Why are art and science often seen as opposites? It’s common to experience a division of these two disciplines starting in school with separate art classes and science classes.
Debates over the validity or value of one over the other are not uncommon either, but debates like that seem silly if you stop to think about how art and science so naturally coalesce.
Science and art share a symbiotic relationship. When artists and scientists come together or individuals embrace both in their work, they find a synergy that drives innovation and creativity.
