“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.”

The Inspiring Artwork of Paper Engineer Matt Shlian (and How It’s Inspiring Nano-Scientists)
Matt Shlian started school as a ceramicist… but it was only when he realized that he was “interested in everything” that his work really took off. He creates sculptural artworks from flat pieces of paper that show the incredible diversity of the medium while creating beautifully inspiring forms. They are also doing something rather surprising: inspiring scientists.Along with a team at the University of Michigan he won the NSF (National Science Foundation) award on a nano-origami project that combines both art and engineering. In the process (and as he further explains in his
Tedx Talk) he’s using his art to help others understand the flexible nature of nano-structures. It’s not the first thing you think of when it comes to cutting and folding paper.Shlian’s process is an interesting one, and one that other creatives should take note of: he often works within a series of limitations.
“For example on one piece I’ll only use curved folds, or make my lines this length or that angle etc,” he tells Strictly Paper. “Other times I begin with an idea for movement and try to achieve that shape or form somehow. Along the way something usually goes wrong and a mistake becomes more interesting than the original idea and I work with that instead.”
To learn more about this impressive and unconventional artist see his Tedx Talk and video with Ghostly International below, then head to mattshlian.com.

Arts, science and engineering to merge in first-ever Beakerhead
What happens when art and science collide? Calgarians get a new exhibit called Beakerhead that’s guaranteed to blow their minds.It’s the brainchild of two people, one the co-founder and the former host of Daily Planet on the Discovery Channel.
Jay Ingram tells 660News ‘Beakerhead’ is an interactive movement with 70 different contributors.
Their goal is to show creativity through their works of art, spectacle and entertainment in downtown Calgary.
Ingram hopes this exhibit will allow people to look at engineering in a different light.
“People think of engineers as doing fairly important but kind of industrial and not really creative things,” he says. “And I think what Beakerhead will show is that their is a creative side to engineering and we’re going to try to bring it to the streets of Calgary.”

Art with a social conscience
The industrial landscapes of the British painter L S Lowry (1887—1976), populated by his idiosyncratic stick figures, are instantly recognisable. As critic Jessica Stephens wrote in 1928, “The work of Mr L. S. Lowry has qualities that make it very difficult to forget”. Although his art might appear naive, his artistic agenda was socially aware: “My ambition was to put the industrial scene on the map because nobody had done it, nobody had done it seriously.”
Curated by T J Clark and Anne M Wagner, Lowry and the Painting of Modern Life at the Tate Britain transforms our understanding of the artist's oeuvre. His choice of subject matter was sophisticated, influenced by the French modern tradition, from the late 19th century onwards, of painting the reality of life. The exhibition highlights how Lowry always engaged with the appalling social conditions that existed in Salford as a result of poor housing and medical care, which he observed during the 40 years he walked its streets as a rent collector.

Exploring The Last Green Valley: Science became art in hands of prolific Dr. AllardRead more: Exploring The Last Green Valley: Science became art in hands of prolific Dr. Allard - Norwich, CT - The Bulletin http://www.norwichbulletin.com/newsnow/x1868835274/Exploring-The-La...
The Last Green Valley can certainly boast about one such scientist/artist — Dr. Harry Ardell Allard. He was born in Oxford, Mass., in 1880.By all accounts, Allard had an energetic and independent spirit. Just after he graduated from high school in 1899, he ran away, not to join the circus, but to take work on a steamer carrying cattle to England. It was his intention to go from there to South Africa and fight with the Boers against the British. But Britain had instituted travel restrictions to South Africa and poor Harry found himself marooned.

Science art exhibition to be opened in Moscow
Disappearing paintings, a cockroach controlling a robot and pigeon droppings used as a cleaning agent—new works by contemporary Russian and foreign artists that combine science and art will be shown at the “eCONSCIOUSNESS” exhibition in Moscow.
The environmental art exhibition “eCONSCIOUSNESS” is set to be held in Moscow on Sept. 18–22 in the Central House of Artists (CHA). The event is part of the ambitious SCIENCE ART program directed by the Moscow Lomonosov State University and the CHA.Curators want to not only draw public attention to environmental protection issues and promote environmental awareness through art, but also create new ways of interaction between living organisms and their environment.
Biological art expresses artists’ interests in innovative biotechnology, through which living organisms, tissues and cells become mediums of art. Among the installations are also displays that offer specific solutions to environmental problems based on the achievements of modern science.
