“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 May 14, 2014 at 8:11am: NASA Talk Examines How Leonardo da Vinci Invented the Future

On Tuesday, May 13,2014, at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, Bulent Atalay -- artist, author and scientist -- has presented "Leonardo and the Intersection of Art and Science" at 2 p.m. in the Reid Conference Center.
Atalay has discussed how the creator of some of the most famous works in the history of art was only a part-time artist. It was his full-time curiosity to understand the world that drove him to study nature, make careful observations, seek mathematical proofs and record all his findings

That same evening at 7:30, Atalay has presented a similar program for the general public at the Virginia Air & Space Center in downtown Hampton.

A creator who approached science through art and art through science, Atalay's lecture will look at Leonardo's grand achievements and his status as a visionary. Some of his discoveries preceded achievements associated with Galileo, Newton and Darwin.

He even prefigured entire sciences not to be formally invented for centuries. Leonardo created paintings that showed knowledge of aerodynamics, optics, geology, hydrology, physics and mathematics, and mechanical drawings for futuristic technology.

Described by National Public Radio, the Washington Post, and the National Geographic Society as a 21st Century Renaissance Man, Atalay is a professor emeritus of physics at the University of Mary Washington, adjunct professor at the University of Virginia, and a member of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton

He is the author of "Math and the Mona Lisa," available in 14 languages, and "Leonardo's Universe."

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on May 12, 2014 at 5:37am: Art meets science: Grant program seeks biodiversity art
The University of Wyoming Biodiversity Institute is bringing science and art together with a grant program now in its second year.

The Biodiversity Art Grant Program offers money for projects that combine biodiversity science and creative arts. Grants are available for UW students, faculty, academic professionals and staff.

“The goal is to communicate science to a really broad audience,” said Dorothy Tuthill, associate director of the Biodiversity Institute.

Proposals for the second round of funding are due May 30, with artists then having a year to complete their project. Artists are required to give a public presentation of their work.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on May 11, 2014 at 6:55am: One Artist Wants To Erase Your DNA !
You may not have thought of your DNA as a hot commodity, but as the future continues to look more and more like a dystopian science fiction film, we recommend you wise up. Artist Heather Dewey-Hagborg, director of BioGenFutures, is here to help. The art-meets-science provocateur has crafted a product designed to eliminate those pesky traces of your DNA you left behind, assuring you of your genetic privacy.

Whether you're shedding hairs, spitting out little bits of fingernail or wiping off a hint of saliva, you could be leaving behind valuable information about your identity that shouldn't be shared with the untrustworthy masses. With a little spray of "Invisible," you can eliminate 99.5% of your genetic info and obfuscate the remaining 0.5%, leaving you virtually anonymous. Thus you'll eliminate your odds of being tracked, analyzed or cloned -- all possibilities that seem more likely every day
http://biogenfutur.es/
Dewey-Haborg provides a handy list of uses for her tech-savvy product, straddling the line between humor and seriousness so dexterously we don't know what to think. Potential uses for "Invisible" include: "Spend the night somewhere you shouldn't have? Erase your mistake and be invisible" or "Dinner with the prospective in-laws going smoothly? Don't let them judge you based on your DNA, be invisible."

This isn't the artist's first time fusing science and art in ways that make us unable to sleep at night. A previous endeavor involved using found DNA to create lifelike portraits of the strangers they belonged to. If nothing else, we'd like to buy "Invisible" to protect ourselves from Dewey-Haborg.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on May 8, 2014 at 8:53am: How To Make Anthill Art With Molten Aluminum
The method is fairly simple (as you can see in the video below). You just melt some aluminum in a bucket, identify an anthill, and pour the liquid metal into the spout. In the description of the video on YouTube, the guy more or less says he doesn't mind roasting hundreds of red imported fire ants alive. He says they "are harmful to the environment and their nests are exterminated by the millions in the United States using poisons, gasoline and fire, boiling water, and very rarely molten aluminum."

It's interesting to see the difference between fire ant nests, which are elaborate and dense with tunnels, and carpenter ant nests, which are more simplistic and linear. Once the molten aluminum has seeped through the nest, you dig it out with a shovel and hose away the excess dirt.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on May 8, 2014 at 6:12am: From Mars to the stage: JPL Choir explores math and music
Some of the greatest minds in science work at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory near Pasadena. This weekend a group of them will turn their attention from exploring space to exploring their artsy side.

The JPL Choir will perform a free concert at the Pasadena Symphony's Ambassador Auditorium Saturday night.

The choir is made up of about 50 staff members, many of them scientists and engineers. It formed about two and a half years ago. The group meets once a week to focus on heavenly voices instead of heavenly bodies.
