LOL at that picture tho. Not sure if you were referencing to visual arts versus science but it's hilarious when noting from the picture that being artistic is looking like less of a nerd. Science is also a form of art. Art itself does not confine to being just paint on a canvas to playing a musical instrument or wearing artsy clothing. Art is in everything that can be observed. Science is also art because it requires creativity along with intellect. A lot of observing is involved in the field and without a creative mind, research will always be constructed in a similar pattern. But that doesn't mean everything is done without a similar pattern or procedure. It also requires a creative mind to set apart from the pattern. Simply the act of designing or observing something can already be considered art. An admiration for the complexity of an subject is art in itself. Saying one is better than the other is laughable. No topic is more important than the other. It's only individually important if you excel better in one than the other.
