Art and architecture / Stephen M. Tomecek. - New York : Chelsea House Publishers, 2010. - 174 p. : col. ill. - Experimenting with everyday science .
Includes bibliographical references (p. 166-167) and index.
Science and the origin of art: Experiment 1 : testing the properties of wood ; Experiment 2 : testing the properties of rocks ; Experiment 3 : testing the properties of sediment ; Experiment 4 : testing stress on metal ; Experiment 5 : creating primitive pigments ; Experiment 6 : making paper --Light and color: Experiment 7 : making shadows ; Experiment 8 : separating and blending colors of light ; Experiment 9 : how light affects pigments ; Experiment 10 : mixing pigments ; Experiment 11 : separating pigments --Capturing images: Experiment 12 : diffuse vs. regular reflection ; Experiment 13 : exploring symmetry ; Experiment 14 : maintaining proportions at a distance ; Experiment 15 : how image depth affects perspective ; Experiment 16 : refracting and focusing light ; Experiment 17 : how a camera obscura works --The art of architecture: Experiment 18 : building a stable brick wall ; Experiment 19 : building pyramids ; Experiment 20 : how column shape affects weight support ; Experiment 21 : how tension and compression affect a beam --Spanning the globe: Experiment 22 : how an arch supports a load ; Experiment 23 : triangular supports ; Experiment 24 : how bridge shape affects supported load ; Experiment 25 : spreading the weight in a building's foundation --What the future holds.
Examines some of the scientific principles involved in sculpture, painting, photography, and architecture, and provides scientific activities and experiments that demonstrate those principles.
