“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.”

Science Meets Art at COC
College of the Canyons Art Gallery unveiled its newest installation, “Life as Art: Images from an Unseen World,” exposing the unlikely combination of science and art.
“This show is really a unique collaboration process, but the idea began about 10 years ago with a book my parents gave me, ‘Micro Art Images in a Hidden World,’” he said.The book is displayed with the micrographs creating photographic fine art from a water sample from Bridgeport, a hummingbird’s feather and rat intestines, just to name a few of the unseen hidden images.
“I’ve always loved what I saw in a microscope,” said Kelly Burke. “But now I’m excited to share it with the community. It’s truly amazing.”
The exhibition will disappear from view Sept. 28.

1. The Art Exhibit at the Joint Math Meeting in Baltimore(international, mathemagical)
The first is the Joint Math Meeting Art Exhibit. If you do mathematics themed art, this is a well trafficed exhibit right smack in the middle of the Exposition part of the Joint Mathematics Meeting. Think thousands and thousands of math teachers, math professors, people who use a lot of math, people who like math, the NSA, etc. all stopping by to view your art. The exhibit is international (very international) in scope and is selective. They look for high artistic quality and a fair degree of mathematical sophistication, and they are open to all media (I mean really open to all media and not just saying so). The Bridges organization runs the exhibit, and they do a very good job of promoting to their audience (mathemagical people), maintain an online gallery and archives, and publish a print catalog. Artists get a free copy of the print catalog and Bridges covers return shipping for artwork shipped from out of state. if you’ll be in the area, artists also get to attend the math meeting for free!
The Joint Math Meeting will be held in Baltimore in January. The Art exhibit is now open for submissions. Submissions may be made through October 15 at http://gallery.bridgesmathart.org/. Full details are available on the submission site. More information on the meeting is available at http://jointmathematicsmeetings.org/meetings/national/jmm2014/2160_....

The Art of Science: Sticks and Swells
When I came across a photo of a Marshall Islands stick chart on Tumblr, I had no idea that it was anything other than an elegant piece of modern art. I was very surprised to discover that the stick chart was an important piece of navigational equipment that was in active use for thousands of years.The Marshall Islands are a group of over a thousand small islands in the northern Pacific, which were settled in the second millennium BC. Stick charts were an ingenious way to navigate among the islands by canoe. The charts, made from coconut fronds tied together in an open framework, depicted major ocean swell patterns and the ways the islands disrupted those patterns. Shells were sometimes tied to the framework to represent the position of islands. Reading and interpreting the charts was a crucial skill handed down through generations.
The Marshallese continued to use canoes and stick charts for navigation until the mid-20th century, when they gradually switched to motorboats and electronic navigation systems. The charts survive not only as history, but as an art form deeply imbued with the values of an ancient, ocean-centric culture.

Art, Science, and Butterfly Metamorphosis: How a 17th-Century Woman Laid the Foundations of Modern Entomology
by Maria Popova
Remarkable drawings that shaped the course of science and radically defied gender norms.At a time when women in science were a rarity, German-born naturalist and illustrator Maria Sibylla Merian (1647–1717) did for the study of insects what pioneering fossil-hunter Mary Anning did for paleontology and egg collector and scientific illustrator Genevieve Jones did for ornithology. One of the most important contributors to the field of entomology in the history of science, her studies of insects in Surinam, documented in her meticulous and elaborate drawings — which are rediscovered and celebrated anew every few decades, including in a recent exhibition at the Getty Museum — were especially influential in shaping our understanding of the metamorphosis of the butterfly and laid the foundation for modern entomology.

Science, Meet Art
Madison, FL - Local college instructors have found a very unique way to combine art and science.It's a radio telescope. It's a work of art. It's both.
"This is a beautiful marriage of art and science together." Says, Mark Dickson, an adjunct instructor at North Florida Community College in Madison.
The art and science departments at NFCC have collaborated to create a functioning radio telescope displayed on an art sculpture.
The sculpture is about eleven feet tall and the radio telescope dish is seven feet wide.
The telescope will be used to teach science, physics, and astronomy and instructors say it can explore radio signals from the sun, the galactic center of the Milky Way, and cosmic background radiation.
Guenter Maresch, Ph.D., NFCC Physics & Astronomy Instructor, says, "We do labs to observe the sky and actually make images of the sky in the radio wave part of the spectrum."
The steel base of the telescope was designed by Tallahassee sculptor Mark Dickson.
He says, "This is a pretty exciting project to be a part of. It's kind of like one of those once-in-a-lifetime unique projects."
The project is the fifth installation of the Public Art Projects, which showcases works of art throughout campus to expose students to art.
Lisa Thompson, an NFCC Art Instructor, says, "It's important to be able to tap into that creative side of your brain. I think that art enables you to do that. It opens up possibilities in all sorts of fields."
The piece of art/science is displayed behind the science building.

Museum expert to share how science helps save artMich. -- Using science to help understand the past — and determine the future — of artwork is the topic of a talk by a Detroit Institute of Arts expert.
The art museum's director of conservation and special projects will speak Wednesday morning at the Lorenzo Cultural Center in Macomb County's Clinton Township. Barbara Heller will describe how she and her colleagues use everything from X-ray technology to pigment analysis to figure out the best way treat and store pieces.
Admission is free but registration is required.
The center is part of Macomb Community College and named after former college President Albert Lorenzo.

Movement to integrate science, art education gathering STEAM
Artists approach problem solving differently than scientists do,” said LaFayette, who heads the Network for Sciences, Engineering, Arts and Design on behalf of the National Science Foundation. “While we are all creative, scientists bring specific knowledge and consistent approaches to solving problems. Artists, on the other hand, understand how to engage people in an issue and attempt to solve problems in ways that scientists and engineers might not think about. What can result when scientists and artists collaborate," she said, "is an innovative solution that combines these approaches.”

http://www.stanforddaily.com/2013/09/17/new-frosh-programs-bring-ar...
As the class of 2017 arrived at Stanford on Tuesday, 88 of its members moved into Burbank house in Stern Hall to take part in two new integrated learning environments for the upcoming academic year: ITALIC and SIMILE.The newly established programs center on a yearlong, residence-based learning experience similar to the existing Structured Liberal Education program (SLE) but with an emphasis on different subjects. Immersion in the Arts: Living in Culture (ITALIC) will focus on the arts, while Science in the Making: Integrated Learning Environment (SIMILE) will have curriculum based on the history of science.
Both programs, which were very popular among incoming freshmen, are intended to give students an opportunity to look at traditional subjects in fresh ways.
“We’re pretty excited about them and excited about the fact that they offer freshmen an alternative that might be right for them in terms of fulfilling requirements,” said Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education Harry Elam.
