5 Prizegiving and awards PIP FOR THE ARTS Throughout the country engineering mathematical and scientific subjects are increasingly being pushed. The government never seems to stop encouraging our students to be choosing these subjects throwing more and more incentives at them every day. However our countrys leaders and inuencers have forgotten about the arts. about music about art about literature about media and about creativity and imagination. it seems that the current system paves a way for academic young students to easily perform well but it increases the gap for artistic students. art is one of the vital points of modern society. The majority of entertainment we use would not be possible without art. The games we play the books we read the films we watch the music we listen to all of these are created by artists. There is an increasingly worrying trend of young people forgetting about these things. whilst Mathematics and science may be important art should not be forgotten. Music has never been so popular. More and more people are engaging with music every day artists selling out stadium after stadium. Music is an art through the medium of sound. You express yourself by creating or listening to music quite often the music you listen to seems to sometimes separate you from other people spreading a message not only lyrically but musically. The chord progressions the cadences the harmonies all mean something all provide a texture an ambience an aesthetic which you can relate to or hold on to. Music provides lessons and meanings giving us valuable insight into other humans it feels extremely personal to the creators. However music cannot be mentioned without mentioning its artwork. This artwork usually goes hand in hand with the music especially on concept albums or albums created with the sole purpose of being art. Many musicians stay with the same artist for all of their albums. whereas music itself is only audible art provides visual stimulation. Colours matched with other colours discordant or harmonious provide us with a feeling or an image of what the artist is trying to purvey. art can be someones very essence brushed onto canvas. and yet something that both music and art take inspiration from is literature. Literature is a written work the magazine youre currently reading is a piece of literature. Literature goes back further than music and is in fact coupled with art the first words we find are cave drawings both artwork and literature in one. Literature gives an artist the chance to express themselves using language as their device. Literature has been used throughout history to subtly guide and teach our society whether that be through poetry word of mouth novellas or grand tomes. However art doesnt just have to be one of these three. Modern forms of art very much combine all of these films Tv shows videos online video games. all of these examples can be art if the author or audience chooses it to be so. each one teaches a message through their medium voluntarily or not. art teaches our society rules. art provides us morals and rules to abide by. it provides a way to leave a message to the rest of society that transcends time and that transcends our current problems. where maths and science are furthering our development into technological advancements art furthers our morals our fundamental understanding of human beings. art is defined in The Oxford dictionary as The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination. art is one of the greatest ways of turning our thoughts and feelings our very inner beings into something physical. This is an impassioned plea for you to not discount the arts as something to put on the side but to take them up and further them. Pip Turner DONTE FOR MATHS AND SCIENCE The exponential increase in the importance of subjects involving scientific and mathematical principles has become increasingly evident as our society becomes ever more dependent on advancing technology. with job prospects which require scientific and mathematical skills such as problem solving skills and analytical skills becoming more demanding the importance of these academic subjects is obvious. without these subjects there would be no Computer scientist to programme the software on new gadgets that we rely on so much. There would be no iPhone no internet no games no computers and much more things that we depend on wouldnt exist. without these subjects there would be no Chemists and Biologists to use experimental data to approach various problems. There would be no antiseptics no pain killers or medicine. although many things created through Mathematics and science are taken for granted it should be clear to you that these academic subjects were and will always be vital in the progression of our modern society. Furthermore subjects involving Mathematics and sciences lead to occupations that have a major inuence on our daily lifestyles. From the doctors who save lives on a daily basis the engineers that provide us with new processes that make a given job more efficient the actuaries that provide assessments to minimize the risk of financial deficits when various events occur the research analysts who extract and distill information to develop detailed reports on a subject matter based on statistics and other collected data to the Physicians who continue to delve into the unknown world of subatomic particles and the celestial bodies light years away from earth. The development of critical thinkers is vital in this day and age. This is why i believe subjects involving Maths and science are so important. These subject areas encourage students to delve into unknown territories and make sense of complex problems using the theorems and axioms. Upon delving into these unknown territories Mathematicians and scientists are able to push their understanding of their fields and develop further theorems that bring theoretical axioms into the real world. efforts and skills such as these which have been developed through Maths and science fortify the fact that Maths and science are very crucial subjects for academic students. with the many gaps and unexplained phenomena within these fields the need for both theoretical and practical thinkers provides infinite room for the way we think and the way we approach certain problems to be changed. The Maths and science community are just patiently waiting for another drastic progression of these fields catalysed by intuitive young minds from our generation. without Maths and science we wouldnt have been able to make the initial progressions that have been made for example understanding our own planet and its interaction with the sun the various forces which can be felt yet not seen and the once unreachable points in space. in addition the use of Mathematics has even stretched as far as communications. it has become a universal language that has created bonds between communities that are completely different to each other allowing cooperation between different cultures where spoken language fails. This has led to a whole interconnected network where new theories and ideas can be shared with other creative minds to accelerate the development of the fields of science and Mathematics. To conclude Mathematics and science are subjects that are made clear to students from a young age leading to the great development of creative problem-solving and analytical minds that help shape our future. For this reason i believe that Maths and science are vital in our modern society.
