“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.”

Bryan Ohno Gallery is opening its NEW Seattle International District art gallery on Thursday, June 6. The gallery, located at 521 S. Main Street, will feature contemporary art that blurs the line between art and science, challenges art traditions, and embraces cultural intersections.

The first artist to be featured in the gallery will be Adrianne Smits, a Yale-educated painter biologist who has just recently returned from fieldwork in Cambodia.

Prior to the NEW gallery, Bryan Ohno directed the Bryan Ohno Gallery originally in Pioneer Square and the C2 Gallery in Tokyo, Japan. (end)

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on June 4, 2013 at 8:11am: CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: SCIENCE INSPIRES ART: THE COSMOS
Ever since early humans looked up in wonder at the sun, moon, and stars, we've been on a quest to decipher the mysteries of our cosmos. The vastness and unreachability of the "unknown" captivates the imaginations of scientists and artists alike. Art & Science Collaborations is also on a mission of discovery: they are seeking original art [executed in any media and documented via stunning images] related to astronomy (including astrophysics, astrochemistry, astrobiology, astrogeology), questions of cosmology, extra-terrestrials, or the nature of matter and/or time in relation to universal laws for an art-science juried exhibition to be held at the New York Hall of Science from 31 August 2013 to 2 March 2014. Deadline for submissions: 21 July 2013.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on June 4, 2013 at 8:11am: CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: ART, CREATIVITY, CULTURE AND ARTIFICIAL LIFE
This unique special issue of the journal Artificial Life (MIT Press) connects the themes and methods of Artificial Life with the wider areas of art and creativity and the field's implications for culture. It is an unusual but exciting step for a scientific journal to support a special issue on art and creativity. This certainly sits well with Artificial Life's interdisciplinary approach and provides a unique opportunity to draw together works that sit between the formally established disciplines. The intention is for the special issue to be of broad and long-lasting appeal, not only for regular readers of the Artificial Life journal, but for readers engaging with other sciences, and with the arts and humanities. Deadline for proposals: 1 August 2013

4TH ARTS, HUMANITIES AND COMPLEX NETWORKS SYMPOSIUM: 4 JUNE 2013

The fourth Leonardo satellite symposium at NetSci2013 on Arts, Humanities, and Complex Networks takes place 4 June 2013 at DTU in Copenhagen. The symposium highlights arts and humanities as interesting sources of data, where the combined experience of arts, humanities research and natural science helps overcome the limitations of artificially segregated communities of practice. Furthermore, the symposium focuses on striking examples where artists and humanities researchers make an impact within the natural sciences. By bringing together network scientists and specialists from the arts and humanities, the symposium aims for a better understanding of networks and their visualizations in general. Running parallel to the NetSci2013 conference, the symposium also provides a unique opportunity to mingle with leading researchers and practitioners of complex network science, potentially sparking fruitful collaborations.
