“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.”

http://post.jagran.com/us-based-artist-depicted-swami-vivekanandas-...
The life of Swami Vivekananda has come alive through a first-of-its-kind documentary made in laser by a US-based artist Manick Sorcar on the philosopher-saint's 150th birth anniversary.
Full of animation and 3D effects, the documentary uses cutting-edge laser technology to transport the audience to a world where art fuses with science seamlessly.
Funded by the Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture at Golpark, 'Swamiji' was premiered at Science City on Wednesday , 10thOct, 2012.Planned as a tribute to the saint on the occasion of his 150th birth anniversary celebrations, Sorcar, son of the late legendary magician P C Sorcar, said the one-hour-long documentary was the longest laser documentary ever made on anyone.
He now plans to screen his creation in other major cities of India, the US and other countries.
The documentary starts with rare, black and white original images from the pages of an old picture book where the audience visits famous scenes from the Columbus Hall of the Art Institute in Chicago.
There, Swami Vivekananda gave his famous speech at the Parliament of Religions which opened with the famous address "My Sisters and Brothers of America".
The lines had impressed the august gathering so much that they gave him a standing ovation lasting over two minutes.
As Swamiji's message of religious tolerance is delivered, the black and white images come to life in colourful laser beams and three-dimensional visual effects.
Research for this project started several years ago when Sorcar, who twice won the prestigious 'Artistic Award' from International Laser Display Association in USA, visited the Art Institute in Chicago.
"It was my personal desire to do a laser documentary on the life story of Swamiji who has been the inspiration all my life. Then after being invited by the Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture my dream came true," said the artist.

Innovative project integrates arts with science learning
National Science Foundation funds Worcester incubator for Art of Science LearningThe worth of art versus science is a frequent counterpoint in debates about education. But what if art education not only coexisted peacefully with science education, but enhanced it? Hands-on, imaginative approaches to science education, using many of the methods used in the creative arts, have been shown to attract and retain young people in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). That is the premise of the Art of Science Learning, an initiative to explore ways in which the arts can help improve how people of all ages learn STEM disciplines.
Now, with funding from the National Science Foundation’s $2.7 million award "Integrating Informal STEM and Arts-Based Learning to Foster Innovation," Worcester is one of just three cities nationwide, and the only one of its size, selected as an Art of Science Learning incubator in the move to transform STEM to STEAM—with the A added for arts. The Worcester collaborative will be led by the Ecotarium in partnership with an advisory board of interdisciplinary mentors from 10 Worcester educational, business and cultural institutions—including Sandra Mayrand, director and founder of UMass Medical School’s Regional Science Resource Center (RSRC) and director of the Central Massachusetts STEM Network.
“The collaboration of the Worcester art and science organizations, including the Medical School, greatly impressed the site reviewers,” said Mayrand. “A lot of people including representatives from government, business, education and the non-profit world quickly came together to present our case. It was obvious that we all had worked together many times.”
While project development is still in its early stages, Mayrand is especially excited about the opportunities the incubator provides for Worcester graduate students, including those in the School of Medicine and Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, to participate. “They are the next generation of educators,” she noted. “Many of them are hungry for opportunities to teach.”
The NSF grant will fund arts-based incubators in Worcester, San Francisco and Chicago over the next four years as they develop innovations in STEM learning; structure an arts-based STEM curriculum; conduct experimental research to measure the impact of arts-based learning on creativity, collaboration and innovation; and create public programs using the project’s activities to advance civic engagement with STEM. The teams will learn arts-based techniques for generating, transforming, prototyping and communicating creative ideas and apply them to STEM-related civic innovation challenges. Participants will also collaborate on the development of new educational projects that integrate arts-based approaches into STEM learning.
“Being selected by the Art of Learning and the National Science Foundation is as big a coup as the funding itself,” said Mayrand. “This is great news for Worcester!”

Art children and their parents. The children, through the Art Center’s joint effort with the CMR Wildlife Refuge and Diane Oldenburg, had the opportunity to view the elk at Slippery Ann. As we made our way to Slippery Ann, our driver, CMR biologist Matt, spoke about the viewing and the meaning of the Wildlife Refuge.
Once there, CMR biologist Jackie told the children some fun facts about the elk. She also had an elk skull for the children to see and a piece of fur for them to touch. Then she asked us to listen carefully to the elk sounds and the differences between males and females voices. We actually got quite close to the elk, which thrilled the kids.
Jacqueline, our Art Education director, then gave the children sketchbooks and pencils and had the children look carefully at the animals in front of them, the strong thigh and leg muscles of the bulls, their strong neck, the differences with the cows, and watch the way the elk were moving legs and body. Then it was time to draw. The children had a unique opportunity and they knew it.
