Excellent example of right brain learning

I think this is really a great way to learn that is creative and is not addressed enough as a method of learning in schools.  It might really be where education is failing us by not addressing these issues of integrated learning methods.

"The Skewed, Anamorphic Sculptures and Engineered Illusions of Jonty Hurwitz" http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2013/01/the-skewed-anamorphic-sculptures-and-engineered-illusions-of-jonty-hurwitz/

By distorting the sculpture - the reflection is then assembled as the object we recognize.  I be physicists are loving this!

Beautiful Viruses

" Luke Jerram, makes exact glass replicas of harmful viruses: HIV, E. Coli, etc....Each replica is about 1,000,000 times the size of the actual virus." - http://imgur.com/gallery/XpU18

This is his Website...  I just can't get enough of this work.  Turning something scary and deadly into a beautiful work of art.... It makes you want to learn about the viruses, not fear them.
I love it when Art does good.

"Nothing but the flower" Scientific Illustration!

"I've been interested in honing in on the flowers themselves, without context. In taking a subject and taking everything away, and placing them in a neutral space, there's a democratization that happens. The beauty of nature is then able to be realized," Zuckerman says.  -  http://sciencefriday.com/blogs/01/08/2013/nothing-but-flower.html?interest=1&audience=4&series=20
