“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.”

‘Tim’s Vermeer’: A non-painter makes art a science
Based on math and optics, it still seems like magic.
Few artists have inspired the “How did he do it?” question as frequently as the 17th century Dutch master Johannes Vermeer, who created astonishingly detailed, richly vibrant photo-realistic works a century and a half before photography was invented.

Was Vermeer actually capable of creating these works from his imagination, of defying science and somehow turning his eye into the equivalent of a human light meter? Or did he use some sort of device to essentially capture photographic precision?
The question of whether Vermeer used some sort of camera obscura contraption to create his works has been raised before by the likes of art historian Philip Steadman and artist David Hockney (both of whom appear in this film), but nobody has attempted to solve the mystery with the mad-genius obsession of one Tim Jenison, a video-equipment innovator and multimillionaire entrepreneur who apparently has been so successful he has a LOT of time on his hands to pursue elaborately whimsical quests.

Voiced and produced by Penn Jillette and directed by his partner-in-magic Teller, “Tim’s Vermeer” chronicles Jenison’s years-long effort to figure out just how Vermeer was able to produce incredibly intricate, nearly three-dimensional paintings such as “The Music Lesson.”
Mirrors and relatively sophisticated lenses were popular in the Holland in the 1600s, and it’s Jenison’s theory that Vermeer created an optical device that allowed him to duplicate a setting almost as if were “tracing” the original as opposed to creating it freehand. Would this make Vermeer a “cheat” of sorts, or just a different kind of genius?

“I’m not a painter,” Jenison reminds us time and again, yet he embarks on a painstaking, sometimes excruciatingly tedious quest to re-create the setting of “The Music Lesson” down to the most intricate stitching of the tapestries, the light on the wall, the woodwork and every other detail in the painting. The resourceful Mr. Jenison builds a set, enlists the help of live models and even journeys to Buckingham Palace, where the queen grants him a 30-minute audience with the original painting, under the condition Jenison record his impressions only with his mind.

After years of research, Jenison retreats to a warehouse in Texas and attempts to re-create “The Music Lesson” with the aid of a relatively simple mirrored tool he has created. The final result, achieved after more than four months of intense work, is … well, astonishing.

Schillinger’s approach is scientific. Music is broken down to the common denominators, Rhythm, the fastest duration, scales and harmony, the interval. (Schillinger’s theory is transferable to any temperament). This gives a visual approach to analysis not only are his hypothesis analyzable but also your own can be developed.
Here is a simple practical example: Say you have created a phrase or melody by intuition and you are looking for some ideas of where it may take you. Doing some simple inversions or retrograde or both give you some options. Along with permutations of phrases, expansions of scales etc.. Now it is still the artist’s choices that we hear and not what everyone would create using Schillinger’s system.

This Portrait of Stephen Fry Was Made From His Own Bacteria
the portrait is "made from the subjects' own cells – and have been grown by Zachary Copfer, an American microbiologist and photographer."
To make the Pop Art style images, Zachary cleverly exposes areas of a petri dish to radiation in order to stimulate the bacteria's growth. This creates a photograph grown entirely from the bacteria itself. Zachary is the only person in the world practicing this art, which he terms "Bacteriography". This is the first time his work has been brought to the UK.
