    • @OrigamiMaster06
      @OrigamiMaster06 3 года назад

      @@FR0GGYMAN59 I don't disagree that art incorporates math at times. As you've mentioned perspective, shading, dimensioning, and other geometric things are mathematical in concept and are highly integrated into art. I don't think that the production of paper and/or paints qualifies because then you could call almost every profession as scientific as most use some tool or medium which is manufactured using engineering based on science. I would also say that math can be very artistic. As I mentioned fractals as well as the golden ratio, Fourier series, vector fields, and other pleasing math concepts can (in my opinion) be described as artistic. So I'm of the opinion that math is artistic and vise versa.

    He actually left nasa after helping them into the quantum realm. Isn’t that right Mr. LANG!?!? And in our universe he actually makes (folds) the ants instead of talking to them

      That's why he is creating so many ants out of paper
