In this weeks material we learned about nanotech and art as it brigs a new world into our eyes, it goes beyond on what we believe art is today. It is on an uprising in the art culture as it brings you over the edge of what art actually is. Nanotechnology is “the branch of technology that deals with dimensions and tolerances of less than 100 nanometers, especially the manipulation of individual atoms and molecules.” Nanoparticles   Discussed in Dr. Gimzewski lecture, Nano particles are being used in applications for technology. Nanoparticles are being used in medicine for therapy to change people’s lives. These Nano particles are targeting certain tumors, drugs and it also offers great benefit for people that have cancer for their chemotherapy where they rejoice the toxicity for the treatment. For example, in 2005 Abraxane marketed cancer Nano drugs that consisted of chemotherapeutic with liposome or protein albumin. Nanotechnology and art have many ideas and possibil

Neuroscience and Art Although art and neuroscience go together, after this week's material, I found the combination very interesting. With the visualization and creativity seen of all types of art, neuroscience helps your brain see it in many different angles. Neuroscience “ the structure or function of the nervous system and brain.” But, I believe neuroscience and art helps us appreciate the development of how our mind controls our emotions.

This all ties into art and neuroscience because it creates outrageous colors and different shapes of the objects around you. For example, back in the day LSD was a popular drug and a baseball pitcher named Dock Ellis threw a no-hitter on LSD. Another interesting topi
