Will you please do a HUGE favor for me? This is one of the essays I need to answer for my U of M application that is due Tuesday. I am a complete idiot. I am stuck in a writer's block and only have 450 of the 700 words needed to answer the question. Can you read the response that I have so far and tell me what else I can add or even take out to this to expand it and make it better? I will do ANYTHING in return that's humanely possible. I will love you forever.

(C) Some writers suggest that by tradition science is concerned with truth while art is concerned with beauty. How might these two endeavors be the same? How might they be irreconcilably different?

The truth of science represents one’s ability to prove or disapprove theories. Beauty in art represents an aesthetically pleasing visual expression that is viewed by an audience. Although science and art both have basic principles, the laws of science are stricter than the elements of art. The truth of science deals with factual knowledge that is gained through experimentation. While typical aesthetically pleasing artwork follows most of the elements of art, the beauty of art involves individual opinions of the viewers that cannot be proven as correct or erroneous. Truth is a defined certainty and beauty has no true definition. However, the truth of science and beauty in art can have many parallel qualities. Science is the study of reality and the universe in order for man to understand it. An artist’s work is influenced by his experiences and the universe around him; thus, he is influenced by science. The truth of science and beauty in art are similar in that realistic artwork contains many principals of science. Anatomy of the human body and proportions are used to correctly depict the human figure in artwork. Leonardo da Vinci was a prime example of an artist representing beauty and of a scientist revealing truth and fact. Da Vinci’s scientific work incorporated drawings and notes recorded from observing animals, plants, and humans, meticulous inventions including the parachute and the Ornithopter flying machine (modern day helicopter), and even animal dissections that helped him accurately depict life forms in his artwork. Leonardo da Vinci was one of the first scientists during the Italian Renaissance to believe that worldly knowledge must be supported with scientific evidence from experiments. Along with this, da Vinci’s paintings are considered to be among the most beautiful in the world. This could possibly result from the realistic content that the paintings encompass due to da Vinci’s scientific experimentation with nature. It is common to find human attraction toward realistic artwork; possibly because of the sense of nostalgia and comfort one receives from artwork reflecting that of their surroundings. Leonardo da Vinci was living proof that scientific truth and artistic beauty can share many analogous qualities.
