“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 December 12, 2015 at 5:54am: Where art and science collide

An exhibit brings new purpose to a decommissioned UW research facility
Condensed Matter Community,” a curatorial project featuring work by 34 artists in a variety of media, seeks to spark dialogue about the art/science nexus. Instead of a nondescript white gallery, the project has been installed at the Synchrotron Radiation Center, a recently decommissioned particle accelerator in Stoughton. It’s a visually rich environment, with evidence of past experiments, in-progress preparations for new experiments, and even the random personal effects left behind by scientists who worked there.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on December 12, 2015 at 5:51am: What does space look like? These NASA artists are trying to show you
When NASA scientists see space, it’s often in chunks of data: lightwaves, equations and chemical breakdowns. They know, if human eyes could see it, if they could just picture the universe in the way an astronaut does, they would be astonished.

That’s where Dan Goods and others like him come in.

These in-house NASA artists build abstract art installations that turn complex ideas into awe-inspiring experiences, paint beautiful artwork of sights they’ve never seen and use their artistic skills to promote the work of their counterparts who boldly go where no one has gone before.
Turning data into beauty:
A few miles away from JPL, at the Spitzer Science Center at Caltech, Robert Hurt, an astronomer turned artist, uses research papers and scientific discoveries to create images of the universe. Whether it’s recoloring an image snapped by the infrared Spitzer Telescope or creating an animation that tells the story of the galaxy, Hurt distills science into artistry.
Artists provide a different perspective:
Even among other artists within NASA’s Jet Propulson Laboratory, Goods is a little out of the ordinary. The ArtCenter College of Design graduate leads a team of seven that have become coveted by project leads for their ability to come at topics from an artist’s mindset. The group turns the complicated language of scientists into abstract art installations, travel posters and exciting presentations that work for both outsiders and the administrators holding a project’s purse strings.

They might make the design of project more user friendly, or more functional, by coming at it from the mindset of someone who designs for consumers, not scientists.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on December 9, 2015 at 12:06pm: Exhibit Explores Science and the Arts

For the eighth year in a row, the office of Academic Advising and Planning is celebrating the newest installment of “Art Matters” on the second floor of the Lightsey Center. This year, students from all departments submitted their art on the theme “Transcending the Ordinary: Exploring the Mysteries of Nature.”

All 32 sculptures, paintings, drawings and etchings in the collection were inspired by plants, animals, rocks and other features of the natural world.

Six artists in particular contributed to a special section of the exhibit called Art + Science.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on December 5, 2015 at 6:10am: Blain|Southern has announced a major solo exhibition of new work by acclaimed US artist Michael Joo. Joo is a conceptual artist who works across a variety of media, the artist blurs the boundaries between art and science. Themes of energy, nature, technology, history and perception recur throughout his practice as he examines narratives of places, people and objects.

By juxtaposing various pools of knowledge and culture Joo addresses the fluid nature of identity itself. The artist does so by making use of an extensive variety of medium: video, sculpture, installations out of any sort of material ranging from bamboo to human sweat and cameras, drawing and print making.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on December 3, 2015 at 8:12am: A stunning image of a fruit fly winging its way through a virtual environment has taken out the Queensland Brain Institute’s Art in Neuroscience artistic award.

The awards, judged by The University of Queensland’s Dr Allison Holland and Brisbane artist Dr Svenja Kratz, highlight the point where art meets science in the laboratory.

Dr Holland said the winning image was captured by QBI PhD student Kiaran Lawson.

The technical award was won by Iris Wang, whose Axon Petal used of cell plating and imaging techniques to illustrate cell growth patterns.

Details of all winners can be found on the QBI website.
