<p>Is the world of science separated or connected with the world of art and the humanities? Thanks!</p>
<p>Interesting topic.</p>
<p>Consider the natural or “hard” sciences, like mathematics and physics. Then consider how these sciences, like mathematics, are applied to artwork. When you normally think of mathematics, you imagine formulas and complicated arithmetic, but you also see patterns, perspective, symmetry and shapes. </p>
<p>The Renaissance is probably the most clear cut example of the use of perspective. Before the Renaissance, artwork had absolutely no perspective. People were drawn larger than the surroundings around them, distances between varying objects were non existent. Look up some pre Renaissance paintings and compare them to the likes of Raphael’s School of Athens and notice the extreme differences!</p>
<p>Consider architecture, and just how specific architects have to be when drawing up plans for a new building or house. Mathematics finds itself wherever art exists.</p>
<p>Architecture: find the construction and history of any famous landmark - golden gate bridge etc.</p>
<p>Gaileleo: science vs church - science can’t be separated from human interpretation. Or maybe as an example that they shouldn’t be mixed.</p>
<p>Universe: Scientific beauty in mathematical constructs.</p>
<p>Famous civilizations: greeks etc - mixed art, science, philosophy together successful. Look into famous people in that time period. Enlightment periods globablly, china, rome etc…</p>
<p>It’s a little more straightforward to argue that they are separated but you could make a more complex argument if you argue that they are together. Those are the examples I would be able to think of without research and in test-taking conditions.</p>
<p>This isn’t an SAT essay topic right?</p>
