I have always been amazed at the sheer beauty of some works of art and wondered why one painting excites me more than another. What are some of the secrets that artists used to draw an observer into the artwork? We take our sight for granted, but when we see a certain painting we are particularly moved. Physics is not the easiest of subjects; this is true, however we live physics everyday. I just want to show my students examples of how it can be used to create beautiful art.
