Space +Art

This week's topic dealt with the close analysis of the way in which we inevitably fuse art and space. I thought that the combination of these two is something that we don't automatically think about because the galaxies, planets, and milky ways are just not something we see everyday as it is not something accessible. However, space itself is something that can be artistic just because of the way that it has been designed.

He then begins to adjust the pixels and their brightness. The effect of doing this are the images below:
