How is mathematics used in art?

Answer 1

This is a very broad question. Mathematics is used in almost every aspect of art, and most universities even offer an entire class called Mathematics in Art and Architecture.

If you're looking for a simple answer, techniques like tiling, tessellation, perspective, pattern, and symmetry are some of the most common techniques used in art that require the use of math.

Answer 2

In digital Photography it could be used when editing or taking the picture an example could be changing pixels or maybe angles needed for a picture.

In manual film cameras math is needed much more like when mixing chemicals you need to know the ratio of chemicals to development time and temperature can be a factor also. the aperture on a camera (controls the amount of light let on to the film to capture the image) and shutter time (how long the light is let on to the film) has to be determined. All mostly has to do with times on exposure and chemical ratios.

Answer 3

Some artists use math to calculate the amount of supplies and money they need to put into a certain project. other artists use math when drawing blue prints for buildings or statues.

Answer 6

When you draw a house you are drawing a square and a triangle.

Answer 7

mathematics is related to art, music, and sport because when you draw a picture you have to know how much strokes to put and it all goes around to math

Answer 8

you find area or perimeter in shapes like square and triangle

Answer 9

All of them.
