Some people believe there is a very deep relationship between them, while others insist the link seems pointless. They have argued this issue for so many years.

Norwegian painter and public art creator, Vebjørn Sand, saw the drawing and a model of the bridge in an exhibition on da Vinci's architectural & engineering designs in 1996.

Artist and patron must work out a compromise as to what is acceptable and also respects the aims of the artist. The patron in this case generally has the last word, as demonstrated by Richard Serra’s “Tilted Arc” controversy in the mid-80s where the artist’s piece was actually removed from its site because of public objection.

In today’s public education system fine arts and physical education classes are considered to be inferior to the core classes. Because math and English classes are considered more important, not enough money is put aside to fund the arts and PE, or the elective classes.
