Arts Integration
Arts Integration is a new philosophical movement which sees art, not as an isolated subject but instead, as an integral part of other subjects and practices. New scientific research has revealled arts amazing abilities to increase intelligence and health and this has lead to the amzing discovery that arts can be used to improve the efficiency of many unlikely industries such as health, education, rehabilitation, science and even business.
In modern thinking, it has been assumed that art and science, like creativity and logic are seperate and opposing catagories but more and more project are showing that integrating the two can be beneficial for both industries. Projects that have merged the two have shown amazing results and many are beggining to see that the science industry can benefit from the open minded thinking of arts practices and science practices can be used to improve the quality of art produced.
