  2. Structural coloration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_coloration

    The brilliant iridescent colors of the peacock's tail feathers are created by structural coloration, as first noted by Isaac Newton and Robert Hooke.. Structural coloration in animals, and a few plants, is the production of colour by microscopically structured surfaces fine enough to interfere with visible light instead of pigments, although some structural coloration occurs in combination ...

  3. Motif (visual arts) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motif_(visual_arts)

    A motif may be repeated in a pattern or design, often many times, or may just occur once in a work. [ 1 ] A motif may be an element in the iconography of a particular subject or type of subject that is seen in other works, or may form the main subject, as the Master of Animals motif in ancient art typically does.

  4. Rendering (computer graphics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendering_(computer_graphics)

    The term "neural rendering" is sometimes used when a neural network is the primary means of generating an image but some degree of control over the output image is provided. [8] Neural networks can also assist rendering without replacing traditional algorithms, e.g. by removing noise from path traced images.

  6. Patterns in nature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patterns_in_nature

    Patterns in nature are visible regularities of form found in the natural world. These patterns recur in different contexts and can sometimes be modelled mathematically . Natural patterns include symmetries , trees , spirals , meanders , waves , foams , tessellations , cracks and stripes. [ 1 ]

  7. Algorithmic art - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithmic_art

    For an image of reasonable size, even the simplest algorithms require too much calculation for manual execution to be practical, and they are thus executed on either a single computer or on a cluster of computers. The final output is typically displayed on a computer monitor, printed with a raster-type printer, or drawn using a plotter.

  8. Natural design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_Design

    Thompson believes that is a mistake, because without the concept of design, it is easy for evolutionary theory to become a tautology. [5] [6] [7] Natural design is design-without-a-designer, in the same sense that natural selection is selection-without-a-selector. Design is a term we use to refer to a matching of form and function, and we can ...

  9. Droste effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droste_effect

    The Droste effect (Dutch pronunciation:), known in art as an example of mise en abyme, is the effect of a picture recursively appearing within itself, in a place where a similar picture would realistically be expected to appear. This produces a loop which in theory could go on forever, but in practice only continues as far as the image's ...
