The phenomenon of art comes from the human skill of creativity and innovation. It is an ancient technique that has existed for a long time. Art is more of a talent than a skill and typically, it applies visual forms such as the painting of sculptures and drawing of images based on real-life objects. The paper discusses the relationship between art and science for two great men named Leonardo Da Vinci and Galileo Galilei.
Art inspired Leonardo’s science because of his illustrations made of moving water which was an observation he had made over time. He depicted the flow in time and space and also the conceptualization of how liquids move (Broomhall et al., 2019). Leonardo’s illustration was in the form of a single diagram. From the art, Leonardo described the wakes’ tricky nature and the vertical up-welling of water in the paths.
The case of Galileo is similar to that of Leonardo in terms of influence as art-informed science. The reason is that Galileo was trained in art, and Edgerton argues that Galileo was a master of perfect drawings (as cited in Cooke, 1999). The influence of science on art is seen when Galileo responds to Cigoli’s letter. The response was scientifically justified because Galileo expressed that the eye’s abilities can only see objects.
Criminal justice is connected to science because, for instance, forensic science is useful in investigating and detecting criminals. The techniques used are scientifically relevant and satisfy the theory that the discipline is connected to science. From the readings, both Leonardo and Galilei got their art to inform science. For instance, Leonardo used his drawings to measure water flow and compared it with the human nature of air.
