Art's interactions with science can be profound
An aptitude in science can be enhanced by participation in arts and crafts, write Robert and Michele Root-Bernstein. As an example, Albert Einstein played violin and piano, and attributed some of his gifts for science to "musical thinking," they write. "Arts and crafts develop such skills as observation, visual thinking, the ability to recognize and form patterns, and manipulative ability. They develop habits of thought and action that include practicing, persevering, and trial-and-error problem solving," they write. Educational Leadership

The drive to alter STEM to STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Math) has been advocated in many states, but unfortunately does not seem to have taken hold here in Long Island.  STEAM encourages creative problem solving and allows students an opportunity to explore outside the parameters of absolutes.  Our future needs this creativity to be a part of their process or we will be growing students lacking the creative inventiveness needed for innovative thinking.
