Art is in Everything

Throughout our time as a sentient species and having some sort of self awareness during our early stages of development in life we have always found a necessity to create. The cave paintings discovered, the formation of Stonehenge, then all the way up until now. This need to create has been ingrained in our DNA. 

I have found that you can discover any subject matter by just referring to art. If you would like to learn about history, possibly WWI you can look at propaganda posters, you can look at the style of the uniforms. Each one carries a functionality and a design aesthetic particular to that point in time which would lead to the overall battles and philosophies of different countries. If you would like to learn about mathematics you can look at fractals, or the golden ratio, or art based in geometry. If you look at the beauty of the pantheon with its sculptural abilities and attention to detail in an artistic sense you see the intricate mathematical and geometric sensibilities it carries. Just by looking at art it can lead to all types of subjects which you can further learn simply by referring to a piece of art. 

A more relevant piece of art that helped influence astrophysics was the film Interstellar. The wild perspective of black holes and intense 3D modeling during the making of the film, lead to new theories and possibilities of how we understand black holes. When paintings a scene with sunlight or moonlight we can fundamentally understand how light reflects and refracts onto people or objects. By simply further investigating why light does this we can delve into the physics of how light bends and distorts when coming through our atmosphere or onto different objects within our surroundings. 

As a final thought, the arts can literally be found in any and every subject that we learn. So by investigating time into learning art and taking art to a science, we see that science, then becomes an art.
