Good news, art students, your career as an artist is now on par with the hard science STEM fields. Heard of the STEM fields of study? Now the Rhode Island School of Design is trying to add Art (art+design) to the acronym. STEM is now STEAM http://stemtosteam.org/ I was in a meeting today and someone brought up volunteering at the elementary school to promote the STEAM fields. Having not heard of STEAM, I asked them to elaborate. "You know STEM? Well now it's STEAM." Art is now included. I guess I need more sensitivity training, but I scoffed at that notion. Is art and design important to engineering? Yes. But, I ask, are the high school students going to four years of college for art planning to work with an engineer or to become a famous artist and express themselves? The ones pursuing performance art, are they planning to use that as a presenter/salesperson or are they trying to go into theater/acting? So make sure you go to college and get that liberal arts degree. The STEAM fields need you!

Greetings all, Brief: A few weeks back, I was listening to a conservative radio show and the book "The Two Cultures" by Charles Percy Snow was mentioned in regards to the voting patterns. (I can't quite remember as it was weeks ago.) I know that this book is about how "artsy" and "sciency" have difficulty communicating with each other. The talk show stated something along the lines that this leads to voting patterns in America. Like a dichotomy. Anyway, I went to Amazon and purchased a copy of the book. Has anyone heard of it and/or read it? Forgive me as I wrote this on the fly and didn't put as much thought as I would have liked. http://www.amazon.com/The-Two-Cultures-Canto-Classics/dp/1107606144
