Physics in the Arts: Painting, sculpture, music, dance, literature

Physics in the Arts: Painting, sculpture, music, dance, literature

Paper details:
Group 3: Physics in the Arts: Painting, sculpture, music, dance, literature, etc. 10-20 points

This is not for a painting directly about physics, for example of a lever, but a painting where we see physics at work in the background.

You can substitute what you want for “painting”!

For example I recall one painting intended just as a beautiful landscape. But part of the background showed a canal (to transport canal boats) going over a river. Clearly there is a lot of physics involved in how and why you would have a canal go OVER a river!
