“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.”

Crafting Life: Materiality, Science and Technology symposium

Crafting Life is a symposium accompanying the opening of the exhibition Transformism at the John Hansard Gallery, enabling an exploration of some of the ideas suggested by the artists’ works and exploring how crafted life forms create an interplay between art, design, science and technology.

Symposium 2-4pm, Saturday 26 January 2013

Transformism

John Hansard Gallery, University of Southampton, Southampton SO17 1BJ (map)
Opening event 12-2pm, Saturday 26 January 2013 - all welcome

Transformism, an exhibition of new commissions by two artists, Melanie Jackson and Revital Cohen, opens at the John Hansard Gallery on 22 January 2013. Both artists, through their distinctive practices, have made new works exploring their interests in how cultural archetypes and ideas interweave with science and technology to create new shapes, visual forms and structures.

Artists employ similar processes of repeated patterns to investigate infinite outcomes.

SANTA MONICA, CA.- ARENA 1 Gallery will present Infinity +1, part 1, which will open on January 12 and run through February 9, 2013. Mitra Fabian, Debra Greene, Robert Strati and Casey Reas create works that flirt with the idea that infinity can be made tangible. Using tools of science like computer software or invented rules that are based on science but are in fact fake, these artists employ similar processes of repeated patterns to investigate infinite outcomes. Curator Christine Duval envisions this as the first of a series that will explore various aspects of infinity. Mitra Fabian works with atypical materials like glass vials, plastic films, tape of all sorts, various office and scientific products. As she builds with these materials she deconstructs and alters them in such a way that they are not immediately recognizable. This “reconstruction” is determined by what the material is capable of doing, not meant to do. Armed with a compulsion to repeat a motion, Fabian subjects the medium to folding, curling or creasing. The new physical form is always more organic, often referencing topography, crystalline structures or biological growth. “Into the Deep” is over one mile of black tape that Fabian painstakingly folded like a fan and then let sprawl onto the floor like a giant spill of crude oil. As abstract as her work seems at first, it serves as a commentary on the increasingly modified condition of humans and their environment, blurring the lines between organic and manufactured, and more often between beautiful and disturbing. She has been exhibiting nationally and internationally since 1997 and her work has been featured at the Museum of Contemporary Craft, the Laguna Art Museum, and the Armory Center for the Arts. She currently teaches sculpture at Sacramento City College, Sacramento.

Freyberger Gallery exhibition explores synergy between art and science

The Penn State Berks Freyberger Gallery will present Art and Science, an exhibition that explores the responses and reactions of artists, through their work, to the research and scholarly interests within the Penn State Berks science division.

The exhibit runs from Jan. 10 to Feb. 22, with an opening reception on Thursday, Jan. 10, at 6 p.m. The reception is free and open to the public, and light refreshments will be served.

In the exhibition, artists interpret scientific information aesthetically, using the scientific information as a point of departure for their creative endeavors. Viewers will observe art that illuminates, defines, and interprets the data and information gathered by the college’s science faculty members, making it more accessible for some and more intriguing for others.

While the faculty’s research has provided important and useful information on such topics as mathematics, horticulture, biology, chemistry, and physics — just to name a few — the artists featured in this exhibition have used these discoveries to create other exciting new realities through their work.

“There are so many beautiful things in science that the general public is not aware of. I think of my role as more of an educator, to present science as an art form.”
