I agree that the fine arts are sciences. Music theory is highly technical, following set guidelines and formulas. The visual arts also follow established formulas, as we discovered last week. Then there's architecture; the fusion of geometry and sculpture. Da Vinci was really the man who recognized and expanded the relationship between art and science, and brought the two together--after all, he was an artist and a scientist.
