Hello....I was wondering if anyone chose to do question 3 for the required essay...Author Robert Pirsig suggests that science has traditionally concerned itself with truth, while art has concerned itself with beauty. How might these two endeavors be the same, how might they be different?..If you did would it be possible for you to post your essay?...this is a very interesting question and I just wanted to see the asnwers people gave....

My son wrote the most amazing answer to question #3.

Why not post your essay? I would love to read it to get your perspective on the topic.

Ta ta for now, Cruella

What reasons did your son give..why are they different/same? I wrote that they both relate in the fact that one seeks to make life more simple while the other seeks to make us see and enjoy simplicity..one can be questioned the other cannot...it was nice...I worded it very well....and I went into details...and I used an actual painting to prove one of my reasons...

He used Michelangelo's painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel as his example
for beauty.

What did you use?

Ta ta, Cruella

I used a local artist's painting that was displaying in a museum...it really captured/supported what I wrote about art...and science...what reasons did your son give?...as to their differences and relation...
