Science and Art

In pursuing a form to replicate our understanding of the world around us, we choose science over the arts because we as humans are in an everlasting quest to obtain all the answers to our questions about the universe. Both science and math give us definitive answers to our questions, which is why people enjoy the sciences. However, there are people who are not as curious for answers and instead enjoy art as an escape from the world’s daunting questions. Science and art coexist in our world. In art, we can use science and math. Examples of this include Leonardo da Vinci’s anatomical sketches or noticing the geometry in dance positions in the photos we viewed on the Alvin Ailey tour. Art in science has been shown through various ways, including the Guggenheim’s collaboration with New York Academy of Sciences, as science is made into an art of sorts. There is not much difference between art and science. They both are measurements; while science is a quantitative measure, art is a demonstration of our measured emotions. As a result, they often can be found within each other.
