Is science an art? Is art also science?

Asked by Dan_Lyons (5527points) April 3rd, 2014

It’s been said that science is observation, hypotheses, theories and whatnot. But is it not an art to perform science well?

And is art not itself also a science. Say you are a sculptor chiseling marble. You take years of painstaking study and practice, observing and experimenting, until one day out pops a David or a Pieta.
