Week 9 | Space+Art

The topic this week is space and art.  Personally I am quite fascinated by space and the universe.  It seems so surreal that we are just a tiny part of the universe. People have been studying space for centuries and yet we still have little knowledge of our surroundings.


While space technologies have greatly improved and the first satellite,  Sputnik, was only launched in 1957.  Movies and books have been greatly influenced by space and its mysteries. We all try to tell our own version space.  Movies like Interstellar, ET, Gravity, and much more are the results of people's imaginations of space exploration.




















Space is a region that is filled with patterns of beauty and  art.  Space art is actually a modern genre that shows the wonders of the Universe.  Some of the art in this genre is simply breathtaking and hard to imagine is real.
