The art of science and the science of art | Ikumi Kayama | TEDxFoggyBottom

I’m a visual learner, and the most things I’ve remembered from my school books is the educational illustrations. I still remember the illustrations today, but have forgotten the huge paragraphs of texts.

I can relate to this ... Yes, indeed, most people will say "oh you draw that?". Today, in the age of computers, people still say the same or say 'oh I can do that on the pc'. Not really you see because if you draw with your hand, the line is natural, and the end-result reflects years of devotion, being curious, knowledge and practice. On the computer, it's basically "math". Certainly not the same. I've used drawings in teaching and students find it easier to learn and remember the subject. That's the power of drawing. :)

wow, very insightful.... the scientific research world is slowly starting to take notice of this...

Great fusion between Science and Art

[@TFMarciniak]

Everything and everyone is of the utmost significance, thank you.

[@scooternak53]

Fascinating talk! Thank you for sharing. I'm sure you have inspired many young children to dream of becoming scientific artists!

That's cool Ikumi-san. My father was a photojournalist until his death in 1970, and my father-in-law was a medical photographer for forty years in New York, he's retired now and lives in New Jersey with his wife of over fifty years. I think you have a really long career ahead of you. You are really talented. It's cool to see you speak about your career and your passion on TEDx.

I love art and science too, I think this may be the right path for me Is there any way I can begin to start this career?

[@jasonloghry]

Thank you for doing this TEDx Talk. It's really inspirational! A few of the students at our school (in Korea) are interested in both science and drawing, and this talk motivates them to follow their passion. Thank you!
