The lecture is meant to draw attention on the importance of art in education, with an emphasis on scientifically oriented curriculum/ education. Creativity is key in science discovery and advancement, and the realm of art is responsible for, and credited with its development. Art has long been neglected and kept aside, judged unnecessary in the scientific world, yet the artistic implication has historically had a primordial role in science (and humanity for that matter). The great scientists are the ones who, due to their creativity, manage to unlock and expose the invisible to the world.
