“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," viewing through Feb. 22 at the Freyberger Gallery of Penn State Berks, pursues an ages-old interrelationship by asking artists to interpret the teachings of Penn State instructors from the Berks Campus science division. The artists were required to watch a video of the teachers in action and derive their own aesthetic ideas from what they saw.The manner in which each of these was done is, of course, germane to the artist's own method of working and filtered through those methods.
The complication that arose here is whether one or the other takes precedence, being that one would have either scientific art or artistic science.
After looking at the display, one finds certain artworks as adequately done while approaching their topic, but acting more as illustrations than taking science to heart.

an ongoing project which seeks to use photosynthetic and phototactic (move in response to light) microorganisms in natural waters to make images and text. With appropriate illumination and masking this should be possible using differential exposure of the organisms to light, since they will organise themselves in response to this. This is a time-lapse of the enrichment process. The organisms are too dilute in the original samples to make images, so I enrich the water by shining light onto it, and when the microorganisms have moved towards the light I can decant the water that is enriched with photosynthetic and phototactic life. This process itself is intriguing as the organisms can be seen to respond and move in relation to the illumination, and form complex patterns as they do so

Body Art Meets Science
Where else could you bring a decidedly hipster vibe to a five-day biosciences festival? Part of the larger Brilliant!Science: Decoding Human Health festivities, Friday's California Academy of Sciences program "Body Art: An Evening Science Mingle" looks at the body as creative canvas. See complex muscle systems displayed as body paint on roaming models, and see up-close scientific images of neurons and viruses.
In partnership with the Gladstone Institutes, a leading bio-med research organization, the festival brings together some of the Bay Area’s most brilliant scientists to talk about pioneering research in human health—from cutting-edge stem cell research to the ongoing fight against HIV/AIDS.

Fusion of sci and art
triple threat, Simonne Jones, singer, artist and scientist is doing an artists residency at the PLATOON ARTIST LAB in Berlin. she is creating interactive and motion-detecting LED paintings. below you can read a report written by Simonne:"science and art are inseparable. scientists and artists both attempt to transform our reality in ways that we can understand. neither are content with what exists overtly in nature. they want to dive deep into the secrets of the universe. as a scientist and artist i am passionate about creating work that catalyzes a curiosity to explore a limitless universe.
a pattern that emerges in both my artwork and music is the intensity of human spirit and the drive and explore the unknown. creation is my attempt to discover the otherworldly and along the way collect a cabinet of curiosities. my music is scientific in its approach. for example, music is about organizing and finding patterns within the sounds and vibrations in the universe. my work reflects the assumption that there is more to our environment that what we can see, and that our perception is not a reliable truth.
i love to work with LEDs because I am reminded that science, technology and art are inseparable. i often begin a piece by identifying a phenomena I would like to understand, similar to how a scientist forms a hypothesis. when i worked in a genetics laboratory studying the structures involved in HIV replication, i realized the common ground in artistic and scientific thinking processes.
while a resident artist at PLATOON KUNSTHALLE Berlin I am creating works that integrate my interests in science and art by combining visual arts, science and technology. i am creating interactive, motion-detecting, LED paintings. each painting represents scientific patterns in the universe such as the second law of thermodynamics in physics (entropy), quantum mechanics, subatomic particles, nebulas, constellations and dark matter. the works will project constellations in the room around them and together embody their own little universe. they explore the trans-dimensional information regarding curiosity about existence with a scientific context.
when people see my work i would like them to be inspired to stretch the boundaries of what is familiar to them and discover something stimulating. i hope to inspire others to catch a glimpse of the other side of the looking glass; a place that holds the secrets of the universe, in an attempt to catch a glimpse of something beautiful and elusive. consequently, as we look through the looking glass, we see our own reflections and propagate self discovery."

Competition combines art and science
Students from the ISU College of Art and Design braved the cold to meet their next-door neighbors in the ISU-based Biorenewables Research Laboratory
Dubbed the “S’mores Smash-Up,” Robert Mills, communication specialist III of the Bioeconomy Institute, said this event marks the beginning of the Bioeconomy Institute’s 4th Annual Biorenewables Art Competition.
The Smash-Up encourages interaction between artists and researchers.
While enjoying the hot treats, art and design students mixed and mingled with the researchers who presented a display in the Biorenewables Research Laboratory lobby. The display showcased the many different products produced from their work with biorenewable resources and technology, with emphasis on a process that rapidly heats biomass to extreme temperatures in the absence of heat, called fast pyrolysis.
“[The S’mores Smash-Up] is designed so the artists can meet the scientists researching biorenewables and learn more about them, their research, materials and processes,” Mills said. “It’s really the first step in the competition.”
Jill Euken, program director of the Bioeconomy Institute, said the Smash-Up provides an opportunity for the artists to take samples of biomass and biorenewable materials, such as biochar and algae, to incorporate into their art.
Martin Haverly, a graduate research assistant in mechanical engineering, said the Smash-Up helps the public connect and understand the designs and functions of biofuels through the artists' work.
The Biorenewables Art Competition 2013 is open to ISU students enrolled in Integrated Studio Arts/Integrated Visual Arts (ISA/IVA) courses, Mills said. They may partner with any ISU student for the competition.
Students must submit their entries by April 14 in order to be eligible for the final review, whose results are announced on April 22.
