1. “Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why
not” (Pablo Picasso). Explore this distinction with reference to two areas of knowledge.
Appears obvious. Use of Sense Perception and reason - Seen what is and asked why?
However, is sense perception enough? Stress on description -- How it might mislead
or only be partially correct
Assumption that people are divided into ‘others’ and ‘I’ (in this case Picasso. May
also represent a section of population).
Focus on ‘distinction’
Assumption that you can think only one way or the other. May not necessarily be the
case.
What could be and why not? - Imagination (Intuition?) and reason
AoKs - Arts; Nat Sci; History - most obvious
AOK - WOK Arts- SP, Arts- Intuition, emotion, In case of RKS and HS the
used NS- SP and Faith, belief, distinction may get blurred
Reason Natural Science-
Reason
Assumption The title presents that both description and explanation are distinct
Describe is used when the subject is an object which is factually similar to all situations and
circumstances.
Explain are for processes and providing reason.
