Beschreibung
This book provides readers with an introductory overview of art from the perspective of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The author utilizes well-known and important works of art to demonstrate how STEM concepts apply to them. The book’s examples include a structural analysis of Michelangelo’s David. The author covers major breakthroughs in art history, such as the discovery of perspective. The book also discusses other important elements of art, such as color, from a scientific point of view. The author ensures that readers will understand the art terms used by comparing them with terms used in STEM fields of study.
In addition, this book:
- Demonstrates the broad applications for STEM concepts in unexpected fields, such as art history and appreciation
- Encourages readers to gain an understanding of art that is different from the standard point of view of an art class
- Includes numerous visual examples help readers to understand how the concepts are applied in a variety of ways
