This summer while I traveled to London, UK, a type of technology-based art outside a store called Debenhams (Figure 1) caught my eyes and inspired me to create my work of art in this course.1 This sculpture was created by Ned Kahn, who often creates works that integrate the four natural elements with technology.3 As seen in Figure 1, the walls of Debenhams use screens to create waves or a ripple effect throughout the screen. For my final project, I have attempted to create a fusion between engineering, science, and art through the medium of a dynamic sculpture titled “Fluctus […]

It was initially shocking; something […]

On the contrary, school uniforms are great because they add to the learning environment, they enhance school security, and they promote equality. Since teenagers are highly prone to being overly […]

First of all, we must abandonthe idea that there is a single compact definition of “beautiful” andthat we can therefore know through fixed standards what is beautiful: theconcept of beauty depends primarily on the various civilizations.
