“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.”

ward for bio-art proposal together with AMOLF
Category: News, Theory of Biomolecular Matter, Systems Biology
December 14, 2012

On December 6, 2012, one of the three Designers & Artists 4 Genomics Awards (DA4GA) was granted to a bio-art proposal, Living Mirror, that will be carried out in collaboration with the Systems Biology group of Tom Shimizu and the Theory of Biomolecular Matter group of Bela Mulder.

DA4GA is a unique Dutch contest that brings art, design and life sciences together. Teams of scientists and artists are working with living material in their projects that evoke surprise and questions. Hans Clevers, president of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) handed out the prizes of each 25.000 euro’s.

About the project
Living Mirror by Laura Cinti & Howard Boland, with the FOM Institute AMOLF
A liquid image of magnetic bacteria. That is the Living Mirror: an interactive bio-installation in which cells are combined with electronics and photo manipulation. Individuals are captured and translated in a live, 3D-portrait. This image reintroduces the ‘fleshiness’ absent in digital media. Living Mirror connects the history of the mirror in literature and arts.
When realized the Living Mirror will be exhibited in the Naturalis Biodiversity Center in Leiden.

Creative Partnerships with Asia :: New Australia Council Initiative
Expressions of Interest close 31 January 2013
The Australia Council is offering grants of up to $40,000 to support a small number of two-way creative partnerships between artists working in Australia and Asia. For the purposes of this initiative Asia includes Japan, China, Korea, India, South and South East Asia. This new initiative facilitates creative exchanges and collaborations between Australian and Asian artists in all artforms, including emerging and experimental arts and any hybrid of these contemporary art-forms. With the support of this grant, and additional financial and in-kind support, each project must be a collaboration between artists in both countries, and achieve two or more of the following outcomes:
- Presentation of completed works supported by this initiative in both countries or the presentation of existing new contemporary work that has not yet been presented in both countries;
- Presentation of final development showings to potential presenting partners in both countries;
- Delivery of workshops for the purpose of artistic exchange, and development of networks in both countries.
A presentation can be a publication of new writing, a season of live performance, a visual art exhibition, or the release of a set of recordings.

Making art out of Mt Everest litter

Nona Walia, TNN Dec 16, 2012, 12.55PM IST

Kripa Rana Shahi tells Nona Walia why she — along with 15 artists — took up a project to turn garbage strewn over the world's highest mountain into a visual delight.

It took Kripa Rana Shahi and her artist friends almost a month to transform heaps of rubbish on Mount Everest into works of art. The result is a visual delight with 74 sculptures, including one of a yak, wind chimes made out of gas canisters, food cans, torn tents, boots, plates, plastic bags — all dumped by climbers en route to the world's highest peak. Shahi, who's the director of this project, explains her reason for this venture, "I am not an artist per se. I'm a development practitioner, and my passion towards art led me to take up this initiative. Everest is our crown jewel and we need to keep it clean." For more information , click on the link.

Science, Arts and Crafts Exhibition in Visakhapatnam school

The fourth-edition of mega Science, Arts and Crafts Exhibition at Priyanka’s Vidyodaya High School, drew a huge crowd here, on Sunday.

As many as 2,200 exhibits were displayed by 1,800 students from nursery to Class X with each class working on a different theme. Nursery children displayed paintings of fruits, vegetables, animals and birds. ‘Charminar’, ‘Victoria Memorial’, ‘Church’, ‘Gurudwara’, ‘railway station’, ‘cricket stadium’, ‘India Gate’, ‘Taj Mahal’ and ‘Red Fort’ were a few exhibits worked upon by Class I students.

‘Geo-thermal energy’, ‘water cycle’, ‘global warming’, ‘urban occupation’, ‘types of pollution’, ‘history of early man’, ‘satellite communication’, ‘structure of the earth’ and many more formed part of the exhibition.

It was not just students who had put up their exhibits, even teachers involved themselves with interesting themes like ‘solar system’, ‘Indira Gandhi Zoological Park’, ‘different forms of terrace’, ‘early man civilization’ and deities made with chalk and pencil nibs, among others.
