“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.”

Art of Science: Chemistry, Theatre Join Forces to Keep Undergrad Labs Safe
Teaching assistants learn how theatre techniques can lead to greater authorlearning experiment, run by a new partnership between the Department of Theatre and Dance and the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry, chemistry teaching assistants tasked with instructing undergraduate lab sections spent the day taking acting lessons and learning how theatre techniques can help to increase overall lab safety.ity and presence in classroom.
The eight-hour day fittingly began in the Laboratory Theatre with an hour of theatre games to warm up the students and prepare them for interaction – a prospect that Dominick Casadonte, Piper Professor of Chemistry, readily admits most of the teaching assistants met with some level of skepticism. Students then learned about body and movement, vocal work and status transactions, or how one announces one’s dominance or submission through body language.
“I think art and science are both tied together,” Casadonte said. “We made the point. I said, ‘Why do you think this is called a lab theatre? This is where the theatre students come to create new works. This is where they perform their cutting-edge stuff. It’s just like when you create new compounds in the lab. Both are tied together by this notion of creativity, and I think that resonated with the students.”
Working Together to Stay Safe
Using 16 different safety scenarios, organizers in chemistry drafted departmental responses to each one, such as fire, chemical spills or handling horsing around. Actors from the theatre department would portray the scenarios, stopping at the crucial moment when teaching assistants would have to make a critical decision. The teaching assistants would discuss what they should do, and then be inserted into the restarted scene to handle the situation with safety as the ultimate outcome.
Sometimes, the teaching assistants had to be commanding and take control of a situation. Other times, they had to be soothing in a tense situation to keep the class under control.

Particle physics and illustration are about to collide in the culmination of the Jiggling Atoms project; the brainchild of artist Natalie Kay-Thatcher. Over the past six months 25 dedicated artists have attended lectures and seminars about physics! They have been set the task of visually interpreting aspects of the often-viewed incomprehensible world of particle physics.
A series of four lectures from co-organisers Malte Oppermann and Jennifer Crouch transported the artists from everyday experience and thinking into the strange realm of the atom and scientific methodology. They learnt of the guiding forces and lumpy discrete nature of Nature. In a final lecture from myself we went deeper down the rabbit hole, smaller than the atom to explore particles.
Now enthused and educated about all things science; the artists were given five short briefs. Each brief explored different aspects of particle physics; quantum weirdness, the space between particles, 'seeing' particles with machines, symmetries and the rules of Nature, and the very early history of the Universe. Various methods of interpretation were also suggested; a toy or game, image or series of images, object, comic strip, or info-graphic. While ideas were taking seed a number of seminars and e-mail conversations followed. From these discussions the briefs took on new and exciting dimensions as artists and scientists' explored ideas of representing the subject matter off brief.
Right now as you read the final touches are being drawn, painted, constructed or fabricated. Alongside the exhibition, which takes place next week, will be a glittering array of workshops and talks. If you are in London 1st-7th October then you must come and interact by exploring physics with us. More information can be found on the brilliant www.jigglingatoms.org website designed by the project's artistic director Rosie Eveleigh.

Take 100 NASA Photos, Stir, Make Van Gogh’s ‘Starry Night’
We’ve seen Van Gogh’s iconic “Starry Night” painting as both an iPad app and a domino run, but now an astronomy major has recreated it in perhaps the most apt way: with NASA photos of the cosmos.
Alex Parker, a post-doctoral fellow at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, made the mosaic-style image out of publicly available downloads of NASA’s top 100 images from the Hubble Space Telescope. Cloudy weather prevented him from working on a recent night at the observatory, so he came up with the idea of creating the image for Hubble’s 22nd birthday.

Heritage hot spots History, nature, art, environment
One reason is to see Cosmos at the Castle, a multimedia exhibition that takes visitors on a tour of the universe using interactive cinema-sized screens and individual touchscreens.The castle itself dates back to the late 16th century, when a tower was built to guard the approach to Cork from pirates and raiders. The tower later helped to guide ships to and from the port.
Why now? Blackrock Castle Observatory hosts regular open nights and exhibitions that celebrate the fusion of art and science through astronomy. For example, it hosts free child-friendly workshops and public lectures on the first Friday evening of each month.

“Is black a color?” “Does black even exist?”
According to Harry Cooper, Curator and Head of Modern Art at the National Gallery of Art, the answer to both of these questions is no.
At the latest Andrew W. Mellon Symposium in Conservation Science, held Saturday in the Arthur M. Sackler Museum, Cooper joined scientists and artists from around the country to discuss the material and immaterial aspects of color, ranging from the dyes of the Renaissance Italian palette to the preservation of American minimalist artist Dan Flavin’s colored neon bulbs.
The day-long event was organized by Erin R. Mysak, a postdoctoral fellow in Conservation Science.
“I hope for the general audience to understand a bit more about how science and art are interrelated,” Mysak said. “It’s often hard for the public to access science, and it’s not so much that way with art. I wanted to try to bring science to the public and help the public understand how scientists add to the scholarly body on art."
The topic of color was explored from a variety of angles throughout the day. Lectures ranged from Renaissance Italian art to color in archaeological material to brilliant marine-quality enamel. Francesca Esmay, conservator of the Panza Collection at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, presented on Flavin’s electric lights. Esmay elaborated on the challenge of maintaining Flavin’s artwork despite the perpetual need for replacement bulbs, highlighting the difficulty of sustaining a work of art as technology changes.

The art of cooking and science:
http://www.telegram.com/article/20120927/NEWS/109279988/1312Basic cooking lectures at times sound more like a chemistry lesson, covering the culinary uses of xanthan gum, or the physics of why oil and water won’t mix. And just this month, the school was approved to offer a new major in culinary science, a field encompassing food science and culinary arts.
A recent class covered dessert making via liquid nitrogen. Chef Francisco Migoya carefully dunked strawberries into a smoking container of the super-cold liquid, then shattered them with a mallet and ground the shards into a fine berry dust for use in an ice cream dish. Frozen borage petals were added for garnish.The famous French chef Auguste Escoffier never studied ion-dipole attraction and James Beard never had to consider the complex and sometimes outlandish creations of molecular gastronomy. But science has crept into cooking in so many ways, from cooks using lab centrifuges to separate ingredients to high-end restaurants that serve aerated foie gras. The trend, sometimes referred to as modernist cuisine, is loosely defined as the movement to incorporate scientific principles into the cooking and presentation of food.
And the movement has stars, like Chicago’s Grant Achatz and Spain’s Ferran Adria, who made gorgonzola balloons and vanishing ravioli for a select few at his former restaurant, elBulli. Practitioners even have a manifesto: “Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking,” a 2,438-page text published last year by Nathan Myhrvold, the first chief technology officer at Microsoft, which includes tips for preserving truffles in carbon dioxide.The emphasis on science is signaled most dramatically with the new bachelor of professional studies degree in culinary science. Beginning in February, students pursuing the degree will be able to take courses such as Dynamics of Heat Transfer, Flavor Science and Perception, and Advanced Concepts in Precision Temperature Cooking.
To Loss, a strawberry is not just something to be sliced or dipped, but something with cells and enzymes that can be manipulated for best taste and presentation. Loss explained that the strawberries smashed in the kitchen classroom have more surface area and thus more flavor. And ice cream made in liquid nitrogen is smoother than the stuff on the supermarket shelves because ice crystals don’t have time to form.
