Any Muslim artist must work within strict guidelines‚ largely set out in the Qur ’an‚ when producing any work of art. These guidelines define what is acceptable as a subject for a work of art and also the form

develop better ways of presenting them using colours and shapes to create a harmonious depiction. Picasso drew inspiration and unlike Cezanne he didn’t use the simplified shapes and sharp lines to add depth but to break down the subject into other geometric forms. Picasso wanted to construct an image rather than represent it‚ like his influence Paul Cenzanne. In a representation the artist takes what they see and paints it on canvas. Picasso reconstructs the subject with different segments that allow

The life of the hero theseus Aegeus‚ king of Athens‚ and the sea god Poseidon both slept with Theseus’s mother‚ Aithra‚ on the same night‚ supplying Theseus with both divine and royal lineage. Theseus was born in Aithra’s home city of Troezen‚ located in the Peloponnese‚ but as an adolescent he traveled around the Saronic Gulf via Epidauros‚ the Isthmus of Corinth‚ Krommyon‚ the Megarian Cliffs‚ and Eleusis before finally reaching Athens. Along the way he encountered and dispatched six legendary

Escher (M.C. Escher) is widely considered the most popular example of the mathematical influence in art. Though never formally trained in math‚ Escher’s initial interest in decorative art sparked a curiosity in certain mathematical areas such as geometric shapes‚ tessellations and spatial planes/demensions. His interest in both aesthetic and logic resulted in provoking visual representations of multiple dimension. Escher’s understanding of mathematics in combination with his artistic skill provides

led to a doctrine forbidding images of animate beings in religious context. Even Qur’an itself as a religious text‚ it was never illustrated with images of any animate beings. Instead‚ it is ornamented with patterns‚ such as vegetal patterns and geometric patterns. Vegetal patterns are used in many different places like in architectures‚ carpets‚ potteries‚ Qur’an‚ and so on. Usually‚ Mihrab‚ a niche that indicates the direction of Mecca‚ is decorated thoswith greater skill than other elements

The Art of Greek Theater The theater and all it encompassed played an integral role in the lives of the ancient Greeks. From the architecture and costumes‚ to the mask‚ the art of the theater was a feast for the senses and inspired artists to recreate what was seen on stage on more permanent media‚ thus enriching the lives of future generations. It is believed that theater began as a religious experience in order to honor the gods. Drama developed out of choral dances for Dionysus‚ the Greek god

Various geometric operations can be formed by folding a piece of paper‚ using the raw edges and points of the paper‚ as well as any subsequent crease lines and points created while folding. Any basic fold has a geometric pattern. You will see complex geometric patterns when you unfold it‚ even if the model you folded was a simple one. Math and Origami and both considered to be ancient

What is the geometric return for the stock? Using the equation for the geometric return‚ we find: Geometric average return = [(1 + R1) × (1 + R2) × … × (1 + RT)]1/T – 1
