“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.”

Where two continents collided an island once stood. The 34th International Geological Congress termed the era the Anthropocene: an age where mankind has become a geophysical force impacting earth and its ecosytems in supra-human time. Is the disappearance of the island a one-off or a direct consequence of the Anthropocene?

ADAPTATION
23 June - 4th July 2014
All Saints College, Performing Arts, Bullcreek, Perth Western Australia Opening event: 6pm 24 June Presented by Art On The Move (supported by The Department of Culture and the Arts Western Australia) Adaptation comes to Perth! From the microbe to the macro, and everything in between, Adaptation is an artistic research project partnership between SymbioticA and the City of Mandurah.
The participating artists responded to their environmental concerns through biology and scientific methods, and went beyond didactic or descriptive artworks to those that challenge the viewer to think about the broader issues surrounding the Lake Clifton site in Mandurah (home to the trombolites).

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on June 20, 2014 at 6:16am: A physicist’s excursion into the deep art and science of origami

Susan Orlean: “A lot of people, throughout history, have walked away from respectable careers to become, say, poets or jazz musicians, but there are viable markets, albeit small and competitive, for those pursuits.

Orlean was profiling the Caltech laser physicist Robert J. Lang, who did just that. After an undergraduate degree from the Pasadena institute, a master’s from Stanford, a doctorate from Caltech and a career at JPL, Lang moved to Northern California and began to pursue his longtime hobby of origami as a profession.

The Japanese art of paper-folding has never seen anything like it. Not that its masters in Asia are just doing little swans to hold your chopsticks at the sushi bar. But it’s safe to say that no one prior to Lang had ever applied the deep mathematics that he does to how to take the craft one step further.

The opening reception for “Folded” is Thursday, June 19, from 7 to 9 p.m. The show will be on view through Aug. 20.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on June 20, 2014 at 5:59am: Adapting to climate change: Art and the community in the Cheng Long Wetlands, Taiwan
Artists involve the local fish farming community in the fifth iteration of the Cheng Long Wetlands Project in Taiwan.

The Cheng Long Wetlands International Environmental Art Project invites international artists to create sculptural installations in the local setting. The project aims to involve community members, creating awareness of environmental issues and improving conditions for a better livelihood and a conscious environmental practice.
The fifth edition of the Cheng Long Wetlands International Environmental Art Project in Taiwan’s Yunlin County is themed “Fishing for a Better Environment” and was launched on 2 May 2014. The installations will remain on site until next year’s project in April 2015. From the 157 applicants from 48 countries, curator Jane Ingram Allen selected six artists that submitted proposals focusing on the local fish farming industry.

The artists-in-residence spent the month of April 2014 in the small fishing village of Cheng Long to create outdoor sculptural installations in, on and around the fishing huts. The artists collaborated and discussed with the local community and hut owners to agree on what could be done in their assigned location.
