“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)
‘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.”

Artist Marie Lannoo’s newest exhibit, Magnetic Fields, on now at the Art Gallery of Regina, is a space where art and science meet.
The exhibit is made up of Plexiglas sheets curved into waves and mounted onto the walls, covered in a prismatic foil.
Lannoo, a Saskatoon resident and one of the most well regarded Abstract artists in Canada, had discovered the materials accidentally in a sign shop. The sales clerk had handed her the sheet of the plastic-like material from the top dusty shelf.
“It’s just a very mundane material if you saw it in the raw,” says Lannoo. “And at certain angles all it looks like is see-through plastic.”
But, in the shop, as she bent the material, “suddenly the walls were full of colour,” says Lannoo.
She loved the effect, but had no idea how it happened. So she called in the experts.
“I visited the Canadian Light Source in Saskatoon,” says Lannoo, referring to the national research facility where synchrotrons, sources of light that scientists can use to gather information about the structural and chemical properties of materials, are studied.
“I didn’t want to take a physics class,” Lannoo explains, “so I contacted the centre. I went with my materials and asked them to explain to me how this stuff worked.”
How it works is a complicated process of diffraction gratings and logarithmic spirals. But the exhibit, says Lannoo, is also about colour for colour’s sake.
“I have a particular interest in colour in my work. What this exhibition does is it creates (colour) without using any of the conventional materials of a painter.”
The exhibit is on until Oct. 6.

We Form Geology
Travelling Gallery, various locations around Scotland, Aug-Dec 2012
The exhibition spans a range of formats, from super-8 film of an erupting volcano to a short story available within the beautifully presented program. Laser-etched graphite and mica fuse art with mineral bodies, and sit unobtrusively beside specimens on loan from the museum. Boarding the bus, however, the eye is drawn not to the roaring film at the far end, but to an epic copper-plate etching combining photo imaging and traditional drawing on hard ground. The comprehensive notes and delicate forms imprinted onto this large scale print make for compulsive reading and require a squint or two to fully appreciate the passion in the etching. Mineral forms both outside and inside our bodies are analysed and celebrated.

Deepjyoti Kalita from Assam is a sculptor who attempts to push the boundaries of traditional sculpture. While Kartik pushes his paintings into the realm of sculpture, Deepjyoti pushes his sculptures into the realm of painting. In his work titled ‘Decode’, a set of two dimensional images are kept inside a three dimensional box frame, while a cut out image of the artist moves between the other two images in regular intervals. Light, movement, color and object are employed in this work enquiring the possibilities of video, kinetic art, painting and sculptural installation in one go. Here Deepjyoti seems to be an existential man who is unable to decide upon the choices he is given with. He is given a typewriter, still unable to use it. He is masked to hide his identity, still he is not able to move away from him.
In his other sculptural installation too, Deepjyoti tries out the possibilities of all aforementioned art forms but it is more Foucauldian in approach. In one frame a man seen sitting on a column, the LED monitor then says, ‘Take a Bath’. Then the light Changes and the LED says ‘Now Dry up’. Then man is seen taking a headlong plunge into a water-body and the LED says ‘Bring a Cloud’. The total meaning shift between the sign and the signified, the act of signification happens as an absurd but curious act, and it opens up the possibility to see even the materials used also do not stick to their materiality and become something else in the process.
