In my experience, two perspectives overlap: the colorful imaginative play and the analytical scientific observation. It's how I often think. From the outside, it may seem that these two things work and function in separate silos. Psychology in pop culture describes black and white distinctions between the left brain (logic) and the right brain (creativity). However, that is not entirely true. For one thing, research actually finds both hemispheres of the brain to have and share all sort of functions. Granted, one side may be more active for certain tasks, but otherwise they are both working and constantly communicating with each other via the corpus callosum.
This can be applied to arts and sciences. Both subjects are very similar in which they ask about the same questions: Who are we? Where do we come from? What is our place in this world and the universe? etc. On top of that, many different subjects often bleed into each other. Everything is interconnected.
