Expression is also purpose!ThomasHobbes wrote: ↑May 19th, 2018, 6:03 pmWhat do you mean "this".
Art does not need a purpose or goal. It does not necessarily discover. Art is about expression.

You can express something symbolically, but can you discover it symbolically? And most scientific facts are not directly noted, but via a lot of manipulation of data.
Otherwise I agree.

The arts convey features of our minds to the outside world.
The sciences convey the features of the outside world to our minds.

Unfortunately, it's not that simple. The only relationship the mind has with whatever it may be that creates the sensory impulses is those impulses themselves. They have patterns that are formed by the relationships of the sensory apparatus with outside energies of various types. Those impulses carry the information of what is going on in the sensory apparatus which is a quite special effect of those energies. So what the mind knows is the status of the sensory apparatus and can only guess at what might have cause those reactions. It is most likely something related to the external energies but a different sensory apparatus would have a different category of reactions. Science, like art, invents pattern relationships to explain those energy states of its sensory apparatus so science is equally inventive as art and those relationships that are accepted change as more is learned and understood. The inventiveness of art can range into much more unlikely areas as those patterns can be accepted as fantasies whereas scientific inventions must cohere to the bulk of patterns already found acceptable.

Yes.
Art is an expression, science is learning.
You create art, but you don't create science.
You can learn science, but you can't learn to be an artist.
With art you speak with and to emotions and feelings and moods; science can only be communicated with the intellect.

-You mean that art does not rely on prior experiences?
You create art, but you don't create science.
(create) Did you mean that art emerges from nothingness without the accumulation of knowledge?
You can learn science, but you can't learn to be an artist.
Did you mean that art colleges are useless? Or do you mean the creative artist specifically?
With art you speak with and to emotions and feelings and moods; science can only be communicated with the intellect.
- Did you mean that the expression of emotions and moods across art does not need intelligence?
