“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.”

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on October 15, 2014 at 6:11am: Lost in Fathoms from GV Art on Vimeo.

GV Art presents Lost in Fathoms, a solo show by French artist Anaïs Tondeur developed in collaboration with Jean-Marc Chomaz (CNRS, France). This show presents a series of installations, drawings and photographs created around a narrative that challenges our perception of oceanic and geologic time scales and human's impact on the environment.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on October 15, 2014 at 5:59am: CALL FOR PAPERS, PANELS AND WORKSHOPS
The Inaugural (Rest of the World) SLSA Conference
Perth Western Australia
1-3 October 2015
Neolife; full of surprises.
From the odd to the mundane, new forms of life are emerging in labs, workshops and studios. With the promise of exploitation for health and wealth we are seeing life as it previously never existed, albeit smothered in hyperbole, rhetoric and speculation. How do cultures such as Indigenous Australia respond to Neolife? On what terms are countries like China, India, Singapore and Japan, who have a rapidly growing biotech industry embracing or rejecting Neolife? How different it is to the west? Neolife: The Rest of the World SLSA 2015 meeting in Perth, Western Australia will attempt to address these questions from a wide range of approaches.

Abstracts (max 300 words) accepted from November 1 2014 due 21 March 2015.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on October 14, 2014 at 6:11am: “Fires of Change” spurred the partnered organizations to get together over two years ago—even before the historic Yarnell Fire in June, 2013.

The wealth of knowledge exchanged between the art and science communities represents a greater challenge to come. The hope is this project will encourage societal exploration of fire, as well as consortia around the country to develop further options and programs to express science through an artistic aperture.

Barb Satink-Wolfson, Southwest Fire Science Consortium coordinator and NAU School of Forestry professor, said in a previous interview with the Daily Sun the idea stemmed from a similar collaboration between the Alaska Fire Consortium and the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

The SWFSC is a neutral partnership with the Joint Fire Science Program, and connects managers, scientists and policy makers in the interest of education and collaboration.

With a grant from the JFSP secured, Satink-Wolfson and fire ecologist, NAU School of Forestry professor and Consortium Principal Investigator Andi Thode approached the Flagstaff Arts Council with their plan.

The SWFSC also involved NAU’s Landscape Conservation Initiative to facilitate the North Rim workshop and connect with Grand Canyon fire managers.

“Fires of Change” will be next year’s Festival of Science art exhibition, and will run from Sept. 4 through Oct. 31. In funding a project like this, the Arts Council receives support from Coconino County, including use of the County-owned Coconino Center for the Arts; from supporters, sponsors and the City of Flagstaff.”

As of press time, two sponsors for “Fires of Change” have signed on—Full Circle Trade and Thrift and Freeman Huber Law—but more are anticipated in the coming months.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on October 14, 2014 at 6:07am: Science and discovery will be on display Thursday, Oct. 16, to Sunday, Oct. 19, in Fond du Lac during the statewide annual Wisconsin Science Festival.

Science seekers will have the opportunity to look, listen, feel, touch, ask questions and discover science, according to an event press release.

WisSciFest brings scientists, artists, citizens and organizations together to engage the public in technology, engineering, art and math.

“Science shouldn’t be a word that’s feared,” said Michael Jurmu, professor of geography-geology at University of Wisconsin-Fond du Lac. “Most science can easily be explained using demonstrations and simple concepts.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on October 14, 2014 at 5:58am: Art and science make beautiful collaboration
Neurons and Other Memories exhibit in Miller Gallery evoke connected world
The creative fusion of art, science, and even history is the concept behind the Miller Gallery’s latest exhibit, Neurons and Other Memories, which opened on Friday. The exhibit is small and understated, taking up only the ground floor of the Miller Gallery’s already modest gallery space. The majority of the works line the walls of a small rectangular room tucked behind the gallery’s entrance.

Within that space, though, is a surprising diversity of works. Most pieces are from the 21st century, but other selections are centuries old, demonstrating humanity’s recent history — since the Scientific Revolution, it seems — of depicting science in visual formats. One such selection is an extraction from Diderot’s Encyclopédie: an almost fantastical illustration of a tree-man, branches and roots outlining the shape of the man like veins and arteries, demonstrating the neural connections that bind the body.

The aesthetic highlight of the exhibit is Greg Dunn’s series of four beautiful, shimmering works: “Purkinje Neurons,” “Synaptogenesis,” “Glomerulus,” and “Retina I” are enamel depictions of neural connections on leaves of gold, copper, and aluminum.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on October 13, 2014 at 5:49am: Mineralogical society’s presentation will celebrate life of prehistoric animal painter Charles R. Knight

Next week, the Nittany Mineralogical Society will host a presentation on renowned paleoartist Charles R. Knight. The talk, “Charles R. Knight: Art and Geology,” will focus on Knight’s life and vast contribution to the world of paleontology through his art.

Knight, who died in 1953, was the first artist we know of to study fossils and skeletal remains and then create complete renderings of what these now-extinct animals might have looked like as they reigned over the Earth. For this reason, Knight often is referred to as the father of paleoart, and his work can be found in books, zoos, museums and even in Hollywood films. According to retired geologist Charles E. Miller, Jr., one of the presenters at the event, films “The Lost World” (1925) and “King Kong” (1933) depended on Knight’s paintings of dinosaurs in order to re-create them in those films. Knight and his work also have been the subjects of articles in Scientific American magazine.
