“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.”

Bacterial art:
On a cold January afternoon, a group of science students and artists pored over Petri dishes in the MIT Museum Studio, examining the bacteria growing within them. These were not just any bacteria: they were components of the participants’ own microbiomes, which had formed visible colonies in an incubator overnight, thanks to systems biology postdoc Tal Danino.

Danino and artist-in-residence Anicka Yi led a two-day workshop on “The Art and Science of Bacteria” as part of their scientific and artistic collaboration, set up by Meg Rotzel at MIT’s Center for Art, Science, and Technology.
"You can call me F" will be on display at The Kitchen in New York City from March 5 through April 11.

Biennial’s art and science collaborations
A temporary art installation on campus, part of the Cornell Council for the Arts’ (CCA) inaugural biennial last fall, will soon be on permanent display online and is the subject of an upcoming PBS documentary.

Biennial artist-in-residence Kimsooja’s “A Needle Woman: Galaxy was a Memory, Earth is a Souvenir,” created in collaboration with Cornell materials scientists and the artist’s son, architect Jaeho Chong, was installed on the Arts Quad in September and will be featured in a Google Cultural Institute exhibition in a virtual 3-D display with 360-degree views.

Fostering interaction between artists and scientists on collaborative projects, the biennial explored creativity and research on the micro scale. The event was conceived to underscore the importance of the arts in a research university setting, highlighting the participation of faculty and students; and to raise Cornell’s profile in the arts internationally.

One of Britain's leading artists has teamed up with a Nobel Prize-winning physicist to turn fragments of drawings by William Blake, JMW Turner and Pablo Picasso into the so-called "wonder material" graphene.

The fruits of Cornelia Parker and Professor Konstantin Novoselov's experiments in art and science will reopen the Whitworth art gallery in Manchester on Friday (today).

Art organisations to bring in data scientists to lure new audiences

Some companies bring in “artists in residence” to boost creativity in the workplace. But in a reversal of that trend, three of the UK’s biggest artistic organisations are now recruiting “data scientists in residence” to develop their businesses through what has been described as a “cultural Moneyball” programme.

Two expert data scientists will spend the next six months in residence at the National Theatre, the Barbican and the English National Opera.

The programme will explore new ways arts organisations can take advantage of the volumes of data they create better to understand how to bring in new audiences.

Examples include analysing social media to understand their existing and potential new audiences, and even mapping ticket sales against weather to discover if there is a pattern.

The Signal and the Noise: The Art and Science of Prediction by Nate Silver, famed for his accurate prediction of US voting patterns, was hailed as the “root text” of the project by Anthony Lilley, the chief executive of creative technology company Magic Lantern.

He added that there are “elements of Moneyball”, the book which later became a Hollywood movie about how Oakland As, the baseball team, flew in the face of conventional wisdom and used rigorous statistical analysis to build a team that could compete with the best on a fraction of the budget.

Algae. To some, that word might conjure unpleasant images of an algal bloom in a lake or an infestation inside their swimming pool. But to biologists and environmental scientists from FIU’s School of Environment, Arts and Society, diatoms – a major group of algae – are an expression of past and present environmental conditions and an opportunity to showcase nature’s beauty in its purest form.

The scientists have teamed up with artists from the Tropical Botanic Artists collective for the second time to highlight the beauty of the aquatic microorganism with the exhibit “In Deep with Diatoms” currently on display at the FIU Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum. Together, they are adding to a long and rich tradition of artists drawing inspiration from Florida’s environment.
The exhibit will run until Sat., Feb. 22. An opening reception is scheduled for Sat., Feb. 14 at 4 p.m. A panel discussion is scheduled for Wed., Feb. 18 at 5 p.m. All events are free and open to the public.

The words SCIENCE, CREATIVITY and EXECUTION were written on the blackboard. Art students came up one by one, presenting their videos, paintings and songs about the astronomy they had learned in Ágnes Mócsy’s class at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. “You know that you’re better off if you have questions for each other,” Mócsy warned the class in order to encourage participation as she critically assessed one student’s poem about the formation of stars and planets. She seemed tough, but a slight smile gave away her delight with what the students had produced.

This mix of art and science is indicative of how Mócsy, a theoretical physicist, lives her life. Born during the 1970s as a member of the Hungarian minority in the Romanian dictatorship, her world today explodes with expression through food, fashion, cycling and her research into the origins of the universe.
