@SmilingTexan Art is important in life, but the term STEM is not about iterating the things that are important in life. It is about closely related disciplines that form a single unifying category. must know all 4 to do any of those four. It is quite impossible to be a scientist without knowing math, or an engineer without knowing the science behind what you build. While I might agree you will be a less capable scientist if you have never studied art you are still more than capable of doing science regardless.
QOTO is a community exclusively for professionals, students, and enthusiasts of STEM. While I would love to think some of (and I hope many of) our members do some form of art as a hobby it would be counter intuitive to allow artists in who do not otherwise have a stem background.
What are of STEM do you engage with?
@SmilingTexan Ahh I see, well that makes sense then. I would agree entierly with that, encouraging the study of art, particularly by those in STEM, is important for a well rounded individual and makes them a better STEM professional.
@freemo I wouldn't want artists with no background in STEM - what I was saying is not reciprocal, I like to see art studied in addition to the other disciplines. I'm in Engineering and math.
