinite piles and still have an infinite amount in each pile. On a cosmic scale this is interesting to me. If the Universe is truly infinite then there is no center of the Universe, and our galaxy doesn’t even make up a portion of the universe. If the Universe is not infinite, when you stand at the edge of the universe and extend your hand, where does it go? This chapter continues with a discussion of...
