Can learning how to draw,be the same as when you are learning a instrument,helping you with math skill?

Question

Because i heard that learning how to play a insturment can help you with reasoning skills and math skills.Could the same thing be applied to someone learning how to draw?

Yeah i forgot,probably the opposite side.

Answer 1

I think drawing is taken care of by the opposite side of your brain, although it could be helpful because you are warming your brain up.

Answer 2

Programming in any language does not require a great deal of skill in math. The only reason math is so heavily pushed into the computer science degree is to try to teach students logic. If you have logic skills, you can code with no math skills. Guess our education system hasn't learned that you can't teach logic, must be born that way.

Answer 3

As an artist and a musician, I would have to say no. In Music, generally the philosophy behind the logic that it increases mathematical skill is based on the mathematical processes required to become proficient in music. For an example of this, I have referred to the following quote I recently came across:

"Fractal music is a result of a recursive process where an algorithm is applied multiple times to process its previous output. In wider perspective all musical forms, both in micro and macro level can be modelled with this process. Fractals provide extremely interesting musical results."

Furthermore, in order to become successful in musician, it is required to memorize scales, which is similar to the process of memorizing mathematical equations in many ways.

Now, art, although it certainly possesses an understanding of basic geometry in terms of relationship of scale, as a whole does not bring with it the necessity of learning in the same way one would learn math. Just because you draw the right triangle, doesn't mean you understand it's function in a geometric sense. Both music and art are predominantly based on creativity in order become successful. However, the difference lies in the application of ideas. Both require the understanding in technique, but music differs in it's need to become aware of the structure of music and apply it in a very mathematical fashion.

Answer 4

In my oppinion, learning to play an instrument does help you in math. There's also more stuff to it.

Answer 5

for most abstract algebra and calculus, I don't think so. But (if you draw perspective) you will improve your feeling for spatial relationships which might be of use with geomety.

Answer 6

Playing the drums won't solve mathematical formulas but it should irate your neighbors.

Answer 7

I BELIEVE YOU ARE REFERRING TO THE SATISFACTION THAT EACH WILL BRING AS THEY ARE CONQUERED-TRULY U STICK TO YOUR GUNS AND BELIEVE YOU CAN AND WILL ALL WISH U WELL AND PUSH U UP, ART IS A WAY OF LIFE AND TO BE CONSUMED BY IT IS AWESOME, AND THE REWARDS OF MOST OF THE RENOWNED ARTISTS WAS A MELANCHOLY LIFE:THIS WAS GIVEN OF THE OLD MASTERS AS A SUM OF THERE ENDURANCE TO BE FAMOUS AFTER DEATH AND POVERTY STRICKEN IN LIFE

Answer 8

no it wont help because it uses the opposite sides of your brain

Answer 9

Each one is a discipline with the same outcome, focus...
