...cliches imply that everyone should know more about science, but what would that "more" be? Two answers are possible: either more about science as an enterprise and a method of thinking or more about a specific science as a body of knowledge. The first answer doesn't lead logically to a doubled science requirement; surely a student can learn the "scientific method" from a decent one-year Nat Sci course.

In woodcuts, gouging against the grain brought out severe voids and sharp forms whose angularity and deep biting technique excited the expressionists. Edvard Munch was one of the first to carve the agony of his tormented visions from wood. Lithography, a fluid method of drawing on stone to yield bright, matte contours of color, appealed to painters who wished to abandon depth for the challenges of surface arrangements. Kandinsky employed...
