“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 7, 2014 at 9:53am: An Unusual Stanford Art Exhibit Draws Upon Disease for Inspiration
rt often idealizes the human body, sidelining messy reality. Imagine entering a museum only to recognize on display a disease or disability that you’ve struggled with.

This experience is now available to sufferers of Apert syndrome, Dupuytren’s contracture and a variety of other maladies at “Inside Rodin’s Hands: Art, Technology, and Surgery.” This unusual exhibit, running April 9 – August 3 at Stanford’s Cantor Arts Center, is a collaboration between one of the world’s largest Rodin collections and preeminent medical schools.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on May 7, 2014 at 7:11am: Common Descent, an art exhibition open until June 8 curated by Maddy Rosenberg of Central Booking in New York City, explores the interpretation of Darwinian evolution. On Friday May 2 the gallery hosted a panel discussion of artists and local scientists entitled “Art and Evolution: a Work in Progress,” which explored some of that art while trying to understand—and put to bed—some of the common misconceptions about species evolution.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on May 6, 2014 at 8:30am: ScienceROCKS at the Ontario Science Centre with The Science of Rock 'N' Roll

Rockin' new exhibition showcases how science and technology have revolutionized music

The Science of Rock 'N' Roll drops at the Ontario Science Centre on June 11, 2014. This rockin' exhibition, which makes its Canadian debut in Toronto, explores how advances in science and technology have revolutionized music -- and how we make, listen, experience and share it. This summer, the Ontario Science Centre invites visitors to rock out and explore the convergence of art and science in music.

"Music is a fusion of art and science, and technology is constantly changing how we access and experience it," said Lesley Lewis, CEO, Ontario Science Centre. "Science is everywhere. It is found in unexpected places, and people may be surprised to learn just how much science and technology have impacted and influenced the evolution of rock 'n' roll. This exhibition will allow visitors to experience the music they know and love through a scientific lens."
"The story of rock is usually told in terms of artists, songs, albums and events. The Science of Rock 'N' Roll is different; it shows how rock 'n' roll is the direct result of the collision of art, science and technology," said Alan Cross, Toronto radio personality and the exhibition's content developer. "Rock's evolution is almost completely dependent upon advances in science and technology. Visitors to the exhibition will learn how and – most importantly – why the relationship between art and science works."
The Science of Rock 'N' Roll exhibition features eight areas that comprise different interactive components, historical artifacts, informational walls, documentary videos and more.

The Art of Rock sets the stage about the incalculable impact of rock 'n' roll as an instigator and vehicle of social, political, and cultural change. It's about originality, self-expression and freedom of speech. But it's also about cars, groupies and having a good time on a Friday night; and it's the result of art and science intersecting in music. Rock would not exist in the form it does today without advances in science and technology.

Decades of Rock showcases the history and evolution of rock from the 1950s to the present day using artifacts, photos and informational panels.

Rock Composed features interactive displays that demonstrate how tone, pitch, key, rhythm, tempo, timbre, melody, hook, harmony and contour all come in to play when composing rock music.

The Tools of Rock lets visitors summon their inner rock star in five different interactive areas where they will learn about the history and the science behind how instruments work – guitars, keyboards, drums and amplifiers.

Sound of Rock demonstrates how the sounds of rock are produced and how we perceive them. Visitors will learn how their brains are affected by rock music. They will discover the differences between mono versus all the various flavours of stereo and create their own riff on a 'Reactable,'an interactive music-making table.

Recorded Music teaches visitors how recording studio technology affected the evolution of music. This area includes fascinating stories behind how music has been captured over the last 140 years, all told using video blog stations, slide shows, artifacts and a working recording booth.

Careers in Rock highlights the numerous careers that are available in the music industry both on- and off-stage using informational panels and interactive displays.

Concert Experience immerses visitors into a virtual setting of a live concert using a twenty-foot video wall, light show and crowd effects. It's the ultimate finale to The Science of Rock 'N' Roll.

The Science of Rock 'N' Roll opens on June 11, 2014 and runs until October 26, 2014 at the Ontario Science Centre.
