“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.”

GROW YOUR OWN: TRINITY COLLEGE, DUBLIN
Grow Your Own is now on view at the Science Gallery at Trinity College, Dublin and will run until 19 January 2014.The exhibition invites attendees to consider some of the potentially ground-breaking applications and uncertain implications of synthetic life. By tackling the questions that the concept and reality of designing life raise, Grow Your Own hopes to get ?under the hood? of synthetic biology, explore some of the techniques and research behind it and provide an opportunity to help shape future discussions. This exhibition includes work by artists, designers, scientists and engineers that evoke the themes of living versus non-living, human versus nature and design versus evolution.

It might seem that agriculture and art are polar opposites; one belongs to the analytical and scientific, and the other to the creative and instinctive. However, a number of professors in the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences not only can see the kinship between the two, but also personally demonstrate how science can inspire works of art.

Art is marginalized by science, says Padma Bhushan dancer
adma Bhushan Alarmel Valli, who is one of the leading Bharatnatyam dancers in India, stressed on the need to give arts and humanities equal importance in the country.

"Arts and humanities is so marginalised in today`s world, particularly in India where the focus is so much on science and technology. The work of institutions like the Bhavan is invaluable in that context," said Valli, as part of her M P Birla Memorial Lecture titled `Past Forward: My Journey Through Dance` at the Bhavan Centre in London

Dance for science
It was the coming together of science and art, thus the brain becoming basis for choreography. The performance by noted Bharatanatyam artiste Rajeswari Sainath and her team, with scientific inputs provided by neurosurgeon Dr. I. Dinakar alternately, last week at Ravindra Bharati was under the aegis of Hyderabad’s North Branch of Indian Medical Association and Rajeswari’s Srutilaya Kendra Natarajalaya.

Artist Creates 88 Nonillion Imaginary Artworks For The Tate
An artist has created an incomprehensibly large number of imaginary artworks for the Tate using a computer algorithm.

The artist behind 'Shardcore', a website exploring "the interface between art and science" created the works using a massive dataset of artistic descriptions released by the museum.

Released on Github, the Tate's data included information on 70,000 artworks that it owns or owns jointly with the National Galleries of Scotland, as well as 3,500 associated artists

Communications professor wins award for documentary, ‘Intersecting Sparks’: Q & A with Dr. Mary Beth Leidman
In October, a communications media professor received a silver Davey Award for education from the International Academy of Visual Arts for her work of several years, a documentary titled “Intersecting Sparks.”

The name of the award derives from the tale of David and Goliath, according to the award’s webpage. The recipients, including Dr. Mary Beth Leidman, are essentially “Creative Davids” who have big ideas but not big budgets.

The film follows the life of Michael Lazar, a geophysicist and sculptor who lives in Israel. Leidman’s film can be found in the collegiate libraries of several schools such as the Rhode Island Institute of Design and University of Maryland.

“Intersecting Sparks: Art & Science, Research & Exploration” was screened Nov. 4, in Weyandt Hall.
