Every so often I remember and get annoyed about how my liberal arts college was trying to push "math in the arts", but the professors from the departments didn't seem to want to talk each other? And, like, I was studying in both those departments. And I'd be like, "cool, my interests!" and go to the math department's special little lecture, and it'd be, like. A three hour presentation on linear perspective. And I feel like that happened multiple times? But my memory could be exaggerating, lol.

It's just irritating, cause the math people obviously couldn't be bothered to learn about the arts, but still wanted credit for crossing over into different subjects. Like, there's SO much math-inspired art!! There's often a lot of math that goes into making art! These subjects are not as discrete as they seem!!!

But also I'm probably just biased, cause I was raised by architects 😅 like, sorry, I thought we ALL grew up learning drafting basics... my bad...😬

#and no i don't have a specific idea for a better presentation #but if i devoted my career to the academic study of these topics then i bet i would!!#I'm actually not sure why i still have such strong feelings about this lol #i was studying computer science but it was the same department #also i MAY have had a crush on the president of the math club...👀#by elise #anyways please let me take a topology class one day...😢😢😢#also i haven't done the research but I'm pretty sure art programs everywhere (or at least in the us)#have been declining greatly for the last few decades #like we're getting only a fraction of what used to be taught #which doesn't really make sense cause it's not like it's not still a lot of work??#idk man
