Thank you to Jason from Love To Lead for the question. Art is considered by most of us to be the ultimate expression of creativity while Science is considered the realm of logical thinkers delving into the mystery's of the universe. I would argue that scientific exploration is an art form.
A scientist exploring new ground must use creative thinking to to postulate a new theory and then quite often create new tools to explore and communicate their theory no different than what an artist does. When an astronomer gazes at the explosion of stars in the night sky do they feel any different than a photographer or painter looking at the same sky. I think they all feel the same awe.
If art appeals to our feelings; is there a difference?
I think not and so I would answer no to this question. Creativity is creativity no matter what form it takes.

"Art without engineering is dreaming; engineering without art is calculating." --SKR
Peter-Not sure who SKR is, but this sure sounds good.
When I was in art school, I had two professors that were let go. One became a baker, and the other opened an ice cream shop.
They both said that this was now their art. Whatever you do, make it your art.

Peter, As usual you have nailed it again. Of course they don't feel any different. Art is a Science...
