“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 2, 2014 at 6:44am: Art and science merge at Dali Museum
In a blend of the art world and the science community, an exhibit at the St. Petersburg Dali Museum showcased a medley of the two.
The art-science collaboration is derived not only from the museum’s namesake, Salvador Dali, but from what Fries said is a relationship between two fields that benefit from one another.

“Both artist and scientist observe the world,” he said. “Artists typically work to try to represent the world and scientists build instruments to observe it. Having different ways of viewing the world may help with making sense of our observations with the world.”

The art-science dynamic allows for a bridge to be made between two fields, both looking to examine the world, he said. USF students could study the simulation for their research as Fries is experimenting with mixing art and science and bringing that into his research here at USF.

Because PLASM, created by Fries in collaboration with international artist TeZ, runs on unique mathematical algorithms, viewers will never see replicated images, making each viewing unique.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on June 29, 2014 at 9:14am: Fantasy art, health science come together for exhibit

When two Permian Basin physicians collaborate with a team of artists both international and local, the result is “Healing Blade: Fantasy Art in Medicine” on display now at the Ellen Noel Art Museum of the Permian Basin.

With illustrations of bacteria as villains and antibiotics as heroes, the exhibition details the facts behind each piece while providing a backstory to each character in a universe named Soma.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on June 29, 2014 at 5:43am: UNESCO World Heritage Status Awarded to France’s Chauvet-Pont Cave Art
Decorated cave of Pont d’Arc, known as Grotte Chauvet-Pont d’Arc, Ardèche,’ France deserves World Heritage status because it is covered in pictures of animals, many now extinct, along with some more primitive negative and positive hand paintings typical of very early humans in Europe.

Chauvet is the name of one of the cave explorers who discovered the more than 30,000 years old cave paintings in the cave, whose entrance 25 metres below the surface had been obscured by a rock fall for probably 23,000 years, experts believe.
The designation is somewhat controversial in that very little research has been undertaken to obtain a correct dating for these 1,000 pictures drawn or carved on the walls of the Grotte Chauvet. Carbon dating efforts made in the early 1990s, soon after the cave was discovered, suggesting an origin of 30,000-32,000 years ago, remain the subject of controversy.
In 2012 Decoded Science spoke to a world expert on the dating of early cave art, Dr. Paul Pettitt, now Professor of Archaeology at Durham University, U.K. – Professor Pettitt explained the difficulty of dating ancient pigments at that time.
Professor Pettitt has declared publically that he believes the Chauvet cave paintings are stylistically rather later than any dating evidence has put them. He has been involved in using other research methods which date certain cave paintings to be by Neanderthals, and therefore earlier than the Chauvet ones by several millennia.

Other studies of artistic skill manifested in prehistoric cave paintings suggest that a sophisticated knowledge of the actual working of animal bodies led to more accurate depictions of horses and cattle, for instance, than more recent artists demonstrate.
The only dating evidence for Grotte Chauvet-Pont d’Arc is in fact for when the caves were inhabited by (now extinct) cave bears. Researchers extracted DNA from bear bones found in the cave, which has offered quite a wide date range for when the cave was occupied by the animals; between 37,000 and 29,000 years ago. To preserve the pristine Chauvet originals for further study, a full size replica is being constructed on the surface nearby, to be opened in April, 2015.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on June 27, 2014 at 9:55am: The Art of Neuroscience, part of the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience (SfN), seeks artists whose work is directly related to neuroscience. For a $300 fee, artists can show their work at the gigantic gathering of some 30,000 neuroscientists in Washington, DC.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on June 27, 2014 at 9:54am: Two major annual meetings of scientific organizations, The American Public Health Association and the Society for Neuroscience, have created opportunities for science artists to display and sell their work to their thousands of attendees. Rather remarkably, both take place on exactly the same dates – November 15-19, 2014.

The annual meeting of the American Public Health Association (APHA), held this year in New Orleans, attracts 12,000 attendees in a wide variety of fields related to public health. As part of a new initiative called Art @ The Expo, they are looking for 20 artists or crafters whose work is health, medicine or science related to show and vend at the meeting. The $200 booth fee for 3 days is a fraction of what APHA charges its large commercial exhibitors.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on June 27, 2014 at 9:52am: UNT Professor Ruth West Is Linking Art and Science to Make Both Easier to Understand
UNT professor Ruth West is showing me a diagram of branching lines that resembles a March Madness bracket. It's Darwin's handiwork. The scientist sketched the visual tool in order to reclassify earth's living genealogy, as informed by evolution. It's just one artful rendering, but it represents a total change of perspective in how we view and understand the world.
This sweet spot, the intersection of aesthetics and research, is where West digs in. She moved to Denton from Los Angeles last year to educate across four of UNT's colleges -- Information, Visual Arts and Design, Arts and Sciences and Engineering -- and to run UNT's new xREZ Laboratory, a hybrid creative studio and research lab.
