“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 August 22, 2015 at 8:35am: Art teacher and space flight... Worcester teacher Stacy Lord is taking art to stratospheric new heights.

Lord, who teaches visual arts at Worcester East Middle School, is one of 28 educators from across the United States selected to participate in NASA's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy program, known as SOFIA. She leaves Monday for a week-long stint that includes two 10-hour flights in a specially modified Boeing 747 equipped with a 100-inch infrared telescope.

The flying observatory, a joint German-US space science project, performs astronomical observations high above the Earth's atmosphere, where celestial objects can be more clearly seen. SOFIA scientists are seeking to understand the development of galaxies and how stars and planetary systems are formed out of interstellar clouds of gas and dust.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on August 22, 2015 at 8:33am: Science and art merge in the first Science Art Cinema event at Miami’s Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science. Set for 7 p.m. Aug. 29, the evening will explore lasers via films, performances, multimedia presentations and an immersive laser installation by artist Matthew Schreiber. Supported by a Knight Arts Challenge grant, the series kickoff is the first of four events. It’s also among the last to be held inside the nearly 50-year-old Planetarium before it shuts down; next summer, the museum moves into a $300 million home at Museum Park on Biscayne Boulevard.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on August 19, 2015 at 8:29am: Canadian scientist-cum-singer-songwriter Nigel Chapman tells how Nap Eyes' debut album Whine Of The Mystic was honed by self-limitation and inspired by an 11th-century wine-loving Persian astronomer
Great science intersects with great art. Science relies on innovation, spontaneity and creative thinking. It sees beauty in patterns and chaos, while promoting a universal desire to reach beyond known truths. Similarly, be it a painter's intense understanding of light and colour palettes or a sculptor's skilful mastery of their chosen stone or wood, all great art has an intuitive relationship with science.

To my mind, all musicians are practising scientists. From a deep understanding of sound and tone, or the joyous mathematics pervading time signatures and looping rhythms, to the hardcore electronic engineering underpinning all manner of amps, pedals, instruments and recording kit, musicians are constantly surrounded by science.

Nigel Chapman, singer, songwriter and rhythm guitarist in Canada's Nap Eyes, understands the balance between art and science more than most. By day, Chapman works as a biochemist in a lab at the Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. His research is focussed on the apelin receptor - a structure that sits on the surface of certain cell types and, when misbehaving, can trigger a variety of cardiovascular crises. His days are spent creating Western blots - a series of brown smudges that reveal the identity of mutated proteins.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on August 18, 2015 at 8:54am: Science -art work of Regina Valluzzi

Spiral Arm Dance, 8x10 inches, ink on paper. The drawing makes playful reference to structure of spiral galaxies, the clustering of matter and distribution of dust, and the "dance" of gravitational interactions.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on August 18, 2015 at 8:46am: How will life on mars effect your Body?
This is what an artist, Artist Sara Morawetz is challenging herself to find out.
Through August 22nd, Morawetz is living on Martian time as a performance art piece titled How the Stars Stand at Open Source Gallery in Brooklyn, NY. Her stunt will last 37 days - long enough for her days to completely invert and then slowly return to normal, not unlike a full waxing and waning cycle of the moon.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on August 18, 2015 at 8:31am: Art and science unite in unique study of neurofeedback
In 2013, art and science merged like never before at Toronto's Nuit Blanche art festival when guests were given the opportunity to participate in an scientific experiment investigating neurofeedback. Following the initial success of the "My Virtual Dream" project, plans are being made to scale-up the experiment as scientists take the project on a world tour. In 2015, the My Virtual Dream world tour will kick-off in Amsterdam and travel to San Fransisco.
On October 5, 2013, visitors entered a large scale art installation and participated in neurofeedback, a process where participants see their brain activity in real time, and based on the reading, modulate their behavior. This event not only introduced people to the power of EEG headsets, but also demonstrated that neurofeedback can have an impact on how people learn within one minute of initial interaction.
Over the course of 12 hours, electroencephalography (EEG) data, a measure of electrical activity from the brain, was recorded and analyzed from a total of 523 adults. Groups of people were brought into a 60-foot geodesic dome to participate in a two-part interactive experience. The dreaming portion of the evening involved projecting animated video clips with prerecorded music over the surface of the dome for the volunteers. There were four dream themes with different audio and video pairings, but the environment changed based on the EEG recordings from the participants. Only the gaming experience was reported in a 2015 PLOS ONE paper entitled "'My Virtual Dream': Collective Neurofeedback in an Immersive Art Environment".

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on August 17, 2015 at 8:29am: Art and science are back on the same page, or at least in the same space in the exhibition ''Art and Light'', which opened last night at Otago Museum's H. D. Skinner Annex.

Through the medium of art, the science of pollinating herbs on the Auckland Islands, Dunedin's special place in the world of lightning and the light and dark of Parkinson's research are illuminated, among other things.

And in the process, the practice of art has discovered new focus
It is the third such exhibition, following last year's ''Art and Anatomy'' exhibition and 2013's ''Art in Neuroscience'', each the product of collaborations between artists associated with the Dunedin School of Art and scientists at the University of Otago.

And this time, the cross-pollination involved has been taken almost literally in at least one work.

The scientist involved, university botanist Dr Janice Lord, has been working on the ''luxurious herbs'' that grow in the Auckland Islands, south of New Zealand, relates Dr Stupples, an art historian and theoretician at the art school.
