My
name is Paige Grantham I am a Gender Studies major and an Education minor. My first two years at UCLA I was a Nursing
major so I have been both a North Campus and a South Campus major and even here
at UCLA there is a huge separation between the arts and sciences. People say north campus majors are always
dressed nicely and are so friendly where as the south campus majors are always
in sweatpants and are always so serious.
It feels like there is no in between on our Campus. “Snow identified the two cultures as those of
literary intellectuals and natural scientists and he pointed to the curricula
of schools and universities as the source of the problem” (Vesna, pg.121) My example above shows a very example of how
universities are the problem and separating the arts and the sciences.

One
experience I have had at UCLA was I wanted to become a Visual and Performing
Art Education minor (VAPAE) but I was told I was not allowed to because I was
not an Art major. I do not think that is
right because I was not allowed to experiment with my artistic abilities due to
this rule.

I came across this video this week
when I was reading more about the separation of art and sciences and I found it
very interesting. The video is about
teaching art and science together.
