Quote by Arthur Erickson

Inspiration in Science may have to do with ideas, but not in Art. In art it is in the senses that are instinctively responsive to the medium of expression.

Inspiration in Science may have to do with ideas, but not in

Summary

This quote suggests that inspiration in science comes from intellectual ideas, while in art it arises from the senses and the innate ability to connect with the chosen medium of expression. In science, the source of inspiration lies in the realm of thoughts and concepts, whereas art draws its inspiration from a deeper, more instinctive response to the materials, colors, textures, and overall sensory experience. Unlike in science, where ideas are primary, art relies heavily on the raw, sensory perception and expression of the artist to convey meaning and evoke emotions in the viewer.
