I've been dipping in and out of this discussion and it fascinates me because it reflects an attempt to bring our ruminations on the Art-Science connection from the abstract to the concrete, specifically with respect to education. In that regard I would like to offer the following based on my experiences.
There has been considerable talk about whether or not the Art-Science connection could, or has, yielded a new discipline, much in the way new disciplines have emerged in the past from the intersection of other, more established areas of inquiry. I've been involved in two such areas that have been "around" for quite some time.
The first is computer animation and, more specifically, character animation. When I teach character animation to computer science students, I cover not only the mechanical, mathematical aspects of animation, I also address the biology of humans, their skeletal structure, how muscles control motion, etc. I also present students with a discussion of physics and locomotion, and how the two are related. Yet, in addition to these scientific underpinnings of animation, I also address the aesthetic aspects of motion and animation, such as color, lighting, composition, etc.
A second area that has emerged as of late is that of Digital Media, which at my university is a combination of Art, Communications, and Computer Science. This new major has a series of four courses that act as the backbone for the degree. These four courses comprise topics that arise at the intersection of Art, Communications and Computer Science, and as such demonstrate how each of these "feeder" disciplines feeds off each other in the creation of a new discipline.
I'd love to hear other, concrete examples from my fellow Yasminers!
