“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.”

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on July 6, 2014 at 6:14am: Science in Pictures: Science is Beautiful!

As illustrating research on risks is particularly challenging, the AXA Research Fund asked its supported researchers to showcase their work in a creative way. The AXA Research Fund has awarded the grantees providing the most original photo, portraying them in a way that clearly evokes their research topic.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on July 6, 2014 at 5:50am: When art and science combine the results can be pretty hair-raising. An artist whose work is based on chemical reactions.
Anna uses an LED lighting system, inspired by natural sunlight, which she installs behind latex artwork. This enables each painting to be controlled using a remote control to keep the artwork ever-changing.
The latex Anna uses is extracted straight from the tree in Malaysia and she buys it by the litre.
She visited Malaysia and spent a month finding out where the material comes from and how it’s extracted.

“When it is first extracted, it looks like a really thick milk. It is only when it’s exposed to the atmosphere that it becomes a plastic.”

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on July 5, 2014 at 6:24am: Austin artists pay tribute to inventor Nikola Tesla at daylong event
The Serbian-American inventor and futurist Nikola Tesla developed the alternating-current electrical system of transformers, motors and generators that is now the standard power system of the 20th century.

He also designed the first hydroelectric power plant at Niagara Falls, pioneered radar technology and X-ray technology (his “Tesla coil” is still used in radio technology today) and began work on one of the first global communication systems. He also planned to transmit power wirelessly and therefore for free.
Though he was forgotten for years, Tesla now enjoys something of an academic and cult flowing. And perhaps not surprisingly, artists rank among his fans.

And it’s artists and art galleries who are once again hosting “The Tesla Project,” a family-friendly fest of science- and art-making activities, live music and an exhibit of Tesla-inspired art on Saturday at the Canopy art complex.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on July 3, 2014 at 9:15am: Throughout history, artists and art movements use color in unique ways. The differing use of color is obvious from the subtleties of lighter hues in the Impressionism of Monet, the bold color blocks of Piet Mondrian, to the bright Pop Art of Keith Haring.

As optical science continues to expand our understanding of how we perceive and can use color, the potential for artists to employ color as a tool for expression is boundless. In “The Art & Science of Color,” presented by the Susquehanna Art Museum, each of the 22 selected artists considered the subtle possibilities of color at the heart of a work of art, and the long-lasting sensory impressions left on the viewer.

“The Art & Science of Color” is a juried DOSHI Gallery exhibition on view at Whitaker Center until Aug. 22. During the museum’s transitional period until it relocate into its new permanent location in Midtown, Harrisburg, the museum continues to collaborate with area organizations for exhibitions and educational programming space. The “Art & Science of Color” is a perfect fit to complement the scientific focus of the Whitaker Center.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on July 3, 2014 at 5:59am: Origami show reveals folded paper as fashion, fine art, cutting-edge science
An origami exhibit at Cooper Union college that features the work of 88 artists from around the world reveals the outer limits of paper folding and its breathtaking range of possibilities.

Timed to mark the 55th anniversary of a pioneering origami exhibit in the United States, also shown at Cooper Union, "Surface to Structure" illustrates just how far the art form has come.

Showstoppers include undulating, robotic origami triggered by wall-mounted motion sensors; large, modular, pleated panels and sculptures; clothing; folded sculptures in stainless steel and cast-bronze; and even two polymer-gel micro-origami figures, less than a millimeter in size and displayed using a photographic technique that allows a 3-D shape to be reconstructed from a series of 2-D fluorescent images.
A technique called wet-folding: wiping the paper with a wet sponge or cloth before folding. The moisture loosens the paper fibers, allowing for smooth curves instead of the more traditional sharp creases. The curves are a lot softer and the creases actually stronger with wet-folding.
Wet-folding allows for the voluptuous curves of a lion's shaggy mane or the billows surrounding a unicorn that appears to be standing in the wind, and also works of elegant simplicity.
Other pieces feature an improvisational technique using crumpled tissue paper. Known as "le crimp," it allows for a rich and detailed texture.
The figure of a deer whose neck gives way to gnarled tree branches instead of an antlered head is roughly textured and made from dark brown paper; the result is virtually indistinguishable from tree bark
In the show's science section, one wall features a work entitled "Oribotics (The Future Unfolds)," by Austrian artist Matthew Gardiner. The undulating robotic origami flowers open and close only when a viewer comes near.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on July 3, 2014 at 5:52am: ''Art and Anatomy'' is a collaboration between University of Otago scientists, Dunedin artists and Dunedin School of Art students and staff.
The artists worked with the scientists for eight months, watching what they were doing in their research and responding to that.
The exhibition is part of the 2014 New Zealand International Science Festival, which is on in Dunedin from July 5-13.

''Art and Anatomy'' is on at the University of Otago Hunter Centre until July 11.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on July 3, 2014 at 5:50am: Art, science unite to study urban ecosystem
Can artistic expression further the goals of scientific inquiry? That’s what the Baltimore Ecosystem Study seeks to find out with its Art and Science Integration Program. An artist-in-residence is paired with biological and social scientists, with the goal of gaining a better understanding of the urban ecosystem. To date, the program has incorporated writers, painters, poets, and dancers.
“We go beyond just using art as a communication tool from science to the public. We use art as a way to stimulate our scientists in new ways of thinking. And that’s a really different kind of program,” said Steward Pickett, a distinguished senior scientist at the Cary Institute.
Waiting to see the results....K
