  2. Straightedge and compass construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straightedge_and_compass...

    The compass can have an arbitrarily large radius with no markings on it (unlike certain real-world compasses). Circles and circular arcs can be drawn starting from two given points: the centre and a point on the circle. The compass may or may not collapse (i.e. fold after being taken off the page, erasing its 'stored' radius).

  3. Mathematics and art - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_and_art

    This mathematical foundation was important to him, as it allowed him to deny that the object was "abstract", instead claiming that it was as real as the urinal that Duchamp made into a work of art. Man Ray admitted that the object's [Enneper surface] formula "meant nothing to me, but the forms themselves were as varied and authentic as any in ...

  4. Recognition-by-components theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recognition-by-components...

    The recognition-by-components theory suggests that there are fewer than 36 geons which are combined to create the objects we see in day-to-day life. [3] For example, when looking at a mug we break it down into two components – "cylinder" and "handle". This also works for more complex objects, which in turn are made up of a larger number of geons.

  5. Geometric drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_drawing

    Geometric drawing consists of a set of processes for constructing geometric shapes and solving problems with the use of a ruler without graduation and the compass (drawing tool). [1] [2] Modernly, such studies can be done with the aid of software, which simulates the strokes performed by these instruments. [3]

  6. Symmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry

    Symmetry is important to chemistry because it undergirds essentially all specific interactions between molecules in nature (i.e., via the interaction of natural and human-made chiral molecules with inherently chiral biological systems).

  7. Elements of art - Wikipedia

    A shape is a two-dimensional design encased by lines to signify its height and width structure, and can have different values of color used within it to make it appear three-dimensional. [2] [4] In animation, shapes are used to give a character a distinct personality and features, with the animator manipulating the shapes to provide new life. [1]

  9. Geometric modeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_modeling

    Geometric modeling is a branch of applied mathematics and computational geometry that studies methods and algorithms for the mathematical description of shapes.The shapes studied in geometric modeling are mostly two- or three-dimensional (solid figures), although many of its tools and principles can be applied to sets of any finite dimension.
