Both Yo-Yo-Ma and John Lehrer argue about how art should be apart of our day to day lives in school. In “Necessary Edges: Arts, Empathy, and Education” Yo-Yo-Ma argues that instead of STEM, science, technology, engineering, and math that it should be STEAM, science, technology, engineering, arts,  and math. he discusses that “the values behind arts integration- collaboration, flexible thinking, and disciplined imagination- lead to the capacity to innovate”, he believes that art should be apart of STEM because it allows people to open there minds and constantly form new ideas.   John Lehrer in “the Future of science is… Art?” argues that art is needed in science to better understand how and why different scientific things happen, specifically neuroscience and physics. he says that ” by taking these artistic explorations seriously, neuroscientists can better understand the holistic properties they are trying to parse. before you break something apart, it helps to know  how it hangs together.”, this is Lehrer explaining how art can help near scientists piece together the images and people they are trying to help. art as a whole can help people learn and explore. Both Ma and Lehrer discuss how art is needed in society to better understand how things work and are interconnected. in the end they differ in reasons but come to the same conclusion that art is needed to help scientist and students explore and learn.
