“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.”

Colonization
Colonization was an experiment with using an uncolored marker “blender” to force soft colors to bleed into each other in geometric patterns.The patterns of circles and rings are reminiscent of petri dishes and microbial growth experiments gone a bit amok. It was inspired by my first laboratory job, at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratories, when I was high School senior. Our group was sequencing some of the viral plasmids and vectors that are now widely used in Biotechnology and genetic engineering.
Much of Microbiology involves using the growth properties of microorganisms to amplify something happening on the molecular level. For example, small somewhat randomized changes are made to a plasmid’s genes. The plasmids are then inserted into a population of host bacteria, at a dilution that ensures that multiple insertions are rare. The bacteria are diluted so that each one is far apart in solution. When they’re dropped onto a petri dish, each individual bacterium is a few mm to a few cm away from the next. Each separated bacterium grows mitotically into colonies of millions of bacteria, identical to the original bacterium that started the colony. Each colony can be tested, selected, and grown further.
Equal growth in all directions on flat, fairly uniform Agar medium creates circular colony patterns. If there are liquid resources diffusing through the medium (in a natural environment rather than a dish) then rings will form as resources are periodically depleted by too fast colony growth.
The microbe growth pattern idea is emphasized with a counterpoint of fine line drawings echoing the larger softer marker patterns.
The original was created using Prismacolor art marker and Pigma “micron” pigment ink ultrafine felt tip pen on acid free paper.

“Time Pools: Accessing the Aquifer” is a collaborative exhibition between Jason Miller’s digital art class and the League of Imaginary Scientists, a group of artists that blurs the line between art and science.
Miller, who is also the AMUM’s media specialist, volunteered his digital art class when he found out the League of Imaginary Scientists was coming to Memphis.
Scientists way of thinking was different from ours (artists); they thought on a scientific level when thinking about how to present and through what mediums, which was a counterpoint for artistic way of thinking as a class and helped to balance it out.”
The main feature of the exhibit is an enormous “cloud,” suspended from the ceiling. This cloud is much more high-tech than any old cumulus, though.

From SEAD Digest:
Call for Participation
*Melliferopolis Workshop:*
*Understanding the Essence of Flowers - Exploring Pollen*
June 12th to 14th 2013, from 09:00 to 17:00
(more detailed program will be published later)
Harakka Island, Helsinki, FinlandThere is an intrinsic link between bees and flowers. In evolution they
arose at the same time, bees feeding on nectar and pollen; the flowers
relying on the pollinators for reproduction. Bees visiting flowers
and harvesting their essence is a choreography that nature performs each
year. In these encounters, the flowers disclose their secret to the
bees, who take it home in the form of scent and taste.In this three-day workshop, we explore the environment of the
Melliferopolis bees living on Harakka Island, in front of Helsinki, Finland.
First, we concentrate on the scientific aspects of the bees' surrounding
in the chemistry laboratory built on the island in 1929 for military
purposes.In a second part, we focus on the poetic aspects of plants and
pollinators, their relation and communication with each other. Inspired
by these dynamics, we engage with the visual aspects of pollen,
inviting drawing, painting and collage to reveal stories and metaphores
behind this natural phenomenon of pollination.*To participate in the workshop no preliminary knowledge is necessary.
Please write a short statement of motivation/intention (200 words)
before the 20th of May and send it to: ulla.taipale@aalto.fi
A maximum of 15 workshop participants will be accepted, 10 places are
reserved for students of Aalto University and 5 for other interested
people.*The workshop is part of Aalto Biofilia ?Base for Biological Arts program
and takes place in collaboration with Harakka Luontotalo of Helsinki
Environmental Centre.
It is guided by Christina Stadlbauer (beekeeper, artist, chemist), Asta
Ekman (chemist, responsable of the Harakka environmental laboratory) and
Lina Kusaite (illustrator, artist).*The workshop is part of Melliferopolis ?Honeybees in Urban
Environments, a research project by Christina Stadlbauer at Aalto
Biofilia, initiated in 2011. *Melliferopolis is supported by Biofilia at Aalto University, Kone
Foundation, Finnish Cultural Foundation, Helsinki Environmental Centre
and Luontotalo Harakka and Helsinki City Cultural Centre.

Art and Science: The Absolute Protagonists Of The Chianti Star Festival
From 29 June to 11 August international artists, researchers and scientists will come together in San Donato in Poggio (Tuscany), one of the most beautiful backdrops in the world
The theme of the dissemination of scientific culture will be addressed, thanks to the participation of professors and researchers from OpenLab, the communication structure of the University of Florence. These are just some examples of these collateral events: Professor Roberto Casalbuoni will talk about the symmetries and the art of Escher, Professor Luigi Dei will explain scientifically Ravel's Bolero, Professor Alberto Righini will reveal the secrets of stars, Galileo and wine. The artists will also be present in the first week of the Festival to meet the public and disclose important aspects of the role of the artist: when the artist is called upon to interpret the infinitely small so as to provide the scientist with a representation of what the human eye cannot see; when their works are influenced by the evolution of science and technology; when their art can improve the lives of hospital patients. This latter aspect will also be discussed by Professor Donatella Lippi, Director of the Centre for Medical Humanities, Faculty of Medicine and Surgery, University of Florence, who, beginning with the work by Picasso Ciencia y Caridad will address the theme of science and art in medicine. Elaine Poggi will present the project Healing Photo Art; her role to take works that have been donated by important photographers from all over the world to hospitals in various countries. Some artists will share their experiences of having been commissioned to create an artwork specifically for care homes or hospitals with the public.In short, a calendar full of events and initiatives, available at http://www.chiantistarfestival.com,

Science Communication’s Image Problem
People want art because of the artist, moreso than ever. How many people felt they had some personal connection with Picasso, with O’Keefe?
