I recently joined a robotics club with the intention of helping kids to learn how to build the website. It didn't take long for me to join the team and go to some competitions. Robotics clubs love to tout STEM, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. From the perspective of a Fine Artist I see things in a different way. To prove the point I made the above digital oil painting. It surprised me when it was done because I thought I was making a painting of kids building a robot. Instead, what the painting taught me was that the robot was also building the kids, which is much more poignant. Anyway, I am now touting STEAM - Science, Technology, Engineering. ART, and Mathematics, every chance I get. After all who wants to live in a cold world where art and design don't take the front center of everything we do. Sometimes the sheer beauty alone is enough to carry the whole project. Art gives us a chance to connect the pieces from ancient myth, all the way through current technology and science fiction. Bottom line, if your interested find a local robotics team and see what you can do to help them. If you can't find one, then please allow me to make you an honorary member of ours.
