Applied Project: Math and Art Garden.
It was my desire with this project to
develop upon the ideas touched on in my literature review of finding
creative inspiration in the world around us. It was important to me
to demonstrate in the literature review that both art and mathematics
could be found in nature, and in the constructs of humanity.
To this end, I have chosen to develop a
large scale public garden based on Maths and Art principals such as
the Fibonacci Sequence, and Euclidean Geometry and the resulting
spirals and ratio.
The performance and idea of a wonderful
public garden is a collaboration between artistic and mathematical
principles. The secret of a truly great garden is that it enlargens
us. Participants of a Math and Art Trail may step into one to admire
and enjoy it, which of course they will, but hopefully can be
creatively inspired (a large focus of the Math and Art Trail process
-which was touched on heavily within my literature review).
Participants may come out with a new set of parameters with which to
measure life.
I wanted to develop the idea that
nature and human construct could work in harmony. That these two
contrasting ideas could be constructed together to create beautiful
works of art and application of mathematical properties.
Lastly I wanted to approach the idea
that finding inspiration in Math and Art was easy if one knew how to
apply themselves to looking for it. I hope that this place could
hypothetically provide this inspiration, and aid anyone who was to
stumble upon it in their journey to find their muse in the wonders of
Art and Mathematics.
