Science and art are traditionally represented as two disciplines with completely divergent goals,
\nmethods, and public. It has been claimed that, if rightly addressed, science and art education could
\nmutually support each other. In this paper I propose the recurrent reference to certain famous
\npaintings during the ordinary progress of physics courses in secondary schools, in order to convey,
\nin a memorable way, some basic features of physics methodology. For an understanding of the overall
\ncharacteristics of science should be regarded as one of the crucial goals of physics education. As a
\npart of a general education, the forgetting of physics concepts may be acceptable, but failing to
\ngrasp the very nature of science is not. Images may help in conveying the nature of science,
\nespecially for humanities-oriented students. Moreover, famous paintings, with their familiarity and
\navailability, are a valid tool in facilitating this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
