I was willing to do the sierpinski triangle somewhere in my artwork. So what I decided to do is that I draw a human body part and place fractals in them. So if you think any of my ideas are good, which one do you think I should.
Draw a eye and place a spiral rose inside it. On top of this have the 4 colour theorem inside it
Draw the dragon curve and place the 4 colour theorem in it
Draw the Koch snowflake, where each triangle contains the Sierpinski Triangle

Feedback on the videos: All of them were very interesting.
1) Donald Duck in Mathmagic land- This video was very long, almost half an hour BUT it was very interesting too.
One thing that really surprised me was how music is related to Pythagoras. It would’ve taken ages to work that out.
Another thing that surprised me was that billiards uses so much maths. The player needs to be really good with angles and needs to know the diamond system. Its incredible.
2) TedXEast- Matthew Cross- This video had a lot of interesting examples of the golden ratio and it was hard to choose only two.
The first one that surprised me was the fact that twitter and other popular websites used it. I never knew that the inventors of these websites would be so mathematical. Why would these inventors spend so much time and care about a random ratio when they need just need to make the website look attractive and useful.
The second example which surprised me was Michael Jackson’s Thriller video. It would’ve probably been a co-incidence but the fact that people go really deep into these topics is just amazing.
3) Pythagoras: How to measure beauty- I think that Human beauty is not at all about the physical appearance or numbers for that matter. I believe that it is to do with your personality and beliefs.

As someone who knew a little about fractals before we started, I was interested to learn more about them.
I found it interesting that you can creat fractals such as the Mandelbrot Set by using algebra, as I had no idea it was created that way. I also didn’t realise that repeating patterns went so far into it, it is like hundreds of different fractals in one.
This fractal topic was quite interesting, and I am excited to see what our next topic is.

all three videos were amazing. I was amazed by the Golden Ratio. the lesson was entertaining….

Here are my ideas for the mathematics artwork assignment:
1. A human face drawn in the Golden ratio, with fractals drawn within the face.
2. An eye, with a fractal instead of an eyeball.
3. A human hand, placed on top of a tablecloth. The tablecloth pattered with a large fractal design, slightly crumpled and disfigured by the hand.

Three ideas that I’m interested in doing for the art design are:
1. Pythagoras tree
2. Sierpinski’s Pentagon
3. Golden Ratio Spiral
4. If possible, I would really like to do a Mandelbrot set, although I doubt I would be able to do a decent job at it as it is very precise and I would have to go down to the millimetre.

1. Using the golden spiral I will add in with fractals.
2. 1 point perspective of a building that consists of fractals, golden ratio and symmetry.
3. Same concept but 2 point perspective but also put in the 4 colour-theorem.

Donald Duck in Mathmagic Land:In this video, the ideas of maths being presented were how maths was in music and also a variety of games. I never knew there was more to Pythagoras other than his triangle theorem! I also found it interesting that games would include mathematical concepts, such as Billiards. I wonder if we can use maths to solve other games which involve logic, such as Minesweeper? haha
TED talk:
I was surprised when he said the Apple logo was designed based on the Golden Ratio. I never realised Apple put that much thought into making their logo. I also found it surprising that a section of DNA also has the Golden Ratio.
How to measure beauty:“Is human beauty just about numbers? Why or why not?”
No, I don’t think human beauty is just about numbers. As human beings we have personalities which define us as much as our physical appearance does, if not more importantly. More than just numbers count towards human beauty.

I was flipping through my book and I tried to find what I would be able to construct which would not only be good but not too hard too.
So at the end I decided on:
1. Creating a fractal which incorporates the Golden Ratio
2. A drawing incorporating the 4 colour theorm and maybe the golden ratio and symmetry
3 Finally just a circle fractal within a circle another golden triangle or spiral etc..

This lesson we really explored more about fractals but this unlike other lessons was more mathematical, where as the other lessons we did drawings and watched videos etc.. So it was a change and I was really up for the challenge!! It began with us understanding the fractals that we did the previous lessons and we were introduced to bounded and unbounded sequences. This was a bit confusing at first but I got it eventually! After we explored numbers can be bounded and unbounded and we concluded the double with us incorporating complex numbers which was really interesting to find the solution for the certain question. Before the course began I wanted to do complex numbers and this gave a goo insight and I really like the topic.
