TatecDESMA9 Week 9

Art has many different areas to appreciate in todays society.  One of the most interesting areas that we get to study in the course is the portion of Art and Space.  When we are talking about art and space, there is one person who we cannot leave out of the conversation.  A person who has had an unbelievable impact on the specific topic of space and how it plays a big role in art.  That person is Nicolaus Copernicus.


His influence on art and space created a sense of pride for the people in the world of art because he was a very reputable source and scholar.  If not for Copernicus, there would not be as rich of an artistic culture for space being involved in art.  For his greatness there were few instances that he was referred to as "A hero of space" and that was not a coincidence.












Space is almost like one big masterpiece that was made from a great artist.  When you see pictures all over the internet of space it is miraculous.  People "ooo" and "Ahh" at the site of beautiful pictures and images of space.  it is one of the most fascinating places in the galaxy.  The reason space is considered art is because we have learned that there are many and almost everything we do use and see every day is a type or piece of art that we are able to appreciate in our lives. 

The solar system is a place that there are many people who study it every day.  It is a place of wonder and question. What is it like in space? How far does it go?  The artist who designed the masterpiece that we call space, intended for us to never know and always keep us wondering about the great masterpiece.  Space is a piece of art and nobody can tell you different.  The opportunity to learn about space and art and how they are connected was a great pleasure and one I intend on taking about in the near future.
