HaoFDesma9: HaoFDesma9 Week 1

As a UCLA student who takes Desma 9 and Life Science 1 at the same quarter, I could definitely see and experience the differences and connections between art and science. Learning science in a second language will not be something that is pretty fun. I am an international student study Physiological science in a foreign country. A big part of my motivation is the artistic aspect of science.

This picture shows the light refraction, which is the principle of rainbow formation. I can still remember my middle school physics teacher showed me the light refraction and how amazed I was back in that time. I could still remember his word. "It seems that science is so useful that we could keep rainbow in our hand"This experiment raised my interest toward science and it totally inspired me to be dedicated for science.

The picture above is the famous Vitruvian drawn by Leonardo Da Vinci. It was drawn by ink and pen on a paper that shows a male with the perfect body proportion. This is totally a combination of science and art.

Kevin Kelly, in the article "The Third Culture", do think that Technology is seizing the world and going to become the third culture(131-132). But in my point of view, science and art still have the world just as he says. "The cultural center of Western civilization has pivoted around the arts, with science orbiting at a safe distance.". (9-11)The perfect example of Kevin's word would be the European Renaissance and the Industrial revolution. People usually think of them independently but if we make a deeper think we would find that people get inspired during the Renaissance and that is the basic stuff for people to perform the Industrial revolution later.
