“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.”

Phone Bacteria 'Art' Created By British Students Cannot Be Unseen
But now some students in Britain have gone ahead and made bioart out of the most covert, disgusting, disturbing thing out there: bacterial growth on cell phones.

Intersection of science and art at MSU

“The Einstein Project” helps kick off the President’s Fine Arts Series at Montana State University. The series is focusing on the intersection of science and art this year and includes “Celebrating Einstein,” a free public celebration and an international scientific workshop April 2 to 7 to celebrate the centennial of Einstein’s theory of General Relativity. For a full listing of events centered on the theme: “Art of Science - Science of Art,” visit www.montana.edu/caa/pfas/ or www.einstein.montana.edu.
'The Einstein Project' makes science into art
“The Einstein Project” runs Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays through March 2, at 7:30 p.m. at the Black Box Theater on the MSU campus.

Spencer Mirabal stands in the center of a black hole constructed as a stage in Montana State University’s Black Box Theater. He clasps his hands together in a manner he said is typical of Albert Einstein while waxing eloquent about theoretical physics.

Mirabal portrays Einstein in the MSU School of Film and Photography production of “The Einstein Project,” a role for which he studied the physicist’s movements and speech patterns. He does not, however, sport Einstein’s signature gray mane.

“It’s not about the caricature of Einstein,” Watson said. “It’s about the history.”

It follows the physicist through the years leading up to the atomic age and dealing with the moral issues surrounding his work.

“This play deals with what fascinates me about Einstein,” director Tom Watson said. “Apparently he’s the type of guy who wouldn’t sit down with pen and paper and work out an equation. He would visualize it.”

This concept is played out near the beginning of the production as Einstein explains that his lab is on his sail boat and his equipment is a violin.

Einstein’s support of artistic endeavors is both well-known and well-documented.

“The greatest scientists are artists as well,” he once said.

This concept is the basis of this year’s President’s Fine Arts Series, which explores the connection between science and art, exploring both in a series of lectures, exhibits and culminating in “Celebrating Einstein,” a free public celebration and an international scientific workshop.

Preview: Wonder: Art and Science on the Brain at The Barbican
And despite very readable tomes by the likes of VS Ramachandaran, the study of the brain has yet to make the leap from research activity to recreational pastime for the general public.

However Wonder: Art and Science on the Brain, a groundbreaking festival from the Barbican alongside the British Neuroscience Association (BNA) and the Wellcome Trust, attempts to bridge this gap and help people get to grips with the mysteries and mechanics of the human mind.

The full programme runs throughout March and April and features the likes of comedian Ruby Wax discussing her depression and mathematician Marcus du Sautoy and DJ James Holden exploring consciousness through an audiovisual display.

But the opening weekender, which takes place on March 2 and 3, is a free taster featuring a series of creative events for anyone interested in delving into the grey matter. Highlights include a the Big Brain Flash – a public dance choreographed to look like a brain wave – and workshops to dissect jelly brains to find out what’s inside, and eat the remains.

Jenny Mollica, part of the creative learning team at the Barbican in Silk Street who helped produce the festival, says: “It’s a first for the Barbican to combine arts and science together like this,” she said.

Conference

“It all started about a year ago when the BNA asked to hold their annual conference here in April.

“We realised we would have all these amazing cutting edge scientists talking about the advanced aspects of neuroscience, but behind closed doors.

“We wanted to work out how can we bring this to the public and from there it grew from there into this big arts and science festival. The real focus is about allowing the public to find out more about neuroscience through art. We’ve tried to make it really accessible and lively.”

Other attractions include a singing hypnotist’s tent, housing a series of mesmeric acts, and a room that plays the sound of the brain working amplified thousands of times to make it audible to the human ear.
“It’s been interesting with scientists as well. It’s often said that artist are always asking questions, while scientists demand answers. I think it’s true, and it makes for a really good marriage.”

Researcher fuses science and art

(Agapakis) is so good at communicating science to people in a way that is really fun and interesting”

Agapakis ' next project will be to teach arts and design to science students, and biology to design students. By teaching design students biology, she hopes to see how they utilize this scientific aspect in their designing.

The Fourth Dimension And Non-Euclidean Geometry In Modern Art, by Linda Dalrymple Henderson
In this groundbreaking study, first published in 1983 and unavailable for over a decade, Linda Dalrymple Henderson demonstrates that two concepts of space beyond immediate perception?the curved spaces of non-Euclidean geometry and, most important, a higher, fourth dimension of space?were central to the development of modern art.
