“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.”

An exhibition of artworks which draw on natural science for inspiration has opened at the National Archives of Australia.
On loan from the South Australian Museum, the exhibition showcases every winning entry from 12 years of the Waterhouse Natural Science Art Prize.
The prize was launched by the museum in Adelaide in 2002 to highlight the strong links between art, science and the natural world.
"We think of art and science as really two separate things, and they're not actually, they can be combined extremely well," museum director Brian Oldman said.
The unique art competition accepts any style or medium.
The Waterhouse prize will accept entries again in 2016.The exhibition of winning works will be on display at the National Archives until March next year.

Scientists and musicians compose 'world's safest driving song'
Creators hope the song will be picked up by younger drivers, who are often the most at risk on the roads
Scientists and musicians have combined to create what has been dubbed the world’s safest driving song.“Safe in Sound”, composed by professional musicians alongside psychologist Simon Moore, is designed to encourage “smooth breaking, accelerating and awareness of speed limits”.
It is designed to mimic the “Goldilocks tempo” of the average human heartbeat (around 50-80 beats per minute) and contains no lyrics or repeating melodies.
The track was an attempt to encourage younger drivers to listen to music “that won’t distract them or encourage erratic driving styles, but, instead to make choices that will help them to be safer on the road.
You can listen to the music here: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/scientists-and-musicians-...

Using blood to create works of art....
biologist-turned-artist Jaden Hastings....
Hastings is a bioartist who uses living tissues and organisms as her medium. To make the prints, which she calls “plasmatypes” after the plasma in blood, she drained half a pint of her own blood. Periodically, over the course of months at her studio, Hastings wrapped a tourniquet around her arm, drove a needle into her veins, and pumped out five vials at a time. She then mixed the blood serum with other chemicals to produce a homemade light-sensitive fluid she could slather on paper.
Hastings discovered the technique last winter when she stumbled across an article about one of the first photographic printing processes called albumen printing. Invented in 1850 by French photographer Louis Désiré Blanquart-Evrard, the technique uses a protein in egg whites called albumin as a binding agent for photographic chemicals. Paper coated in egg whites, salt, and silver nitrate became the world’s first commercial photo paper.The article also mentioned that albumin is found in blood. The protein transports nutrients and keeps fluid from leaking out of vessels. Hastings started to rethink the process of printmaking.
With her plasmatypes, Hastings joins a long line of artists using blood in their work. In the 1960s and 1970s, artists Hermann Nitsch and Judy Chicago used animal and menstrual blood in performances and art installations. Blood amped up the emotional response to the artists’ explorations of martyrdom, penance, and womanhood.Artists still use blood as a powerful symbol. For example, Jordan Eagles’ Blood Mirror is a seven-foot Plexiglas slab containing the blood of nine gay, bisexual, and transgender men and a protest against the laws restricting gay men from being blood donors. The piece is currently on exhibit at Trinity Church in New York City.
