Here is some more art. Notice the beautiful sunset.

Very true. I was going to ask why the College of Architecture would merge with the College of Arts earlier, since it hurts their prestige, but I thought you’d take it as a personal attack, and I didn’t want to de-rail the thread.[/QUOTE]
Architecture is, at its core, a technical art. An architect without artistry is an engineer. There are very many ways that architecture parallels with the other fine arts. The merger doesn’t really dampen the prestige of the School of Achitecture, if anything it raises the prestige of the School of Arts.
And no, that is not something I would have taken as a personal attack. The School of Art here is a great school but does not have the national recognition it deserves. To an outsider, I could understand where you would think that the merger would ‘hurt’ the prestige of the SoA, but it really is a win-win for everybody. There are just too many parallels between art and architecture for the colleges to have remained separate.

Eason, you’re not allowed to look at this picture. It contains no chemistry, equations, or scientific formulas. It is useless.
my point is, how many people have heard of Eupalinus without google?Let’s look at contemporaries from Samos. Pythagoras. Philosopher. Musician. Theoretical mathematician. and then there’s Eupalinus the engineer?
Which one is going to be on Jeopardy?
I was just joking. I am an advent admirer of art and I collect paintings, music and respect the hell out of the artists. I am also an electrical engineer so science is like religion to me. Honestly to be truthful I could quit my job right now, grab a guitar and live on a deserted island (with slave women) for the rest of my life. (or a few weeks at least). damn it I ave high regard for both… BUT as a university- we need techy stuff so our alumni will make more money and donate more… and so we can hire Calipari off of Kentucky.

without Science, there would be no digital cameras.
without art, there would be no need for photography.
without photography, there would be no hot chicks posing in bikinis for pictures.
without hot chicks posing in bikinis for pictures, we have no reason for the Internet.

........Honestly to be truthful I could quit my job right now, grab a guitar and live on a deserted island (with slave women)It's not everything it's cracked up to be. Sure, it's fun at first, but then it gets old after a couple of years.

even if you train them to feed you grapes and beatbox?
haha I said beatbox
how long would you live without clean drinking water?
Doesn’t the Bible say that people lived to be hundreds of years old? Did they have iodine tablets, water filtration plants, etc. back then? If not, then did they just drink the water right out of the stream? What is the average life expectancy now? How old is the oldest living person?
Science has as much to do with the NEED to filter drinking water as it does the actual filtration. Science created pollutants as well as the fix for the pollutants.
There is a balance in life that must be maintained between stoic utilitarianism and pure enjoyment of life. Without English majors, I would not be able to write any of this. Without English majors, everyone would have terrible grammar and spelling capabilities like engineers do (how many engineers do you know that have good grammar skills?).
If everyone were to train for 1 job that serves a utilitarian purpose, the entire world would look like Cold War USSR. Without art and entertainment, the joy would be sucked out of life. Keeping people happy contributes to society because happy people are more productive than unhappy people. That is a contributing factor to why the American economy flourished during the Cold War and why the Soviet economy suffered. Obviously, there were other factors as well.
Remember, history repeats itself. If you are not taught history, you are damned to repeat it.

All of them used a tool in their artistic medium created by…scientists and engineers. The real artists of life!
yeah? well who invented the quill? or the canvas? or the parchment? or the lyre?
thanks for playing.

Not so fast there… the early painters not only mixed their own paint but in most cases made their own utensils.
Next?

Da Vinci, in fact any of your “artists” were also scientists and engineers before industrialization. And having to make their paint and quils and canvass and paper made them better artists, through scientific understanding and its application…aka engineering. Its only since we became able to mass produce and pick s*** up at an art supply store that these titles became separate and defining. I say that as an engineer I am among the most talented of artists. For I not only understand the why, but the how.

And what is Davinci most remembered for? For his paintings.
I’m not saying science isn’t important… surely Davinci was a stellar scientist and an all-around Renaissance man in addition to a prominent artist. I’m just pointing out that Eason’s assesment that the arts are useless is unfounded.

UMMMM…No, he is most remembered as a great inventive thinker. Not an artist.

Really? Ask 10 people to name something from Davinci. I bet most of them say the Mona Lisa.
