Roger Weir on the connection between the Arts and Sciences in the 19 century

The Relationship Between Art and Science

This section discusses the relationship between art and science, particularly in the context of education.

Education in Medieval Times

• Education was brought together in universities such as the University of Paris, University of Oxford, Bologna, and Ferrara.

• The Renaissance transformed education by integrating analytical critiquing lenses called colleges.

• Colleges form an ensemble of arts and sciences.

Importance of Critique in Art Forms

• Process forms of art require critique and analysis to refine presentation.

• Architecture is one such art form that requires critique for successful execution.

• Theater is another unforgiving art form where a misproduction can lead to failure.

Critique in Theater Production

• In theater production, blocking out character movements on stage is the first level of critique.

• Critique ensures that volumes and movements form necessary composition and juxtapositions to float the words/language/myth of the play.

• Consummate actors/actresses deliver language from a solid base of their ritual comportment being dramatic.
