Is is Science or is it ART?

Can you figure out how each of these 'pieces' was created?



I might just have to send out a prize if someone gets all 3 correct. Hmmm...I wonder what I have to give as a prize? Bonus points if you know where I was when I took these photos. Answers coming at the beginning of the week.

The first one looks like one of those toys I had as a kid - spiraling something. The second one looks like rust and mold and something else (or an extreme close up of a painting, but I'm sticking with my first guess). And the third is definitely something to do with prisms.

i'm with dorothy. they're all science. the first one has to do with the motion of pendulums. the second is oxidation of metal. and i'm going with prisms for the final one, too. all science is art isn't it? (says the chem major dropout...)

Spirograph!!! I loved that thing... wonder where mine went?

Icky nature #2, and prism-something #3.

A science museum?

I know I'll get the mdeiums wrong, but I'm guessing you took pictures of these from the fair art exhibit. :) I didn't get around to looking at any really, but I did see quite a huge display.

1. I would have guessed spirograph too. I didn't have one, but I thought it only did symmetrical forms. See... that's what I get for not having one. :P

2. Looks like sponge art (at least that was my guess, but after reading the others' responses, I totally see the metal oxidation veiwpoint).

3. reflections under water.

1. computer generated beauty using concentric spirals...I don't think Spirograph because

2. Made by heat and pressure...a rock.

3. made by bending light. my guess is water, too.
