“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.”

Art and science: Opposites attract
To many, science and art are the classic examples of never-the-twain-shall-meet.
During the Industrial Revolution of the 19th and 20th centuries, a need for specialization temporarily pulled apart science and art. ( why, may I ask? -K)

The Art of Science
Meet Anna Dimitriu. An artist who, quite simply, likes to turn bacteria into art. Known as the founder and director of the ‘The Institute of Unnecessary Research’, this group is a collaboration between artists and scientists who work to cross boundaries between art and science. She is also an artist in residence on the UK Clinical Research Consortium’s Modernising Medical Microbiology project. Winner of the 2012 Society for Applied Microbiology Communication Award, Anna represents an emerging trend of partnerships between artists and scientists that have the potential to engage more people in science from an entirely different angle.

Researcher Combines Art, Science in Cancer Spread Study
https://news.azpm.org/p/local-news/2014/3/25/31403-researcher-combi...
UA assistant professor of cellular and molecular medicine, Ghassan Mouneimne, Ph.D., uses microscopes and Photoshop to create startling - and even beautiful to some - images of cancer cells.His work is not meant to beautify cancer, but rather to provide a different perspective.
Mouneimne uses various microscopy techniques to take movies and pictures of cells.
"But, of course, this is within the context of the science," Mouneimne said. "So we are not, like, manipulating the images to make them look different from the actual data."

VSAC 2014 Over the last few decades there has been a growing interest in studying interactions between art and vision. An increasing number of publications (articles, books, special issues) and meetings (workshops, symposia) have encouraged researchers, scholars and students to gather together in a unitary community that can cooperate, discuss and develop new scientific perspectives in this complex and intriguing new field. The Visual Science of Art Conference (VSAC) emerged as a natural consequence of the development and maturation of this community. It was initiated as a biannual, worldwide academic conference by Baingio Pinna in 2012 with the aim of contributing to the scientific study of interactions between vision science and art. The first VSAC was a satellite meeting to the 36th European Conference on Visual Perception (ECVP) held in Sardinia, Italy. VSAC welcomes all kinds of work and approaches, from phenomenological to biological and computational, exploring the link between the science of perception and the visual arts. It also includes studies that might suggest new ideas and new findings useful for the experimental foundation of a Visual Science of Art. Specifically, VSAC is aimed at a deeper understanding of vision, art, and their relationship based on the observation that both visual science and visual arts (i) explore visual perception through its main properties - color, spatial vision, shape, visual organization, depth and motion; (ii) analyze and create a large variety of phenomena that involve a range of objects, from the simplest possible to the most complex that involve integration across different sensory modalities; and (iii) answer different but related questions about how and why we see the way we do. For further information on VSAC 2014, please explore the options on the left hand side of this page and/or contact the organizing committee at info@ecvp2014.org

Exhibit displays science inherent in art
Though the word "art" has been shoehorned into the education acronym for science, technology, engineering and mathematics to make "STEAM," when it comes to college admissions, there is no standardized measure for creativity. Though part of the mystique of the iPhones we stroke and pinch all day comes from Steve Jobs' legendary passion for calligraphy, our culture isn't really serious about the value of art, design or science, for that matter.What makes "Inquiring Finds: The Science Behind the Art" significant is its doubly defiant stance. The show is not trying to emulate the hands-on science-meets-art atmosphere of an institution like San Francisco's Exploratorium. It is also not trying to simplify the art-making process.

BioArt in the Industrial Wasteland
"Bioart in An Industrial Wasteland," funded by the National Endowment of the Arts, served as a visual metaphor for refiguring abandoned post-industrial sites. The project was situated in a neglected block of post-industrial upstate New York. In a neighborhood that has seen an exceptional shift in community engagement through arts, the series directly engaged citizens in an exploration that links art, science and technology to develop do-it-yourself ecological ingenuity and collaboration."Bio-art” is a contemporary art form that draws on the natural sciences by working with living systems, biological techniques and materials. Workshops helped build public art installations, helped the community think creatively about ‘curing’ their local ecologies, and asked ethical questions involving environmental health and future developments in such areas as DNA imaging and synthetic biology.
This project aimed to build ties between city dwellers and the environment surrounding them in a series of artist presentations and community workshops that will lay the foundation of an urban nature center in North Troy, NY.
