“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.”

Science-art schools to be built in 2 cities

By Yun Suh-young

Incheon and Sejong City will see new types of high schools for gifted students to allow them to receive cross-disciplinary education in science and the arts, the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology said.

The new “Science and Arts School for the Gifted” will be established in the two cities in the next three to four years, according to the ministry.

The ministry said it will allow the new schools to educate talented students who both have scientific creativity and artistic sensibilities.

The school will be the first to converge the two fields of study. It will run a separate curriculum from other specialized schools.

The curriculum will be called STEAM, which stands for science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics. The goal of the school is to provide science and technology education as well as arts and liberal arts studies.

It will include intensive education in the history of science civilization, engineering and communication. The rest of the curriculum will be similar to other science schools.

The opening date will be March 2015 for Sejong, the new administrative town in South Chungcheong Province, and March 2016 for Incheon, west of Seoul.

The student quota for Incheon is 75 for each grade and 84 for Sejong. Instead of running like regular high schools where students can graduate if they finish all three years, the new schools will allow students to graduate once they have acquired sufficient credits.

The details of student selection, guidance plans and curriculum are still under discussion, according to a ministry official.

'Retired' scientists unmask bush graffiti artist

In a remarkable piece of detective work, a team of ‘retired’ CSIRO scientists have revealed the group of artists responsible for the iconic scribbles found on smooth-barked Eucalyptus trees in southeastern Australia.

Previously thought to be the work of a single species called the Australian Scribbly Gum Moth, the scientists have uncovered at least eleven new species of moths responsible for the iconic bush graffiti.

‘Although many Australians will be familiar with the distinctive scribbles on gum trees, very little was known until now about the artists that create them,’ said Dr Marianne Horak, a retired moth expert working in an honorary capacity at CSIRO’s Australian National Insect Collection.

‘Discovering that there are at least twelve species of moths behind the scribbles was certainly an exciting find. We also found these moths have a link with the ancient supercontinent Gondwana.’

The scientists revealed that the relationship between the scribbly gum moths and their eucalypt hosts is a unique ecological interaction. The moths bore a tunnel through an under layer of the eucalypt bark in their larval stage, looping and moving back and forth along their tracks at different stages of their caterpillar life cycle to create the distinctive scribbles.

‘In an attempt to replace the missing tissue, the trees refill the tunnels with highly nutritious, thin-walled cells,’ said Dr Horak.

‘This is ideal food for the caterpillars, so they turn around and eat their way back along the way they’ve come, growing rapidly to maturity, before they leave the tree to spin a cocoon and turn into a moth. Not long after the caterpillars leave the tree, the bark cracks off, revealing the scribbles below.’

The formidable collaboration of scientific heavy-hitters Marianne Horak, Ted Edwards AM and 96 year old Max Day AO teamed up with botanist Celia Barlow—all Honorary Fellows at the CSIRO—in conducting detailed field and laboratory studies to determine the biology and life cycle of the moths. Other collaborators performed DNA analysis and microscopic studies to help confirm their findings and pinpoint these enigmatic moth species’ place within the Insect world.

‘This is a wonderful example of the passion our scientists have for their work, whether retired or not,’ said Dr Joanne Daly, CSIRO Strategic Advisor working with CSIRO’s collections.

‘This research highlights that we still have so much to learn about Australian fauna and flora, even those species we see every day.’

Science plays to art in staging of ‘Yoshimi’

‘The Art in Science — The Science in Art’ was a partnership of the Playhouse, The Salk Institute, Sanford- Burnham Medical Research Institute, The Scripps Research Institute, and UCSD Medical Center.
■ Panel moderator was Daniel Einhorn, medical director, Scripps Whittier Diabetes Institute.
■ The conversation was filmed for viewing at http://bit.ly/QRHGHY

This month the La Jolla Playhouse presents the world premiere of the musical “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots.” It also heralds one of the most technically complex and challenging productions in the Playhouse’s history, featuring dancers in glowing LED costumes, extensive multimedia projections, and a 14-foot robot puppet. Add to this, consultation with biotech and medical experts in order to craft the story about a woman in a love triangle facing a life-threatening illness.

This intersection of technology and creativity prompted the Playhouse to invite the public to take part in a conversation with scientists and theater artists about “The Art in Science — The Science in Art.” The discussion took place Nov. 11 at the Mandell Weiss Forum. Attendance was standing room only.
