This episode of The Code began with Mr. Du Sautoy giving another example of mathematical principles in the real world. This example happens in northern Ireland where a small short line of rocks is arranged into odd hexagonal shapes. To highlight this principle further, Mr. Du Sautoy moved onto another example in nature which should be very close to home and that is bees. Bees make their hives out of a precious substance to them known as wax. Was, being very hard for them to produce, is put into the most efficient and space saving form as possible. This shape is again, the hexagon. When anything comes into the universe it tries to become the most efficient shape it can possibly be. An example that Mr. Du Sautoy gives is bubbles. Bubbles are …show more content…
However, when multiple spheres are put together they share common walls. These common walls can be perfectly straight and then become the next most efficient shape. So, when putting the most efficient singular shape together many times, it will eventually create a lot of hexagons. This is the reason for the exquisite looking beach and why bees chose to make their hives in the shape of hexagons. It is the most efficient shape that can be mass reproduced. Next, Mr. Du Sautoy moved onto the study of measuring the Earth and shapes, in other words geometry. The example Mr. Du Sautoy uses is that of mines. Deep into the Earth in Germany there are perfectly cubic shaped salt crystals. These crystals are created so perfectly because the atoms of sodium and chlorine are perfectly cubic. This translates into the larger crystals being perfectly cubic. Mr. Du Sautoy expresses how the Greeks seemed obsessed with five common shapes in geometry. When diving deep into atomic structure we see these shapes all over from viruses to salt. Next, Mr. Du Sautoy moved onto talking about a painter known as Jackson Pollock. Jackson Pollock was a famous artist from the mid 20th
Jackson Pollock was a legendary, novel, abstract expressionist who has created numerous paintings through his drip-style, action painting technique (Goodnough, 2012). Theosophical influence arose from Phillip Guston and Thomas Hart Benton, while in the early stages of the artist’s life. Muralists, such as Jose Clemente Orozco and Diego Rivera were also admired and studied by Pollock. He was captivated by the unorthodox techniques of David Alfaro Siqueiros which contributed to the abstract style of Jackson Pollock (Solomon, 1987).

The crystalline shape represents not only how we view everything but also the illusions in nature. 1 Smithson did several more pieces involving mirrors and glass that incorporated natural materials like shells and soil.
“Like the American Indians who let sand run through their clenched fists to make very artistic patterns and circles at their feet, Pollock created tangled webs of proliferating lines, curves, swirls and patches in pure paint” (Köster & Röper, 2006, pp 152).
Another intriguing example of his creativity is his “Man in the Vegetables” (Figure 3). When initially looking at the painting, it appears to be a simple bowl of fruits and vegetables. However, when flipped over, the bowl transforms into a hat topping the face of a man whose cheek is constructed from an onion, his lips from carrots and a turnip nose.
This task consists of 6 different shapes, and one at a time one of these shapes appears in the middle and you must choose which shape it
In Monster Busters: Hexa Blast, there are more than 50 levels in various shapes. A portion of the sheets are heart-molded, while others are geometric, others look like creatures, and so on. What they all have in like manner, however, are the hexagonal cells.
In the film: “The Math Code: Shapes,” the view first learns about the universe. Professor Marcus de Sautoy tells the viewers that the world is structured by strict geometric codes; which were discovered by the Greek. The film informs us that absolutely everything in the world can be explained/ solved with these math codes. This film focuses on how everything in the universe is connected with the “math code.” There were many things that I found interesting, and some information left me with confusion and questions.
Go back to the list, select amylopectin (a branched form of starch) A.What is the overall shape of an amylopectin molecule? Helical shape with more branches of helical away from the central
However, Manovich points out that the artists from the fifth century B.C. they were trying to create illusions in their art. He also talks about Zeuxis, Greek painter who created
There are all different factors that go in with tessellations. There are regular tessellations, semi-regular tessellations, monohedral tessellations, duals, M.C. Escher and modified monohedral tessellation and aperiodic tessellations. A regular tessellation has “...three regular shapes…: the equilateral triangle, the square and the regular hexagon.” The “[s]emi- regular tessellations are made of more than one kind of regular tessellations.” There are more tessellations and different rules that come into play when making them, but they all
That basic shape appears at the center
Vincent Van Gogh uses the 7 elements of art in his famous painting, “Starry Night”. He uses the element line by painting swirly lines to create the sky. He also uses organic curvy lines in order to paint the tree in the picture. He uses short dash like lines to create houses and buildings in the village. For example, “Line is one of the most prominent elements in this painting.”
The discoveries by Renaissance scholars in subjects as different as atonomy, music and maths all helped humanists. Scholars considered shapes, such as squares and circles, to be mathematically perfect. They were delighted that Roman architect Vitruvius had suggested that a perfect human body was naturally in harmony with these perfect mathematical forms. They took this harmony as evidenve of a 'grand design', by which the univese had been formed. Michaelangelo intended his painting to be more than just a picture: it is a statement of humanist beliefs in the power and beuty of humankind.
One type of solid is crystalline solid. In a crystalline solid, the particles are in a repeating pattern. These patterns are known as crystal lattice structures. There are many types of lattice structures which include: cubic, hexagonal, triclinic, monoclinic, trigonal, orthorhombic, and tetragonal. An example of a crystalline solid is carbon. These solids have characteristics of geometrical shapes ("Properties of Matter").
