Why is Science Important?
PeacefulI have a big love for science
Before going to do foundation art, I toyed heavily with the idea of doing physics at University, and got a place in several Universities on deferred entry in case higher art education took me nowhere. Luckily, after really not enjoying the first half of my foundation course I discovered illustration in the second half and went on to do what I do, which leaves me with my spare time in which be a total science geek and indulge in it as a hobby 
Creativity and science are something that a lot of people see as incompatible, as if science is somehow the opposite of creativity, or as if being scientific means that you can't be creative by definition. It's true that there does seem to be a bit of a disconnect, at least in the minds of many people who think of themselves as creative, and I encounter a general disregard for science frequently enough to notice.
Thankfully, I also frequently encounter science fandom from artists too, which is encouraging since I think the two are actually closely connected
I want to write more about this at some point, but for now I just wanted to try and do my bit for science outreach by linking this video from my journal:Why is science important?
If you find yourself turned off by science, or mystified by it, or annoyed by how high-and-mighty it all seems (or just never think of it at all), please check out the video
It's a really lovely and balanced presentation with lots of different voices (and a really cute presenter).-----------MY ARTWORK-------------

If you want to live an interesting life, you're going to spend half of it being terrified.

a lot of science requires math
and a lot of artists hate math
its a big paradox
with your art skill, perhaps you dont need a backup degree in physics.
i dont know.

I do think, from experience of being around many artists for a long time, that by nature, we are extremely inquisitive and open minded people.
I find myself often having round table discussions with my Graphics class about everything from the big bang to Darwins Theory of Evolution, needless to say its often me who has the more out there view on things, but thats just my nature I cant just accept a paradigm without questioning it.
Tis Great fun

Also relativity and quantum theories are nothing if not creative. The supposedly 'cold science' gives way to deep, imaginative and philosophical thinking with them, and it only got more and more out there since then...
So, science rocks!
