Nature Appreciation: Knowledge as Art

By Anna Ursyn

Computers and internet, Arts and entertainment

Synthetic audio, Automated braille

Summary

If asked what all people can agree with, we can see one answer: we all love Nature, one way or another. In this book, impossible creatures (one can perceive as atoms, molecules, or minerals) playfully deliver computer codes, with an… underlying notion that everything is connected: in nature, materials, sciences, techniques, computing, and the arts. In this innovative space, these characters introduce programming. While coding is intertwined into simple facts, Nature Appreciation shows ways we appreciate nature, thus, helping us learn in a playful, nonjudgmental way.Knowledge is divided into subjects and classes at schools, colleges, then universities. Facts, processes, and rules cannot be separated. They are all connected: biochemistry, product materiality changes from matter to energy and vice versa, and conversion of one state into another. In this book, they are considered as different ways of living, such as: Geo, earth, soil, minerals, and natural resources experienced when walking on the ground. Water, transportation, ecosystems, leisure time, and energy related to water environs. Air, energy, space and planets travel, galatic objects, space junk. One can fly or carry materials and devices through it. Waves, communication, transformation, music, light, color - everything related to light, electromagnetic waves, oscillation, and vibration. Also Visually Static World, Space Exploration, and Deep Underwater are also included. It is a part of the “Knowledge Through the Arts” series, consisting of:Dance Code - Dance Steps as a CodeNew Storytelling - Learning Through MetaphorsCode Appreciation - Reshaping KnowledgeNature Appreciation - Knowledge as Art
