“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.”

‘Charting the Universe’ spotlights scientific instruments

Inspired by the painting “Portrait of a Lady as an Astronomer,” Kresge Library’s “Charting the Universe” exhibit, which is on display in Fairchild Hall, draws on objects from Dartmouth’s King Collection of Historic Scientific Instruments to showcase the tools that contribute to our visual understanding of the universe.

Billy Apple art project was dreamed up in 2009 by Dr Hilton, who holds the peculiar combination of a PhD in biochemistry and a masters in fine art from Elam.

"I wanted to make an art project that was genuinely about science, because a lot of people try and make art about science . . . but I look at it and think, ‘scientists wouldn't really take that seriously'," the Unitec lecturer says.

The process of immortalising his friend Billy Apple involved drawing b-lymphocyte cells from his blood and then growing them in a tissue culture.

They were then virally transformed to grow indefinitely, a process that is "reasonably routine" in the modern world of science.

The results of his work were displayed in an incubator at K Rd's Starkwhite Gallery in 2010.

"Everybody called it ‘the fridge' because it was just the cells in quite an expensive incubator, but it looked like a beer fridge," herecalls.

The Immortalisation of Billy Apple was significant enough to win the biochemist a prestigious Prix Ars Electronica award for hybrid art.

Dr Hilton grew the project further and has rmanaged to place Billy Apple's cell-line into the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC).

The United States-based "tissue bank" preserves a wide range of cell-lines but is not typically in the business of art collecting.

Maltese artists who are exploring various scientific phenomena have joined up in an interactive exhibition, entitled How?', that brings together science and art.

The exhibition will be part of the Science and the City events in Valletta on Friday.

How does the human mind work? How can a fly be compared to a human or be useful towards the future of the human race? How is a child born with a deformity? How does something stretch and get fatter?

Each artist will be seeking to represent a particular scientific research. For inspiration and accurate results, these artists had the opportunity of working with a Maltese scientist specialising in the chosen area by the respective artist.

Inspiring Budding Engineers with Indian Art

Two alumni of Polytechnic Institute of New York University (NYU-Poly) will exhibit works from their collection of modern and contemporary art in the halls of the engineering and applied sciences school through March 30, 2013. The exhibit, "Shifting Sublime," includes the work of prominent Indian artists as well as historic Bollywood posters from the private collection of Marguerite and Kent Charugundla.

"Engineering is founded on the principles of simplicity and style, and frequently the most structurally sound designs are the most beautiful, as well," said NYU-Poly President Jerry M. Hultin. "The splendor of the Brooklyn Bridge, whose cables were fabricated by NYU-Poly graduate James Woods, displays this most elegantly. We thank Kent and Marguerite for exemplifying how a love of science and engineering and a love of art can coexist and strengthen each other, and for generously sharing their collection with the NYU-Poly community."

"Art is everywhere – outside your window in the morning, in the pot of the lobby plant, in your mobile phone and in everything designed and engineered," said Marguerite Charugundla. "Every time you look at art, you see something new, and art changes the way you look at the world. We wanted to share our art with NYU-Poly's students, who come from all over the world, in the hope that it will expand their vision and their lives."

NYU-Poly educates students from 56 countries; one-third are international students, and 10 percent come from India.

The Charugundlas, recent graduates of NYU-Poly's masters program in Management of Technology, have been patrons of modern and Indian art for more than a decade, and they turned the first floor of one of their New York telecom business offices into the not-for-profit Tamarind Art. The gallery showcases Indian artists and helps fund struggling art associations in India.

The exhibit will formally open with a private reception on the NYU-Poly Brooklyn campus September 27, 2012. Works exhibited throughout three buildings include paintings by the seminal modern artist M. Sashidharan, acrylics by the award-winning artist Kamal Mitra, Partha Shaw, Stanley Suresh, Samir Aich, Pratul Dash, Narendra Rai, and prints and video by Australian digital artist Kathy Smith. Rupa Shah curated the exhibit.

Music from tiny particles' movements set to debut

The random dance of tiny particles bouncing around in liquid has been turned into a unique sound display.

The jostling molecules of liquid bump the particles to and fro in an effect called Brownian motion.

Now a chemical engineer and an artist have joined forces to turn this random molecular dance into music.

The project, called Scale Structure Synthesis, was developed for the University of Sheffield's Festival of the Mind, held from 20-30th september, 2012.

The festival will see a number of pairings of science specialists with non-specialists in the name of public engagement, alongside talks, exhibitions and demonstrations.

Physicist turned artist enjoys career change

the Kanata Lakes woman had worked as a scientist, first studying quantum mechanics at the prestigious Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge in England, then later developing radar systems for the Department of Defence.

From 1996 to 2001, Tremblay managed teams of scientists developing the next generation of telecommunication technology at Nortel Networks.

But always in the back of her mind, she carried with her the dream of becoming a full-time artist, a seismic career switch for a woman who had spent the past 20 years developing impressive academic and professional credentials in the fields of physics and telecommunications.

The change in careers came a little earlier than originally planned with the fall of Nortel.

“I’m now a full-time artist with science as a hobby,” said Tremblay.
