“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.”

ROM climate-change show aims to bridge the gap between art and science
Half a century ago, English novelist and scientist C.P. Snow famously coined the term “the two cultures” to describe how scientists and artists had become separated by a gulf of mutual ignorance. David Buckland is trying to close that gap, by booking passage for artists on scientific research trips into the Far North.

Hungarian Minister inaugurates contemporary Hungarian art exhibition in capital(Delhi)
Hungarian Minister of Human Resources Zoltan Balog and Secretary, Union Ministry of Culture Ravindra Singh on Thursday inaugurated an exhibition entitled "From Organic Forms to Light Art

In his address, while defining the features of Hungarian art, Balog said that the exhibition, which has multiple sections, has two basic parts-one is organic art and the other is light art, based on the connection between science, techniques and art.

Balog also explained that there were three basic features of Hungarian art.

"One of the basic features of Hungarian art is a simultaneous openness to different basic tendencies," Balog said.

"The other basic feature of Hungarian art is having a catalyzing force from living traditions, from Bela Bartok, Karoly Kos to Imre Makovecz," he said.

"The third feature of this exhibition is the individual determination and multifaceted nature of Hungarian art which are all related," he added.

Speaking on the occasion, Ravindra Singh said the Indian-Hungary cultural ties have been explored with varied dimensions by both the countries on several occasions in the past.

He said he was delighted to note that the exhibition has been realized by the NGMA, reflecting the development of the Hungarian culural roots and their impact on world culture.

The exhibition, which showcases 40 contemporary artists from Hungary, encompasses a range of artworks exploring divergent themes of art and architecture.

Vice President of the Hungarian Academy of Arts, Attila Csaji, curated the exhibition defining significant contributions of the Hungarian artists, including organic art, figurative and non-figurative works, light art, graphics, sculptures and geometric art.

The exhibition is open for public viewing till 31st October, 2013.

The exhibition is accompanied by the release of a comprehensive catalogue and a concert by Kobzos Ensemble.The concert will be performed at the NGMA on the 28 October, 2013 at 5.00 p.m. The show will travel to the National Gallery of Modern Art, Mumbai (November 15 to December 5) and National Gallery of Modern Art, Bengaluru (December 17 to January 12).

The exhibition reflects development of the Hungarian cultural roots and their impact on the world culture with some of the outstanding works in different fields of arts in the past 30-40 years.

Art and science converge in UT scientists' animal prints
The work of two UT scientists who use Japanese printmaking techniques to create images of a variety of insects, mammals and birds will be highlighted in two art exhibitions in November.
Adam Cohen, collections manager of ichthyology at Texas Natural History Collections, and Ben Labay, research biologist at the Texas Natural Science Center, started by making prints of fish, but have since expanded to larger and more complicated subjects.
Using Gyotaku, an art form historically employed by Japanese fishermen to chart the sizes of catches, Cohen and Labay apply paint to their animal subjects, then dab off the excess drizzle before pressing the animals against paper to create a print. The results, scanned and readied for gallery showing, are presented through their “Inked Animal” project.
The Art.Science.Gallery. will also feature the scientists’ latest work on imaging insects in an upcoming exhibition called Eclosion. The exhibition features 57 works by 44 artists and aims to highlight the interactions of insects within the natural and modern worlds — hoping to increase public understanding of arthropods’ lives.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on October 17, 2013 at 5:49am: From Leonardo:

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: HYPOTHESIS: AN ART/SCIENCE FAIR
Hypothesis: An Art/Science Fair examines the intersection of art and science by showcasing the ways in which both artists and scientists ask questions, experiment with processes and arrive at outcomes. The Lab invites artists, makers, performers, scientists, writers and any other interested parties to participate. The event will take place on the evening of Friday, 1 November at The Lab in San Francisco. Participants will be asked to represent their practice (artistic, scientific or any combination thereof) in relation to the scientific method and present it in the form of a traditional science fair display board. The collected displays will be exhibited in a traditional science fair format; viewers will be able to interact with the presenters as well as see and explore the questions, research and results of the participants' work. Deadline to submit: 27 October 2013.

Abstraction in art is when you have a work that is abstracted from something. It doesn't need to be figurative - it can be non-representational in the sense that it doesn't resemble what it is abstracted from. However, the work still has it's roots in something other than itself.
>
> The concrete in art is when you have a work that makes no reference to anything outside itself. It's only subject is itself. Such works are purely formalist.
>
> I would argue that purely formalist art is an impossibility, just as work that is indistinguishable from what it represents is impossible. Pure formalism isn't possible as everything is linked to something, if not most things, in some way. Even purist minimal formalism, such as the work of Max Bill, makes reference to something. In Bill's case he makes reference to the Modernist reductivist ethic and mathematics. A work like Malevich's White Square on White, which many consider a precursor to purist formalism, makes reference to theosophy and notions of the sublime. Beyond these issues there is the problem that a work exists as received by the reader, not as intended by the writer. The writer cannot control what the reader will bring to the work - and the reader will always bring something, contextualising and grounding the work in some kind of referential relationship.
>
> Realism and formalism are the ever receding impossible targets that some artists have pursued in their desire for perfection. I'm no Buddhist - but a middle (perhaps messy) way seems wise in this context. That's why I still think post-modernism has wings - it is premised on the messy way.
