I have so many thoughts and ideas about this folder! I'm excited to open this up and look forward to hearing your ideas and thoughts about this topic, too. But...I'm tired at the moment :( so I'm creating the folder just to give you a heads-up on something I would like to create in the future and give you the opportunity, also, to think of some ideas or even start a thread or more on your own if you feel so inclined.

Feel free to add your own thoughts anytime, even if I haven't opened anything up yet. I will throw out some ideas I've had if anyone wants to expound on these or some of your own. I hope to come back to this soon, maybe even later today.

Let's get into this!

Some of my ideas:


--Comparing actual anatomical reality of Michelangelo's David to his use of illusional dimensions

--Leonardo da Vinci Vitruvian Man

--Anatomical study of Théodore Géricault’s Masterpiece: Raft of the Medusa

"Practically speaking, art is a product of expression. In the abstract, art is often practiced either to make sense of our reality or to create a manifestation of the consciousness of the artist itself. Science, on the other hand, is an exploration of the world around us in an effort to find universal, indisputable truths.

In short, art is often introspective while science is extrospective. You might say art is used to understand the consciousness while science is used to understand the external reality.

Obviously, “what is art?” is a much more controversial question than “what is science?”. Here, we’re working with a general definition. If you disagree or think your concept of art would change our arguments, please, share your ideas.

Can truth and beauty mix? Is it possible for a work of science to be a work of art, or vice-versa? Above all, what is the connection between art and science? Where does one draw the line? Is there even a line?"

What do you think?
