Bridging art and physics in teaching

This paper intends to introduce a special way of looking at paintings, poems and the sounds of music. It will be shown how they can illustrate physical phenomena or laws, helping the better understanding. On the way to achieve our aim, we have to find the meeting points of the so called "two cultures", especially of art and physics.
The selected examples mean to provide illustrations to teaching some special chapters of physics: mechanics (the space and time, the theme of dynamics and acoustics), optics (the law of reflection, the perspective, the camera obscure), and quantum mechanics (the duality and the complementarity).
