“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.”

Pollution and light dance on the side of the Wilma Theater
A new, outdoor art installation — projected onto the face of the Wilma Theater — is adding more color to the bright lights along Broad Street in Philadelphia.

The display is a collaboration between New Mexico digital artist Andrea Polli and Philadelphia's own smoggy air. Most of the time, the "Particle Falls" exhibit will show a flickering blue and white waterfall.

"But if there is a lot of particulate pollution, you start to see orange and red dots flickering over the waterfall, and if there's really a lot of particulate pollution the waterfall almost transforms to a fireball," said Polli, who teaches at the Social Media Work Group at the University of New Mexico.

Polli consults with scientists to find visual — and immediate — ways to convey the complexity of issues such climate change. Her Philadelphia exhibited is powered by a nearby air-quality monitor, called a nephelometer

Printing the Future
Shane Hope, whose work is in the permanent collection of science art at Science House, is featured in Gizmodo talking about 3D printing.

The artist was at the New York Hall of Science in Queens to show works created using a homemade RepRap printer to fabricate the works. I've made Mystery Jars from Shane's RepRap scraps. They are quite beautiful, and I love the way even the scraps show the textures and shapes that are possible.

Shane Hope's art starts with molecular structures. The piece in the permanent collection at Science House is called “Transubstrational: As a Smartmatter of Nanofacture.” The molecule most heavily represented in the piece is graphene, which is hot right now.

"Doing science proper I am not," Shane Hope told Gizmodo. "I’m repurposing the representational rubrics of molecular visualization just enough to relay to viewers a sense of how hacking matter happens."

Pieces currently on exhibition at Science House include Google engineer and biochemist Mike Tyka's sculpture of a ubiquitin molecule, Angel of Death, a nanotech series by Jack Mason of IBM and four pieces given to the collection by Laetitia and Richard Garriott de Cayeux, including images of Florida taken by Richard and his father from space 35 years apart. Richard is the first second generation astronaut in the world. Every piece in the permanent collection at Science House tells a story about the future.

Food Arts: A World of Art in Science, Food as Digital Art
A lot of people associate moto as a science-driven innovation experience. I consider what we do as art in many forms. Science being just one art form we explore in food. But on the outside of the restaurant we like to showcase the inspiration and origination of an idea. Also, how we want you to remember it. So I invite you to experience the digital art we create in food. In my opinion it can have a lasting effect after you experience it in real life.

In this digital expression of Chef Richard Farina's Prawn & Melon dish, we explore a single dish as food art, art in science and food as digital art.

Opening This Week: Art of Science and more
Matthew Hasty, a landscape painter and featured artist in this year’s Art of Science exhibition (opening Friday at Hyde Gallery), has no idea what cell mitosis looks like up close. His painting, The Echoes of Pneuma, would flop in any science fair, due to its imaginative take on cell walls (Hasty: “I used beef tripe for reference”) and inclusion of some antediluvian forms that seem, at best, misplaced in the cell world (Hasty: “...those parts kind of looks like Grover?”)

It’s a good painting, even if (actually, because) it makes a human cell look like a Dantean underworld. For the hard science side of things, there’s Dr. Sharon Frase, an electron microscopist whose research was Hasty’s inspiration.

Frase and Hasty will both be on hand at this Friday’s opening to answer questions and talk about their work.

This is the third year that St. Jude has put on the Art of Science, a project that partners local artists with St. Jude’s scientists. This year’s pull includes video installation, dance, clothing design, painting, sculpture, and graphic art.

Melissa Harris, the exhibit’s curator, explains, “We invited artists to St. Jude to see a slideshow of images from scientists, and they were able to select images based on what they were interested in. The artists and scientists interact at various levels. Sometimes the artist will go into the laboratory; sometimes the scientist will come to the artist’s studio.”

Heather Smallwood, the co-founder and president of the project, says, ““We’re hoping that it will be thought-provoking in many ways. We want people to come away interested by both the art and the science.”

Celebrating Centuries of Dutch Innovation in Art, Science, Technology And More
The unique show, "Vermeer, Rembrandt, and Hals: Masterpieces of Dutch Painting from the Mauritshuis" will be on view at the Frick Collection in New York from October 22, 2013, through January 19, 2014. Additionally, a campaign web site launched by the Royal Netherlands Embassy, www.DailyDutchInnovation.com celebrates centuries of Dutch start-up culture by presenting a new innovation each day in a variety of domains from art and design to massive engineering projects and scientific discoveries.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130926/MN86440)

A defining characteristic of Dutch culture is the creativity and ingenuity that seems to be embedded in the national DNA. You can find it expressed through art, science, technology, architecture, design and more. Whether it is a Rembrandt painting, satellite controlled flood prevention technology, or sustainable living solutions, Dutch innovation is often characterized by its open and humanistic yet rigorously scientific and pragmatic approach.

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — Marshall University's medical school is playing host to a traveling art exhibit celebrating contributions of African-American academic surgeons.

Officials at the Huntington school say the "Opening Doors:" exhibit will be on display in the lobby of the Marshall University Medical Center on the campus of Cabell Huntington Hospital through Nov. 2.

The exhibit tells the stories of four pioneering surgeons and educators who exemplified excellence in their fields and believed in the importance of mentoring younger physicians and surgeons.

Other academic surgeons from around the country also are featured in the exhibit.

The exhibit has been traveling to medical schools and academic medical centers since 2007. It was developed and produced by the National Library of Medicine and the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History and Culture.
