People's thinking in images is good, but it doesn't mean that abstract thinking is necessarily poor. If we think that thinking in images is good and abstract thinking is definitely poor, it is an obvious logical error. In fact, painting can promote people's thinking ability. You should consider composition, perspective, color distribution and brushwork style. After long-term training, people's overall thinking ability will be improved. However, people's thinking is not segmented, and often, there is no situation in which image thinking inhibits abstract thinking.
People who paint are poor at math, and those abstract formulas can't be understood. Maybe if you draw too much, people's way of thinking will change, and they have strong thinking ability in images, but mathematics needs abstract thinking, so if you draw too much, you will not adapt to the way of thinking in mathematics.
The reason why people who paint are not good at math is only because people who paint well at math are not publicity.
Painting has nothing to do with math scores, but there is no connection between them. Whether you learn to draw or not will have no effect on your math scores. Mathematics belongs to our compulsory subjects from primary school to high school, and art has always been a hobby and elective course. Secondly, mathematics exercises our logical thinking ability, while art is creative thinking, innovative thinking and imagination, so their development directions are different, so they do not affect each other.
