“Study the science of art and the art of science.” - Leonardo Da Vinci
Leonardo Da Vinci: "Study the science of art. Study the art of science. Develop your senses and especially, learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else" and "only through experimentation can we know anything."
Science is the king of art subjects. It is the art of inventions, discoveries, innovations and gaining more knowledge.
"Science is the new art".
Science-art: selling art to scientists and science to artists.
Education is all about learning all those you want to learn and applying wherever possible.
Albert Einstein’s quote — “the greatest scientists are artists as well”.
Science has always relied on visual representation to convey key concepts.
‘If you can’t explain something simply, you don’t understand it.’ - Albert Einstein
Math is undeniably artistic
An interdisciplinary researcher must face the challenge of being proficient in two (or multiple) different research areas! Not only must s/he be familiar with key principles and methodology in each area, but also understand baseless "biases" and "dogmas" that are a result of inbreeding, and struggle to fight these, as new knowledge emerges from her/his research. An unenviable task indeed! The pointlessness of evaluating such researchers work with conventional metrics should be aptly emphasized.
“The best scientists, engineers and mathematicians are incredibly creative in their approaches to problem-solving and application development”.
"Science, like art, is not a copy of nature but a re-creation of her." – Jacob Bronowski
In scientia veritas, in arte honestas — in science truth, in art honor
E.W. Sinnot, the American biologist and philosopher: "Stored images in the mind are the basis for new creative ideas."
Science based art and literature : communicating complexity through simplicity - Krishna
All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man's life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards freedom.
--Physicist and Violinist Albert Einstein
Music gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything by Anonymous
Every science begins as philosophy and ends as art - Will Durant
Life itself is a beautiful interaction between art and science. You can't escape it! - Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa
"The Science of Art is like putting a microphone to the whispers of creativity that echo through the halls of every research laboratory fused with the late night musings of the artists in their studios" - Sachi DeCou
“Every Science begins as Philosophy and ends as Art, it arises in hypothesis and flows into achievement”- Will Durant, The Story of Philosophy
Scientists can be artists as well, while they submit their academic papers, and theses they often draw their own illustrations!
Is suffering really necessary? Yes and no. If you had not suffered as you have, there would be no depth to you, no humility, no compassion.
-Eckhart Tolle
Science has enabled the kind of art we’ve never before seen.
Without the arts, science is hobbled. Without science, art is static.
John Maeda wrote of Leonardo da Vinci’s observations that art is the queen of science.
“Science is as much cultural as art is cultural,”
Art is science made clear (what!).
"The aim of art is not to represent the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance." - Aristotle.
Science is a search for answers, based on logic, rationality and verification. Its workplace is the laboratory.
In contrast, art is a search for questions, based on intuition, feeling and speculation. Its workplace is the studio.
DaVinci himself said, "Art is the queen of all sciences communicating knowledge to all the generations of the world. "
"Art is the heart's explosion on the world. Music. Dance. Poetry. Art on canvas, on walls, on our skins. There is probably no more powerful force for change in this uncertain and crisis-ridden world than young people and their art. It is the consciousness of the world breaking away from the strangle grip of an archaic social order." - Luis J. Rodriguez.
For Dawkins, understanding the science behind natural phenomena (and sometimes being reminded of how much more we have yet to learn or discover) can still make our encounters with them sublime. From this point of view, science is the champion of artistic creativity, not its enemy.
"Scientists and artists are both trying to get a better understanding of the world around us, but they are doing it through different lenses,"
It takes many skills to achieve truly remarkable things. A diverse view to solving problems is best.
You need a deep understanding of science to actually manipulate concepts in novel ways and get creative in science - Krishna
"If you hear a voice within you saying, 'You are not a painter,' then by all means paint ... and that voice will be silenced, but only by working."
-- Vincent van Gogh, in a letter to his brother Theo, 28 October 1883.
"The line between art and science is a thin one, and it waves back and forth”
"One of the most common misconceptions about science is that it isn't creative — that it is inflexible, prescribed or boring. Actually, creativity is a crucial part of how we do science"!
"All knowledge has its origins in perception." Da Vinci.
“The scientist does not study nature because it is useful to do so. He studies it because he takes pleasure in it; and he takes pleasure in it because it is beautiful." Jules Henri Poincare
The beauty of art lies in the inimitable creativity of the artist and in the interpretation of the beholder.
"Artists see things one way and scientists another and the really interesting thing is in what's in between."
Einstein’s support of artistic endeavors is both well-known and well-documented.
“The greatest scientists are artists as well,” he once said.
Atul Dodiya (Indian Artist) : Life is beautiful as a painter. Changing colour, observing life and paying attention to every detail that we’re exposed to, and then giving our own vision to it… Nothing gives me more joy.
Art : You accomplish a task that is called art as there is no specific postulates or guidelines.
Science : You do the work with a set of guidelines.
"Change and risk-taking are normal aspects of the creative process. They are the lubricants that keep the wheels in motion. A creative act is not necessarily something that has never been done; it is something you have never done."
-- Nita Leland in The Creative Artis
Pablo Picasso once said, "Good artists copy, great artists steal." All creative artists build upon the work established by the masters before them. ( Not me!- Krishna)
Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep – Scott Adams
‘Art makes science come alive for students’
Albert Einstein - “The greatest scientists are artists as well”.
“ Science art shows some of the incredible natural beauty that researchers in life sciences see every day in their work.”

To bring chemistry and art together, an exhibition is being conducted:
Harvard Art Museums put pigments on display
The collection comprises nearly 2,000 pigments, along with more than 1,000 items of related materials. Those items include brushes, palettes, waxes, gums, resins, varnishes, John Singer Sargent’s paintbox, and at least one bottle of Elmer’s Glue-All. Artists use the stuff, too. The rest of the museum may be about art, but the Straus Center and its collection are about art-making (and repair). “It’s not just a display of things that never get used,” says senior conservation scientist Narayan Khandekar.The names of the pigments can be as beautiful as the colors: ultramarine pink, pompeiian blue, genuine cobalt violet. Modern pigments have less poetic-sounding names: PR-251, PR-254 (“PR” for “pigment red”). “But they’re very important,” Khandekar says. “They’re all used in paints today.” Modern pigments, while also on display, are kept separate from their vintage counterparts.
The historical pigments are so varied — in age, origin, container — that a single coherent display scheme wasn’t immediately obvious. Then Khandekar hit upon the most basic of organizing principles: the color wheel. Yellow pigments are in the center, with green, blue, and purple to one side and orange, red, and purple again on the other.

The Brevard Museum of History and Natural Science will showcase images from the Hubble Space Telescope, a large-scale model of the Hubble and much more in the upcoming exhibition “Eye on the Universe: The Hubble Space Telescope.”
Also on view will be the Jackson Walker painting “They Called It La Florida,” which is on loan from the Florida House in Washington, D.C. The painting depicts the 1513 Florida landing by Ponce de Leon. FHS executive director Ben Brotemarkle said exhibiting the painting and the Hubble images are like “bookends of Western exploration.”
The exhibition is the first since the museum became a part of the Florida Historical Society. As such, there is an electric excitement in the air over the debut, Brotemarkle said.

Eureka moments all round at Art Neuro as the artists step into the laboratory
Artworks go on show in London after artists and neuroscientists collaborate in an attempt to stir the public imaginationAcross London, 15 other pairs of artists from a range of disciplines and neuroscientists, mainly from Queen Mary University of London, in the East End, and University College London, have been collaborating with the aim of bringing the remarkable, often hidden and unsung, work of scientists out of the lab and into the public imagination.
The 16 original artworks of Art Neuro go on display for the first time from 6-9 November at the Rag Factory, off Brick Lane, east London.
The fascinating exhibition includes interactive optical illusions; a modern take on Hogarth’s Gin Lane exploring addiction; ceramics that magnify the molecules responsible for Alzheimer’s disease; a flashing installation that represents the human brain; and an interpretation by an erotic photographer of the way babies’ brains change in the first few weeks of life.
The principle brain behind Art Neuro is Supatra Marsh, 27, a skin biologist and PhD student at the Blizzard Institute, which is part of Queen Mary.

Sci-art monument would re-create images of life forms made extinct over 500 years
Today (3rd Nov., 2014) afternoon a tall, elderly gentleman will deliver a short eulogy to past life on Earth while standing on the Jurassic coast of southern England, and in the process begin an ambitious project to remember the 860 species known to have become extinct over the previous five centuries.
Professor Edward Osborne Wilson, the Harvard entomologist and Pulitzer prize-winning author who has been called the "natural heir to Darwin", has come to Britain to break ground on a construction project to rival in scale the great medieval cathedrals of England.
Instead of honouring God, however, the new stone edifice will pay tribute to all known species that have disappeared during the sixth great mass extinction that the planet has experienced in the 4.5bn-year history of life on Earth – and the only mass extinction caused by another species: man.
Like St Paul's Cathedral, the Mass Extinction Monitoring Observatory (Memo) will be built from the fossil-rich Portland limestone of the Jurassic Coast. Sculptors from around the world will be commissioned to create a gallery of carvings that will set in stone the portraits of each lost species, from the passenger pigeon to the Tasmanian tiger. It will form a visual memorandum of what has been lost since the last dodo was bludgeoned to death by European sailors in the 17th century.

Fusing the best of art and science, London’s Kinetica Art Fair was a chance for visitors to discover a wide range of works by artists practicing this unusual form of art based on movement.
Kinetic art will move you like any other art form, say critics
Kinetic art has been around since the early 20th century, but technological progress now allows artists to create astonishing, interdisciplinary installations, which just never stop moving.

The Art of Planetary Science is an annual event to celebrate the intersection of art and science in Tucson.
On October 17-19, 2014, the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory on the University of Arizona campus hosted the second annual Art of Planetary Science exhibition. Through our work, scientists seek to understand the nature of our Universe and the laws that govern its evolution. We strive to describe natural processes in the most precise language possible – that of mathematics. However, creating scientific knowledge also requires thought, creativity, attention to detail, and imagination. It is not unlike creating art, though the methods may vary. By organizing this exhibit – the graduate students of LPL invited the public to take a new look at this work through an artist’s eyes.
