March has meant a new challenge for students at the "Ion Ghica" Economic College to participate in an unusual competition (or perhaps not) when it comes to STEAM, a literary competition. The competition consisted of producing a story of about. 500 words, "Art and Science - A Personal Story", where students describe a personal experience where art has met happily with science. The competition is, at the same time, a way of selecting the three participants in the exchange of pupils to be held from 26 to 31 May 2019 in Castroverde, Portugal. In addition, we will award a prize to a student who will take part in a robotic circle for a period of three months. Below are the winners and ... their stories. Colours attract you like a magnet – Diana Anghel It was the end of May, and summer began to make its presence felt. The playful, warm sun rays beat violently among the drapes and spilt over the white sheets scattered all over my desk. I remember having a project to physics about magnetism and staying for hours in front of the desk without any idea. I was stressed, I was playing with a magnet through my fingers, and I was thinking what use I could assign it in daily life. At one point, my brother entered the room and gladly asked him to help me. I saw how he took the remote, turned on the TV and came over to me and asked for my magnet. He approached the TV and he started moving the magnet slowly, a short distance away from the screen. Suddenly, an abstract drawing, made up of blue, green and red circles, appeared on the screen over the image that had remained intact underneath. He quickly picked up the magnet because he was afraid of spoiling the TV and told me he didn't know its another use in daily life. Even though I knew it hadn't happened in that way, the colours seemed to be attracted to the magnet as though you would have painted with them. I had an idea, although I wasn't too sure about it. The next day, at my insistence, I went with my father to his job. When I arrived, I immediately went to a room inside the warehouse where I have known the paints are kept. I found pretty fast what I was looking for and excited I took the first box that came to my hand and I removed the lid. It was a dark green. I moved the magnet over the colour, and I watched how the colour began to disturb and take the direction of the magnet. I smiled, I turned the box to the ingredients and I saw that has particles of iron powder in its composition. It's called ferromagnetic paint and it wasn't used at cars how I originally thought. I used a syringe to take samples of four colours: red, yellow, blue and white, combining them to get more shades. Later, on the same day, I went to a building materials store and bought a small sheet of building board because we needed a material that would allow the magnetic field to pass to the paint. I put a few drops on the sheet, and on the back, I put the magnet. A fine line went along with the magnet on the surface, combining with the other colours encountered in the path. "The painting" could be qualified as abstract art, depending on how you see it. However, my teacher was impressed by the idea and I got away from the project well. Using a magnet to try to paint can be difficult and complicated, but at the same time interesting and different. The fact that the magnet can attract some iron-containing colours demonstrates that science and art can combine to create something unique to each one's eyes. Art and science, a personal story - Alexandru Paunescu You may have thought that science and art are not related to each other and that they are different, wrong, they are closer than we might think. For example: the wonderful phone that makes us the best day contains the two great areas of science art because a designer designed the shape of the phone to look more beautiful and to sell better and on the science side had to conceive on the hardware side a well-insulated, voltage-resistant system and other elements in physics, the battery is made with the help of chemistry and physical science. I have been in robotics for some time and I can say it's a fascinating activity that takes my time learning new things. Certainly here we find art too, being on the programming side, I need a rich imagination to see what the robot would do in that case, and science to help in choosing the right materials and engines. Idea, in robotics, we are a team formed only by high school students, we participate in an annual competition called FTC and every year they come with something different , this year we have to do a robot that gathers cubes and spheres under the command of two members and a part in which it will break down itself, and it has to make some demands. The second experience I had was an older one, and it is deeper and relates to physics, the atomic/nuclear/ quantum physical branches. I know it's a boring field for some or very complicated but for me, it's relaxation and I can easily imagine a lot of theories. The physics class I learned in the fourth grade, starting to like my idea of science, later learning in classes 6-7 of these physical branches. I have always liked to study and deepen them, considering that the world is conceived of, and whatever is done today are developments and branches that have emerged to create what we see nowadays. I'm not going to talk very much, but they'll have examples of some achievements with their help: - Optical fibre - lasers (when detecting different radiation) - the cars - Microscope There are some examples of man-made achievements and improved with these branches. The third experience was on the part of mechanics, a field that I like to do in my spare time and I can apply it in games simulating the reality quite well, and in fact, I have a smaller ATV where I fix it and try I'm improving it. Sciences are defended because the engine is driven by an internal explosion and this generates forces and art, we just know the design of today's cars that are beautiful and what we are attracting to buy them. This is what my father does with my father's help, and he teaches me everything he knows. In the future, I would like to have a car tuning workshop just passionate and become a white-haired scientist looking like she was plugged in😁😂. Insights - Stănescu Ștefan, cls. a X-a D Science and art are generally seen as two different areas, although they share common points, support and complement each other. A very good example can be an electronic microscope. It can help us to grow an object up to a million times. In order to make an idea a yarn from a spider web is 100 times thinner than the human hair. This image is assembled with the help of science and the new look of the cloth will help young artists with new inspiration in the field art Leonardo da Vinci is known as a great painter and a universal spirit was passionate about the field of anatomy, music, botany and many others. He will always be known for creating famous paintings Mona Lisa, remaining a great image of art. What he does not know much the world is that da Vinci was the first man to design in a few sketches a machine that should fly inspired by bird wings by combining its main arts and science domains. For a teenager quite interested in the unknown, I was passionate about SF films. The concept of art appears here through the imagination and the talent for creating the characters and the realization of a very well designed frame through aesthetic details. The concept of science appears in creating a script of the stories in detail where the effects of the film differ from year to year in the good you are good to me. This area of films is very interesting to me by enriching your imagination for a positive purpose and by the way it is brought to life through the help of actors, stuntmen and special effects. The story of the film is based on a lot of failures but only with the help of science has managed to excel. In conclusion, art and science can be seen from two different points of view, but they can be combined in some situations to create something very beautiful. Icon - Nicola Ghinea (9A)
It was a wonderful spring day, the week before Easter, and I was in the 4th grade when the painter Bob Nicolescu, a very good family friend, came to visit us. He began to tell that he had initiated a project with students at Leresti School, Arges, where they were to make an exhibition of painted icons on the glass for Easter. The participants in this activity were children from primary to secondary classes. Bob's story caught my eye and became curious, especially because I couldn't imagine how children who had no connection with arts would be able to accomplish in such a short time, about a week, an exhibition. Bob explained to me that the art of painting icons on glass belongs to the category of folk art and belongs exclusively to Transylvanian craftsmen. It is said that they work on models (izvod, izvor) that they periodically draw and execute these wonderful icons. It is also said that these are older than 200-300 years. The icons crafted by craftsmanship families who pass this job from generation to generation. Each member of the family carries out a part of the work and the one who is actually considered to be master draws the drawing and finishes the work. The icons on the glass aren't signed, they aren't the creation of a single artist. In the context of this discussion in which I was explained that there is a special technique for that and patience and the desire to pain your own icon, I can join with this group for my first painting exhibition on the glass. I made my luggage and left with Bob to Leresti, which is a very beautiful locality near Campulung Muscel with fresh mountain air and I went to this workshop that was right in the courtyard of the church in Leresti. I met children and I started working. There were many people then and they all had their own work to expose. Surely Bob couldn't provide us with the 200-300 years old sources, but each of us chose a technique from the old icons and started working by following the steps that the master points to. I started with the drawing on the paper, I prepared the bottle that must be colourless at which thickness is very important influencing the final result, respectively the colour can be blurred or lit, we polished the edges in order not to accuse us and degreased it very well so as to be possible to print the colours. When making the drawing on the sheet, it must be taken into account that the images will appear in the mirror. The prepared glass is placed over the drawn sheet and is black outlined on it. Then cover with a layer of oil or a special spray and leave it for a day. Then painting itself begins by first staining the faces, hands, and parts of the body that are seen. Apply the white colour first, following the lighter colours. For shadows, black is never used; instead, colours are only combined with blue or green. In fact, black in this painting is used only for contours. Finally, the clothes and the background are painted. And so I managed to have my own painted icon on the bottle. Each Easter from then on reminded me of this exhibition and the fact that anything is possible when you follow rules, you are guided by a master and you really want to do something. |
