Science + Art = Magic (Part 1)

I am a musician. I play the harp.  I also once played the clarinet and the piano. I took dance lessons for 12 years (ballet, tap, and jazz).  And I love to draw and paint, but I'm not very good at it.  I love the arts and I love the intersection of science and art.  Without science, you wouldn't have art. And without art, science would be very lonely and boring.

Here are a few fascinating articles that I found that show the combination of science and art. 

STEM or STEAM?

Nobody can deny the growing emphasis on STEM—science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, among the educators and educational reformers. The emphasis on STEM comes with a hidden cost. As more attention is devoted to STEM related curriculum, it often means subtracting art or music from the already limited time and resources at the school.

Art for art's sake - what you see is what you get

Over the course of my career, I have had a few people suggest that I go into teaching art, since that is my training and passion. Now, I am fairly confident I would make a very average teacher at best - I tend to think too much about what you "should" be telling kids. As luck would have it, I have nonetheless been called into service to help someone near and dear to me: my younger son.
