“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.”

Eco-Displacement and science-art show:
The exhibition, "Eco-Displacement: Ghosts of the Gulf," open through Jan. 25 at the Acadiana Center for the Arts. It's one of several of the exhibits about the Deepwater Horizon oil spill that exploded in 2010, killing 11 workers and spewing oil for 87 days by Brandon Ballengee.

Ever seen a cow in high-tops? Or watched a flock of decoy geese flapping overhead with open suitcase wings? Bring your imagination as found objects come to life in large-scale, moving sculptures thanks to the creativity of New York-based artist and tag sale aficionado Steve Gerberich.

The exhibit is featured at the Discovery Museum and Planetarium through March 1. Combining simple machines and visual humor with re-purposed items from a bygone era, the exhibit has been dubbed “a seriously unusual art meets science experience for all ages.”

Gerberich said his artwork relies on all the scientific things we learn in grade school, but use every day. From the animal factory of “The Painting Machine” – where plastic giraffes get their spots, toy zebras are whitewashed and striped and alligators are fitted with eyes – to a 100-year-old line shaft connecting machines in “The Bowling Pin Factory,” the kinetic pieces move using basic motors, pulleys and levers.

Guests are encouraged to push a button or spin a crank and watch the fantastical sculptures come alive. An interactive “Make a Face” display challenges museum visitors to explore their own creativity.

Incredible Bacteria-Laced Fabric Combines Art, Biology And Fashion
Can biological systems co-author with design and craft to generate new technologies that offer a sustainable material paradigm?" This was the challenge Chieza set out to solve as she combined art, science and style in a radical new way. She began by folding each scarf in an origami-like pattern until it fits inside a petri dish, then introducing a non-pathogenic bacteria called Streptomyces to produce the pigment.

"The results are an array of stunning mirrored prints that morph and shift as pigment secreted by bacteria diffuses through layers of inoculated silk habotai," reads a statement from project's website. "Long after the peak of microbial activity is reached, a fine silk palimpsest serves as a record of what it was to live, then die, in seven days."

The scarves are just the beginning. Chieza hopes to eventually create a whole collection of garments, each documenting the life cycle of a different bacterial colony. The innovative idea will hopefully bring us one step closer to a future bio-revolution, in which design and science work hand-in-hand to yield environmentally friendly (and oh-so beautiful) results. Basically, bacteria is all the rage this season.

Scientists recreate Mona Lisa in different painting styles
It's one of the most famous masterpieces in art history --
Leonardo DaVinci's Mona Lisa.
But what if DaVinci was actually born after the Renaissance period -- how then, would Mona Lisa have looked?
Well, now with the help of science, we have an idea.
The iconic painting, if created in the Rococo or Late Baroque period of the 18th century,.. would have been brighter, used more delicate colors with rougher brushstrokes.
So how was this conclusion made?
Using digital analysis of nearly 9-thousand western paintings spanning over 800 years, local scientists have been able to identify different colors and techniques used in different time periods, from the 11th century to the mid-19th century.
Professor [ ] Jeong Ha-woong and his colleagues from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology analyzed the "big data" not only to bridge art and science but also for practical use.

"With the collection of all this data, it can help differentiate real works of art from the forged ones, and also help restore masterpieces to be more like the original."

The study printed in the scientific journal Nature shows that paintings have evolved to become more colorful and complex in terms of contrast and brightness since the Medieval period or after oil paints were introduced.

Psychedelic patterns and colour-streaked proteins will be showcased at the CS Gallery to celebrate the beauty of science.

The Art of Science exhibition honours the importance of medical research and explores the beauty in scientific investigations.

The exhibition is made up of a series of images from medical scans of cancer cells, immune disorders and infectious diseases and displays the colourful, distinctive and microscopic view researchers have of the biomedical world.
