“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.”

'Psychedelic Space' Turns the Chemistry of Mind-Altering Drugs Into Art
Kelsey Brookes's new tome Psychedelic Space provides a highly unique peek at one of the most unseeable areas of science: chemistry.
Brookes, a former researcher for the CDC and molecular diagnostics company Genprobe, creates paintings based on the skeletal structure of psychoactive molecule line diagrams: LSD, mescaline, Oxycontin, MDMA, methaqualone, Ritalin, psilocybin. (Just your regular Friday night.) They are aesthetic renditions of a reality we know to be there but are unable to view: vibratory, hallucinogenic, dazzling artistic expressions with a reassuringly real foundation.Brookes begins each work with a pencil outline of the molecular structure, mapping out where each atom and bond is positioned on the canvas. His paintbrush then uses these loci as points of departure, radiating outward in bands of contrasting hues.
Hamilton Morris’s essay/focused lament that kicks the book off best measures the gap between science and visual expression that Brookes so gracefully bridges. Morris triumphs non-contact atomic force microscopy, our most advanced technique for seeing molecular structures

'The Hidden Code': An Embrace Of Art And Science
On 24th Sept. 2015, the Boston Museum of Science will premiere The Hidden Code at the Charles Hayden Planetarium, a multimedia piece by Paul Miller (aka D J Spooky). The piece combines music, stunning visual effects and live readings to bring science to the general public in ways that only a few years ago would be unthinkable.A video preview can be seen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FFVTdtIGQI , while the full audio content can be retrieved for free from this link : http://thehiddencode.dartmouth.edu/ . The text is from my book A Tear at the Edge of Creation. (Full disclosure: I narrate part of the project, reading from my book.)
The piece was commissioned by the William H. Neukom Institute for Computational Science at Dartmouth College, as part of a broader initiative to inspire more cross-disciplinary reaching between the sciences and the arts.
Scientists, artists, museum curators and digital technology experts are inventing a new language for science popularization that should be part of every school curriculum, public and private. It's the dawn of the "science as awe" era, where it's not just about telling people what atoms, black holes or genes are, but about integrating the scientific narrative into a broader context — where science becomes part of a grander theme, our search for meaning in a mysterious universe that never ceases to amaze and surprise us.

Dana Tai Soon Burgess dancers cosmically intertwine art and science
The premiere of “We choose to go to the moon.”
This is a poetic view of President John F. Kennedy’s launch of the Apollo program, entwined with scientists’ words about how mind-blowing space is. Space is where time races and stops, where death is so big you can see it across the universe but where life is also renewable. A star’s demise a billion years ago lives on as a phenomenon we can witness tonight. And from that explosion, which a physicist patiently describes as a “catastrophe” in a voice-over, new stars — new life — are born.

Literary Conference explores confluences
Paleo-artist Russell Hawley studied the prehistoric creatures surrounding him at his desk last week. He pondered which of the drawings to include in his upcoming presentation on “the intersection between art and science,” he said. He’ll talk about how he works with paleontologists to accurately depict what long-extinct animals looked like and to express other scientific concepts.
The artist and Tate Geologic Museum education specialist is one of the presenters for the 29th annual Casper College and ARTCORE Literary Conference Sept. 24-26 at Casper College.“Confluences” is the theme of this year’s conference.

Local doctor’s idea blooms into trailblazing brain images of cellist’s performance
One local doctor, a self-described dreamer, decided that science could become part of the artistic experience with no ulterior motive, no purpose other than an aesthetic one.His idea was triggered by a cello recital and a spark of curiosity. He wanted to know: What in the world was going on in the performer’s brain?
Jacobo Mintzer, executive director of the Clinical Biotechnology Research Institute at Roper St. Francis and an Alzheimer’s Disease expert, had attended a spring solo recital by Norbert Lewandowski, principal cellist in the Charleston Symphony Orchestra.
The recital included contemporary works that relied on sampling and digitally rendered audio. Lewandowski had recorded himself playing various parts, as required by the musical score, then performed live in conjunction with the recorded lines.

Scientists and street artists have combined their talents in Canberra in an effort to bring local scientific research and discoveries to the fore.
Five local street artists on Saturday paired up with five PhD Science students from the Australian National University (ANU) to take inspiration from their research, discoveries and concepts integral to their field.
From this collaboration street artists came up with the concept for pieces of work which took shape over the course of the day at the Westside pop-up village on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin.

Science and art combine to tell a tale of fire
Art, like a raging wildfire, pushes boundaries. A new exhibit in Flagstaff combines science and art to showcase the ever-present threat of wildfires in the region and their impact on the landscape.
“Fires of Change” was introduced this year at the Coconino Center for the Arts as part of the annual Festival of Science. The joint fire-science program and art exhibition, funded by the National Education Foundation, explores, through the eyes of the artists, the increase in severity, size, and number of Southwest wildfires and their effects.
