Traditionally, art and science have been treated as two separate disciplines. But for those who studied art and science together, those 2 disciplines have an impact one on the other. It is the creativity here that is required to make a scientific move in such cases, while art is often an expression, or maybe an expression of scientific knowledge. There are two differences between art and science. If art is subjective, then science must be objective. If it is so, then art must express knowledge in the form of subjective representation. Does science really offer a sustainable enough system of acquiring knowledge or it is that artistic creativity completes the picture somehow?
