Areas of knowledge are most useful when they can be studied and analyzed independently. The areas should be combined for higher-level evaluation, but before that level, it is best to analyze information in the circumstances of a single area.
Extra note: Current art cannot be analyzed in the context of history, and thus art should not be analyzed in the context of history, but only in the context of direct influences on the art itself.
Secondary Claim: Art is closely related to history and should be analyzed in its historical context to understand the purpose and themes of the art.
Secondary Counterclaim: Knowledge is best understood when it is analyzed with parameters. Art should be studied through an artistic lens, such as technique, style, etc.
