“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.”

Nathalie Miebach decides what storms sound like.

This Boston artist spends her studio time turning reams of weather data — wind speeds, barometric readings and rainfall totals — into music and sculptures.

Miebach's work has tracked temperate storms, documented the daily weather of beaches. In one particularly poignant project, she created a musical piece that documented changes in weather during the week following her father-in-law's death. For her work, Miebach was selected as a 2011 TEDGlobal Fellow.

NEWS & EVENTS
Brandon Ballengée - Vertical fall in the Winter call that dances in the spring nocturnal..., 2010/2012 from "A Season in Hell Series, Deadly Born Cry." In scientific collaboration with Stanley K. Sessions
Hartwick’s Sessions Included in Long-Term “SciArt” Exhibit
October 15, 2012

Dr. Stanley K. Sessions, professor of biology at Hartwick College, is currently included in a long-term "Science/Art" collaboration at the Ronald Feldman Fine Arts Gallery in New York, NY.

The project, completed via a partnership between New York City artist Brandon Ballengée and Sessions, can be viewed in the Feldman Gallery from Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and is free to the public. Ballengée and Sessions have worked together on various "SciArt" exhibitions to date and have traveled the world, including London, Berlin Germany, Italy, and the US.

"The purpose of our SciArt collaboration is to create a true melding together of these two disciplines, Science and Art, which are often seen as having little in common, but which actually have much in common," said Sessions. "Both art and science explore frontiers at the edge of knowledge, create new ways of seeing things, and also generate new insight and interest in important issues. We believe that this kind of collaboration helps bridge gaps between disciplines leading to a better and more widespread understanding about the world around us."

One of the major foci of the current work is on declining and deformed amphibians and other animals that have resulted in numerous publications in scientific journals as well as SciArt exhibitions and publications in art journals.

This project is considered a true interdisciplinary interaction, as the collaboration is of interest to both disciplines. Sessions supplies his personal science expertise as well as many of the scientific specimens, and artist Ballengée constructs the art exhibitions.

The Ronald Feldman Fine Arts Gallery is located at 31 Mercer Street, (SoHo), New York City, NY. For more details on long-term collaboration and The Feldman Gallery, visit http://www.feldmangallery.com/pages/home_frame.html.

Media Advisory: Science & Art Cabaret to Present a Night of Stimulating Conversation on Failure

Failure will be the topic of conversation at the Science & Art Cabaret on Wednesday, as area thinkers meet to discuss everything from Einstein's most famous mistake to a nearly botched performance at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery.

The event, titled "Fail," is free and open to the public.

It begins at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 17, at the Ninth Ward at Babeville, 341 Delaware Ave., Buffalo. Guests will enjoy a night of entertaining conversation and a cash bar.

The Buffalo Science & Art Cabaret presents several events a year where members of the public are invited to grab a drink and listen to top university scientists and creative minds talk about their work. The series is organized by the University at Buffalo, Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center and Buffalo Museum of Science, with support from Greatbatch Medical.

Co-founder Will Kinney, a UB associate professor of physics, describes the event as "an entertaining mash-up of cutting-edge science and technology with art, music, poetry and performance."

"Fail" is the 11th cabaret held since 2009. The lineup for the night will include:

- Salvatore Rappoccio, UB assistant professor of physics, on "Error Analysis"

- Gary Nickard, UB clinical associate professor of visual studies, on "Failure at the Albright-Knox" (which will describe how he dealt with unforeseen problems during a piano destruction performance)

- Scott Watson, assistant professor of physics at Syracuse University, on "Einstein's Biggest Blunder"

- A screening of videos on art and failure created by New York City-based artist David Kramer
