“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 February 18, 2015 at 9:38am: Annual Santa Fe exhibit brings together art, science
Science and art will once again come together in Santa Fe next month, as University of New Mexico and Los Alamos National Laboratory researchers reveal the hidden beauty of living cells and the molecules that provide the essentials of life. The sixth annual “Art of Systems Biology and Nanoscience" show, an annual event that showcases scientific images of nature, is set for March 27 and 28 at Peters Projects Gallery, 1011 Paseo de Peralta. The event is free and open to the public.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on February 18, 2015 at 8:52am: This Is Your Brain on Science
With Cognitive Technologies, East Bay artists and scientists work together to bring brain technology to the masses.
Process of learning to control your mental state using information from an EEG headset is called neurofeedback. Although I've been watching people open flowers, control robotic arms, and light things up with their minds all night, I can't help but feel like I've just watched magic happen.

Cognitive Technologies, which opened January 31 at the Exploratorium (Pier 15, San Francisco), is a collaboration between a group of UC Berkeley students under the same name (Cog Tech for short) and Fruitvale's m0xy Artist Incubator. The exhibit brings cutting-edge neuroscience technology to the general public through a series of interactive art pieces, including "Bloom," "Make It Move" (in which you control a robotic arm with your mind), and "Puzzling Evidence" (a glowing table that lights up with different colors as you focus on completing puzzles).

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on February 17, 2015 at 6:55am: Georgia Museum of Art to present science-inspired exhibition
The Georgia Museum of Art at the University of Georgia will present the exhibition “Jay Robinson: Quarks, Leptons and Peanuts” from March 28 through June 21. The exhibition will feature the work Robinson has created since a fire destroyed his home and studio in the mid-1990s and is organized by William U. Eiland, director of the museum, and Todd Rivers, head preparator.

After the fire, Robinson’s work moved in a different direction and he reinvented himself as an artist, taking inspiration from science. He started studying molecular physics and constellations, moving toward abstraction from a previously realistic approach. Despite the fact that he will turn 100 this year, he continues to create work, painting in the burned studio that he later rebuilt. One painting, an untitled African scene, survived the fire and will be shown in the exhibition.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on February 17, 2015 at 6:50am: Michelle Hunter is an artist that loves science. Her paintings and drawings focus on how different areas of our brain are activated through those various activities, and how our brains react to emotional stimuli. Her illustrations explore the brain’s relationship with memory, caffeine, sleep, music, and more. Each time she finishes a piece of art, she writes a blog post to share her creative process and the related research for that piece. Exploring Neuroscience Through Art is her blog; and it explores how we experience the world physically and emotionally through the brain. Research for her Brain Series blog posts is rooted in a variety of scientific resources. Reference sources include scientific articles about the brain related to specific activities, such as what happens in the brain while we listen to music or are in deep sleep.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on February 16, 2015 at 6:50am: Art, meet science.

University of Houston neuroscientist and engineer Jose Luis Contreras-Vidal is working with Valls, associate professor of dance, to produce what Contreras-Vidal calls “a brain-computer interface in service of the arts,” part of an ongoing project to study how creativity affects the brain.

Contreras-Vidal will discuss the work at noon Wednesday, Feb. 25, at the Blaffer Art Museum on the UH campus, talking about “Your Brain on Art: Understanding the Brain in Creative Action and Context.”

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on February 14, 2015 at 12:20pm: The dancing SCIENTIST: Teacher who uses DNA Boogie and Meiosis Square Dance to explain biology caught on camera

Dr Richard Spencer choreographs his college biology lessons to music
The teacher at Middlesbrough College in Teeside says it 'inspires' pupils
He uses coloured bibs to represent chromosomes and DNA neucleotides
He also writes science lyrics to famous songs like Blame it on the Boogie
He has now been nominated for the $1m (£650,000) Global Teaching Prize

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on February 13, 2015 at 8:41am: Become Ocean, composed by John Luther Adams, commissioned and performed by Ludovic Morlot, music director, Seattle Symphony Orchestra, won the Grammy for best contemporary classical composition, February 2015.

Indeed, Mr. Adams also won the Pulitzer Prize for the same haunting orchestral piece, suggesting a “relentless tidal surge, evoking thoughts of melting polar ice and rising sea levels,” (2014 Pulitzer Prize Winners, Music.)

Thus and so, global warming gains recognition within a vanguard of artistic creation, on stage in orchestral performance, the Seattle Symphony Orchestra’s first-ever Grammy, 2015.
