“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.”

Sense of Planet: The Arts and Ecology at Earth Magnitude :: NIEA Symposium
9.30am - 6.30pm on Saturday 25 August 2012 :: UNSW CBD Campus, Level 6, 1 O'Connell Street, Sydney
The acceleration of climate change, species extinction, and other ecological crises, enjoins us to find ways of grasping historical and evolving circumstances at earth magnitude. The Sense of Planet symposium concentrates together an international array of artists, eco-theorists and scholars to address the issues and activities of representing the earth in its entirety, and of representing and self-representing regions or localities amid the complex global systems in which they are enmeshed. The Symposium is convened by Douglas Kahn and Jill Bennett and speakers include Ursula Heise (Stanford University), Jennifer Gabrys (University of London), Timothy Morton (Rice University), Nicholas Mirzoeff (New York University) and Marko Peljhan (University of California Institute for Research in the Arts, University of California at Santa Barbara).

Another World :: Free Symposium presented by Artspace and NIEA
10.00am - 4.00pm on Friday 17 August 2012 :: Artspace, Woolloomooloo
Artspace, in association with the National Institute for Experimental Arts (NIEA) presents a free symposium, Another World. The symposium will ask how twenty first century global crises have transformed the context of art practice and analysis.
In the face of the Occupy movements, the Arab Spring, climate change, and environmental disaster, what new aesthetic tactics and strategies are emerging? Speakers will look at how new ways of operating challenge existing modes of representation, exhibition making and theoretical analysis. Do we need to rethink our disciplinary practices in response to the demands of the momentous events that shape contemporaneity or the new everyday?
Speakers include: Jill Bennett (National Institute for Experimental Arts, UNSW)
, Blair French (Artspace), 
Nicholas Mirzoeff (New York University)
, Kim Simon (Gallery TPW, Toronto)
 and Terry Smith (University of Pittsburgh/National Institute for Experimental Arts, UNSW).
Jill Bennett's new book, Practical Aesthetics: Events, Affect and Art After 9/11, will be launched by Prof. Terry Smith at 5pm.

As MOCA exhibit shows, art and science aren't mutually exclusive



But the two disciplines are not so different. Art and science do intersect at that crossroad where intellect, imagination and creativity meet. And both thrive on inspiration.

Indeed, scientists and artists work to find that singular moment, that flash of insight, that first step toward great things. It may be an experiment that yields a cosmic revelation about the universe, or the touch of a muse that is the birth of a beautiful piece of art or music.

I put it to you: Is there truly a great disparity between the mathematical beauty and symmetry of Einstein’s Relativity Theory and a haunting symphonic concerto that moves an audience to both joy and tears? To those that experience and appreciate each, the answer is no.

Sometimes art is naturally found in science. For example, who among us has not been mesmerized by the splendor and magnificence of distant celestial objects captured by the Hubble Space Telescope or stared in awe at the precise helical pattern found in something as simple as a seashell?

Other times, science may be the medium an artist uses to bring forth emotion to those in attendance.

Such an endeavor is currently being offered at the Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville (MOCA) in its Project Atrium series.

Since the days of the Renaissance, science has run parallel with art, at times veering in order to intersect. Leonardo da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa, studied and drew anatomy, and invented a hang glider and primitive helicopter. Michelangelo sculpted David, painted the Sistine Chapel’s ceiling and engineered the Medici Chapel.

In The Arts Center’s main gallery, science and art collide again as art imitates science in the exhibit, “The Art of Plankton: Form Follows Function.” The exhibit displays a series of artistic interpretations of photographs taken of marine phytoplankton by Angelicque White, an OSU scientist and assistant professor in the College of Earth, Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences.

White researches the various factors that control the growth, metabolism and diversity of the ocean’s microorganisms.

While her photographs are strictly scientific, there is a kind of recognizable artistic beauty in their subject. “(The photographs are) scientific surely,” White said. “The microbes are the art.”
