Scientists have studied trees depicted in various works of art and found they follow relatively simple mathematical rules ...

I love drawing trees; they can be complex to draw, particularly the very large ones with twisted trunks that have a lot of character. Very large trees have been around for hundreds of years ...

Trees can tell us a lot from the stories etched into their bark. One Charlotte artist has captured some of those stories ...

“We analyse trees in artwork as self-similar, fractal forms, and empirically compare art with theories of branch thickness developed in biology,” researchers explained. open image in gallery ...

The math concept hidden in this tree art — geometric shapes known as fractals — is apparent in branching patterns in nature and may be key to humans’ ability to recognize such artwork as ...
