“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.”

Art and science may seem an unlikely partnership. Judith Ritchie visits an exhibition where the two meet and get along famously.

Often the realms of art and science are perceived as being worlds apart. Artists the airy fairy undisciplined types, scientists the boring academics, totally immersed in research and formulas.

The distinctions need not go on, because the Nelson Provincial Museum is giving us a rare glimpse of a world where art and science co-exist successfully.

The Art of Science is an extensive collection of portrait paintings of nationally acclaimed scientists brought together by the Royal Society of New Zealand in partnership with the New Zealand Portrait Gallery.

Experimental Art
An unlikely collaboration draws on the neuroscience of perception.
This mash up of artistic and scientific methods is equally the brainchild of Trish Mackenzie, a Ph.D. student in neuroscience at NYU. Mackenzie studies perception with a focus on hearing and vision. She’s the type of person who will talk about brain plasticity, the ability of the brain to change over time, as if it were a music subgenre.

Blinded by Science to open at Worcester Center for Crafts

linded by Science, an exhibit of work by five regional artists all of whom are inspired by science, opens at the Krikorian Gallery of the Worcester Center for Crafts, 25 Sagamore Road, on Thursday, August 1 during the Craft Center’s annual extravaganza, HOT NIGHT IN THE CITY. Blinded by Science will be on view through September 14, 2013. Artists represented in the show include Carrie Crane, Linda Huey of Boston/New York State, Deanna Leamon of Worcester, Michelle Lougee of Cambridge, and Guhapriya Ranganthan of Wayland. The exhibit is being organized by guest curator Carrie Crane and emerges from Carrie and the Craft Center’s interest in the intersection of art and science. Carrie, a recipient of a 2012 Worcester Arts Council grant, was artist in residence in Arshad Kudrolli’s Materials Physics Lab at Clark University for the past year collaborating with researchers, developing a body of work, and sharing her creative process. The Craft Center’s disciplines of glass, metals, photography, and ceramics all engage science properties in their processes. “There is a lot of interest in this area of cross-disciplinary collaboration, involving visual, performing and literary arts and a wide range of scientific research. I am a strong believer that both the researcher and the artist can benefit from collaboration, the scientist providing the artist with a rich palette of knowledge to feed their imagination and the artist providing the scientist insight into a creative process that may feed their research,“ said Carrie, “I wanted to bring more exposure in Worcester to this art/science movement.” The work resulting from her time spent in the Clark University Physics Lab will be on view in the exhibit and explores the patterns created by the packing of spherical shapes.
