“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.”

Why we need arts along with sciences:
http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/aug/18/willetts-unive...
We do not live in a world where science and art stare at each other across an unbridgeable divide. We are fortunate to have an extraordinarily broad research base in which different disciplines spark off each other. None of the complex challenges we face today – climate change, an ageing population, terrorism – will be solved by one subject alone. It is not just a matter of designing a low-carbon vehicle – you have to understand what makes people choose to drive it, or not. As soon as you are dealing with human behaviour you need the humanities. And above all, the arts and humanities are worthwhile in their own right. We should never lose the study of subjects such as medieval philosophy or ancient languages from our universities, because they enrich our understanding.
Shaping a logical argument and then defending it when your essay is dismantled during class; resolving problems creatively; and writing, thinking and communicating clearly. All are infinitely transferable accomplishments, whether or not you think Socrates has any bearing in the boardroom.
And as we try to reach out to the rest of the world, the humanities have a great role to play. Without experts in anthropology, language, politics, philosophy or history would we truly understand other cultures? It is no coincidence that it was an English philosopher, economist and jurist, Jeremy Bentham, who coined the word "international". This means we need to keep a close eye on numbers studying modern languages in particular – one area in which Ucas applications were down. Thanks to the EBacc, language learning at GCSE is now at its highest level for nine years. We must now wait for this to filter through to universities. And that is why the Higher Education Funding Council for England is working with institutions on safeguarding modern language provision across the country.I do not believe in a crude model in which studying Stem subjects is good while studying arts and humanities or social sciences is some unaffordable luxury. What really matters is the rigour and depth of your university study. For hundreds of thousands of students that is an incredible experience they can now look forward to.

Making Light of It – Herschel explores art and Science of Light in Eighteenth Century
Exhibition preview: Making Light of It – The art and Science of Light in the Eighteenth Century, Herschel Museum of Astronomy, Bath, until December 16 2013
While busily polishing mirrors for his reflecting telescopes more than 200 years ago, William Herschel saw sunlight playing on a prism.This apparently everyday glimpse of science in action ultimately led the astronomer to discover infrared. And taking 18th century domestic lighting as a starting point – particularly in modest townhouses such as the New King Street one Herschel called home – art historian James Hamilton looks at how light-based scientific discoveries influenced the artists of the period.
Rush lights, tallows, crystal chandeliers and even the ruinously expensive beeswax lit Georgian homes. The lights on display in the museum, including ones made by local craftsmen and artists, also become exhibits.

THE ART OF SCIENCE: REMARKABLE NATURAL HISTORY ILLUSTRATIONS FROM MUSEUM VICTORIA
By John Kean
Museum VictoriaThis beautiful book opens with 17th- and 18th-century illustrations from the early days of modern natural history, some of which, like the seven-headed hydra, point back to the fabulous bestiaries of earlier times; other work from overseas includes prints from Audubon's The Birds of America, and one from Edward Lear: a magnificent eagle owl, sans pussycat.
Most illustrations, however, are from Australian artists. John Gould is here, as well as Baldwin Spencer and Neville Cayley, whose son, also Neville, went on to produce What Bird Is That? Some of the images speak directly to the child within: there's a poster from the late 19th century depicting insectivorous birds of Victoria, the forebear of the posters seen in schools ever since, and a section from comic-book artist Vernon Hayles' mural of prehistoric animals that used to be the first thing you saw in the old museum.
AdvertisementPhotography has encroached on the documentary functions of scientific art, and magnified insect heads are duly included, along with butterfly eggs. But painters such as Peter Trusler and Frank Knight are still needed to imagine extinct species, and the book is well rounded out with pieces from artists such as Kate Nolan and Rhyll Plant, who invoke the illustrative tradition but use it for more personalised work.

Think Tank, EcoTarium team for fall classes
This September, small groups of children, most of them middle-school age and home-schooled, will begin learning in a different kind of classroom.Their new classroom will blend art and science in a rare way and take advantage of one of Worcester's gems, long noted for education: the EcoTarium, on Harrington Way.
Art Biology, CSI Wild Worcester, Art/Space Exploration and Applied Digital Photography are being offered for 10 to 12 weeks to students 9 to 12 (digital photography is offered to older students and adults from the community).
The courses will also take advantage of the significant resources of the EcoTarium, not your usual schoolroom advantages: a planetarium, a living wildlife collection and a building full of science and nature exhibits are the stuff that's usually only offered on a one-off class trip.

GENSPACE: THE MACHINE BODY
Genspace, New York City?s Community Biolab, will be hosting The Machine Body, a talk by bio-artist duo Revital Cohen and Tuur Van Balen on Monday, 19 August 2013. Cohen and Van Balen run a London-based experimental practice that produces objects, photographs, performances and videos exploring the tensions between biology and technology. Inspired by designer species, composed wilderness and mechanical organs, they set out to create posthuman bodies, bespoke metabolisms, unnatural animals and poetic machines. In their presentation, the artists will give an overview of their recent work, exploring tensions between biology and technology at various scales.

Rutgers University commissions physicist turned sculptorSculptor Julian Voss-Andreae has been commissioned by Rutgers University to create an original sculpture to celebrate its new Center for Integrative Proteomics Research (CIPR) and to honor its founding director, Dr. Helen M. Berman. Rutgers, one of the top research universities in North America, is a world leader in bio-medical research. Voss-Andreae’s 20-foot, 3,200-pound polished stainless steel and colored glass sculpture, ‘Synergy,’ is based on the collagen molecule. The monument will be formally unveiled at Rutgers in late September, coinciding with a symposium honoring the career and contributions of Dr. Berman. Collagen, the most abundant protein in humans, provides structure to the body by forming long molecular ropes that strengthen the tendons and vast, resilient sheets that support the skin and internal organs. Collagen also serves as pathway for cellular movement during development and growth. Explains Dr. Kenneth J. Breslauer, Dean, Division of Life Sciences, and Vice President, Health Science Partnerships, “Dr. Berman determined the first high-resolution, three-dimensional atomic structure of the collagen molecule.” He adds, “Rutgers has a long history in protein and collagen research. Today, the university houses the largest public domain repository of 3D structures of proteins, the Protein Data Bank (PDB). This unique global resource enables biomedical research throughout the world.” Voss-Andreae has been using the structural data provided by Protein Data Bank since creating his first protein sculpture in 2001. No stranger to molecular biology, Voss-Andreae, himself, is a scientist—turned sculptor. Voss-Andreae studied physics, mathematics and philosophy at the Universities of Berlin, Edinburgh and Vienna, pursuing his graduate research in quantum physics. The sculptor began as a painter, then changed course to move into science.." Voss-Andreae’s subject matter is not limited to the scientific world, yet his background in science has clearly been an influence. In very different work, the sculptor has focused on such time-honored themes as the human figure—with a modern twist. He created ‘Quantum Man' (2007), an audience's favorite at the Maryhill Museum of Art in Goldendale, Washington. The stylized human walker almost disappears when the viewer moves past the sculpture fashioned from parallel slices of thin steel. Julian Voss-Andreae is a German sculptor based in Portland, Oregon. Starting out as a painter he later changed course and studied physics, mathematics, and philosophy at the Universities of Berlin, Edinburgh and Vienna. Voss-Andreae pursued his graduate research in quantum physics, participating in a seminal experiment considered one of the modern milestones of unifying our everyday intuition with the famously bizarre world of quantum physics. He moved to the United States to study Sculpture at the Pacific Northwest College of Art from where he graduated in 2004. Voss-Andreae’s work has quickly gained critical attention. His sculpture, often inspired by his background in science, has captured the attention of multiple institutions and collectors in the U.S. and abroad. Recent institutional commissions include large-scale outdoor monuments for the University of Minnesota and Rutgers University (New Jersey). Voss-Andreae's work has been featured in print and broadcast media worldwide.

Local artist Sharon Rajnus is the artist of the month in Favell Museum throughout August, according to a news release.
Rajnus was an artist before learning to fly in the 1970s and credits her training in science, biology and art as the foundation for current work.
With a family history, which includes engineering at Lockheed during World War II, aviation has been a foundation as well. Flying experiences with her husband in Canada and Alaska led to interest in using those places as locations for paintings. These are created in oil or watercolor for galleries, exhibitions, commissions and illustrations.
Her recent book “Stars of the Sky,” with Ann Cooper as the author, includes Rajnus’ illustrations of 50 Women in Aviation through the ages. Her artwork can be seen in many collections, including EAA, National Museum of Naval Aviation, NOAA and the National Park Service.
The museum is at 125 W. Main St. and admission to the art gallery part of the museum is free. Museum hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
