“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 inspired by jellyfish population explosion, crowded by science
Beware jellyfish, and not just because they can sting. It looks as if they might be poised to take over the world, starting with the oceans. “The Trouble With Jellyfish,” an installation at Le Laboratoire Cambridge by Mark Dion in collaboration with marine biologist Lisa-ann Gershwin, lays it all out with vivid clarity.

Cymatics is the science of sound and liquid interaction in the form of visible sound waves. The sound waves travel through the liquid, manifesting in eye-catching ripples and jumps. Glenfiddich decided to use this concept to create a visual representation of the effects of live music on single malt – the perfect metaphor for the marriage of two cultures that culminates in their 21 Year Old whisky.
The artists performed the unique track in a London warehouse that was set up with a series of cymatic devices developed by creative laboratory TenHertz. Each device was specifically attuned to respond and react to different note ranges and sound frequencies, isolated through a speaker via specially programmed software. For example, large decanters were coupled with speakers isolating string instruments and vocals. Additionally, the Double Helix and Zig Zag devices reflected the double bass and percussion of the orchestra and band. The dance of the whisky is pretty fantastic to behold.The most awesome device was called the Levitron, which isolated a single drop of whisky, suspending it in the air as a result of the tune’s final notes.
Science marries art in this demonstration, the likes of which have not been seen outside of a laboratory.

A work by Siobhan McGibbon for The Future Is Here.A work by Siobhan McGibbon for The Future Is Here.
ART AND science - are they complementary disciplines or mutually exclusive? The possible meeting points between the two will be explored in The Chimera Art and Science programme and the exhibition, The Future is Here.
Chimera, is a CÚRAM and NUI Galway based project, founded by Andrea Fitzpatrick, its director and programme. It brings artists and scientists together to create a dialogue around the cultural issues of tissue engineering and medical devices. It also seeks to develop a visual arts research project within the CÚRAM laboratories, exploring experimental practice, with artists given full access to the labs and staff. Work by its artists in residence, Siobhan McGibbon and Joanna Hopkins, will go on public display at The Future is Here, in the Galway City Museum, which opens on Friday October 30 at 5pm.

Exhibition Explores How Science Influences Art
An artist fascinated with the intricacies of the brain, creates work that shows the beauty of data culled from neuroscience. Another one critiques our love affair with pharmaceuticals via some seductive-looking artistic interpretations of drugs. One artist demonstrates how wind actually looks — its forces captured on paper with the help of computer software.Though their specific interests differ, all three artists draw inspiration, and sometimes methodology, from the world of science. And all are represented in “Compendium,” an exhibition about science-influenced art — or SciArt — on view through Dec. 27 at the Islip Art Museum in East Islip.
With work by 13 artists in mediums varying from drawing to 3-D printing, “Compendium” ventures into such realms as biology and medicine, chemistry, earth sciences, astronomy, physics and computer science.

Exhibit brings art and science together
Ann Street Gallery will host an artist reception an exhibit opening for "Art + Science," a group exhibition, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Oct. 24.This event is free and open to the public. The gallery is at 104 Ann St., Newburgh.
"Art + Science" highlights the work of 17 artists and scientists from around the globe integrating concepts borrowed from science into their artwork to create a new aesthetic way to experience science.
Collaborations between artists and scientists are not new, but they are becoming more popular as science offers a range of new media and methods for artistic exploration. Within this new movement, artists are incorporating scientific methods into their practice, and scientists are using scientific data to create works of art.
Featured art includes installations, sculptures, paintings, microetchings, fiber arts, and other mixed-media works, that investigate scientific areas such as digital data programming, microbiology, self-illuminating sculpture, artificial retina research, and creative explorations into the realm of coding.The exhibition affords a venue for artists, scientists and the audience to explore how the world is perceived through the lenses of art and science.
This exhibition will run through Nov. 28.For more information, contact Virginia Walsh at 784-1146 or vwalsh@annstreetgallery.org.

Microbes take center stage in art contest
Microbiologists are good artists!Using a petri dishes as their canvas, scientists from around the world have produced tiny masterpieces for the American Society for Microbiology’s annual agar art contest. One entrant used their microbes to produce the classic British police box while another painted a portrait of Louis Pasteur. Still others went for landscapes, comic book superheroes or were inspired to reimagine classic art works like Vincent van Gogh's "The Starry Night.”
For the van Gogh piece produced by Melanie Sullivan, the different colors represent different bacteria. The brown color, for example, is Proteus mirabilis, a bacterium known for its swarming motility that is a common cause of urinary tract infections. The white color is Acinetobacter baumanii, an opportunistic bacterium that can cause infection in people with weakened immune systems and the blue-green color is Enterococcus faecalis, a bacterium that colonizes the GI tract and is a common cause of lower urinary tract infections as well as more invasive infections in immunocompromised hosts.If only Vincent van Gogh could have lived to see this strikingly accurate reproduction of his iconic "Starry Night" -- especially since, instead of oil on canvas, the work is a bacteria on petri. Because even with these most minute of materials, the night sky still swirls with a palpable momentum of wind, fog and moonlight.
The work of science-savvy art is the product of Melanie Sullivan, a microbiologist who submitted her microscopic masterpiece to the American Society for Microbiology's first Agar Art contest. The competition invited microbiologists to get in touch with their cultural sides in more ways than one, exploring the infectious beauty of infectious bacteria.
The multitalented scientists used proteins, yeast and good ol' fashioned bacteria to create visions of flowers, skeletons, butterflies -- even a map of New York City. Check out all of the stunning submissions here

Some of the best thinkers in the world have been both scientists and artists, such as Leonardo Da Vinci.
Jorg Metz is a modern day example of this.
The Melbourne based scientist and artist will be in Port Germein for his exhibition based on his journey to Antarctica.
He has a long history with the Mid North after spending ten years as a chemist in Port Pirie and returning yearly to bushwalk through the Flinders Ranges.
Jorg Metz ventured to Antarctica during the summer of 2011 and 2012, is returning back to the Mid North region to display his artwork through the ‘ICE PACT’ exhibition.
