Fractal Art in practice

In the last week I was thinking about “how to explain fractal without Algorithm and mathematics.” On the 6.10.2010 I get an Idea and was first working on it to see if it works.

After this I made a research if someone made the same explanation like me. And luckily there is Heinz-Otto Peitgen who did a seminar with the same principle. It`s called Paper-Folding-Fractals.  I looked what books he have and some are interesting and will be used if I find them in the libery. Also I was reading a book about Fractal to get more knowledge about it and this have also changed my questions.

This week I will collect my footage and books to start with the deeper research.

I will also try to make a visualising of the mathematics fractal and a small explanation of the mathematics.

My Writing contents look like this:

Heinz-Otto Peitgen of the CeVis Research Centre at the University of Bremen, in Germany, gave a lecture about the paper folding principle in 1994. This Principe is a good way for explaining Fractal Geometry. Also I found several books and Videos about this topic.

• Peitgen, H.-O., Jürgens, H., Saupe, D.: Chaos and Fractals, Springer-Velag New York, inc., 1992
• Peitgen, H.-O., Richter, P.: The Beauty of Fractals, Springer-Verlag, Heidelberg, 1986
• Peitgen, H.-O., Saupe, D.: The Science of Fractal Images, Springer-Verlag, New York, 1988
• Gary William Flake: The Computational Beauty of Nature, The MIT Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts 1999

I found this lecture when I was searching for a way explaining Fractal art without mathematic.

SO the paper folding principle is a good way to explain it because it is a visual way to show how it works.

On this page is it explained how the dragon fractal works with the folding principle: http://www.cs.unm.edu/~joel/PaperFoldingFractal/construct.html

Small Introduction

I didn't know that I have to open a blog for this module.

I started a dairy with Microsoft word and have keeped it always in update.
so now because I have to open a blog, I will put every post in a own post.

I have started first with finding 3 interesting  topics with 3 questions.

My three topics where

Mel scripting

Questions:

1. How useful is it to use the Mel scripting and not just the tools in Maya for Animation?
2. What the different does a script work?
3. The difference between scripting (in language MEL) and system programming (in language such as C and Java)

Fractal Art

Questions:

-        What kind of differences have we at Fractal Art and why?

-        How become art?-deffention and art and where from?

-        What is in Fractal for Mathematics?

-        How is it possible to put mathematic and Art together on one print?

Stop motion

Question:

- Stop motion now and in the past? What changed the technique and why we still using this technique?
