“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.”

Perhaps even more importantly, artistic performances communicate what it’s like to be a scientist. They remind public and professional listeners alike that scientists are not robots in lab coats, but real people with our own quirks, hobbies, and talents. Geoscientists are starting to express their individuality more frequently, to much public delight; consider the infamous NASA “Mohawk Guy.” If your version of a Mohawk is a punk-rock ukulele or a string of geology puns set to a beat-poetry rhythm, the open mic is the place to show it.
Geoscientist and singer-songwriter shares her creative side at AGU’s Open Mic Night – and you can, too
Science is about discovering universal truths. Music, they say, is a universal language. So what better way to communicate science than through music?I am a paleoclimatologist and geochemist. But on the side, in the rare moments of downtime when I’ve put my research to bed for the evening, I am also a singer-songwriter. Scientists and artists don’t often find themselves in the same room, let alone in the same brain, so for years these two parts of my life have remained fairly separate. That is, until the AGU started hosting an Open Mic Night at its annual Fall Meeting.
http://blogs.agu.org/sciencecommunication/2014/12/08/geoscientist-s...The room was packed full of geoscientists with secret creative hobbies: musicians, poets, short story writers, rappers, inventors of strange instruments made from garden hoses.

University City Science Center’s latest digital art installation
It's a colorful play on genetics and code made by a group of London-based artists.
https://technical.ly/philly/2014/12/08/united-visual-artists-scienc...
It’s by London-based United Visual Artists.Here’s how the press release describes the piece, called “Blueprint”:
Exploring analogies between DNA and computer code, UVA have created the Blueprint series: works that pair genetics and code as the blueprints of artificial and natural systems. As the work slowly changes over time, patterns fluctuate between varying degrees of complexity. Blueprint uses the basic concepts of evolution to create an ever-transitioning image. With cells literally transferring their genes to their adjoining others, color flows like paint across the canvas.
Drawing up a unique colorful composition every minute, Blueprint presents the unlimited outcome that results from a single algorithm or a single set of rules.

Exploring arts, humanities is now mandatory for UB medical students
New requirement for Class of 2018 is part of national trend toward a more balanced medical education experience
On Dec. 5, first-year medical students at the University at Buffalo School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences will participate in a new requirement: attending the First Year Humanities Day.UB medical students will hear about and discuss medicine as depicted in poetry, music and drawing; they will even be able to participate as artists themselves, drawing a nude model in one of the sessions as they learn to correlate findings from gross anatomy in a living body. Other topics include discussing health care in terms of cost, cultural attitudes and ethics.
They say they require their students to develop scientific expertise, they also need to develop expertise in the art of practicing medicine,” says Michael Cain, MD, vice president for health sciences at UB and dean of the medical school.“Our students must learn to appreciate and understand not just clinical symptoms but the individual who is experiencing them,” he says. “The medical school’s new humanities requirement is one way to achieve this goal.”

In Moscow, Quantum Physics Meets the Visual Arts
Laboratoria Art & Science Space, a gallery/discussion forum established in 2008, that gives artists opportunities to work with scientists from various fields in order to explore the intersection of the two disciplines. Currently residing there until January 25, 2015, is an entrancing exhibition called Quantum Entanglement, curated by the gallery’s founder Daria Parkhomenko and co-curated by Higham. Showing work from both Russian and British artists, along with US graffiti artist Futura, the exhibition kicked off the four day FutureEverything event, which also featured a series of fascinating talks, workshops, and hackathons, UK electronic musicians (Lee Gamble, Evian Christ, Koreless, a Hyperdub showcase), and immersive and engrossing audiovisual shows (with stunning visuals by Emmanuel Biard).
http://thecreatorsproject.vice.com/en_au/blog/in-moscow-quantum-phy...At Quantum Entanglement, contemporary Russian artists, like Electroboutique—comprising Aristarkh Chernyshev and Alexei Shulgin—and Sergei Shutov sit alongside newer ones like ::vtol::, Dmitry Kawarga, the collective Where Dogs Run, and UK artists Memo Akten and Semiconductor. The artists had each been tasked with grappling with the strange and exotic world of quantum physics; namely, the phenomenon known as quantum entanglement which, in layman's terms, involves how particles interact with and affect each other over vast distances. It’s this mind-bending, almost magical aspect of nature that struck the curators as an interesting subject for artists to tackle.
And tackle it, they did: Electroboutique’s piece, Visual Uncertainty, explores the dual-natured reality that is presented us when we use scientific instruments to look into the subatomic world. It involved a piece of customized glass—what they call “magic glass"—hanging between two walls, with light projected onto each one. The walls are painted with a special material that is a silvery color to look at, but once you stare at them through the large lens, they come alive with swirling, colored patterns. How exactly this is done remains a secret that the artists weren’t willing to reveal—the process has a patent pending. “For me, quantum physics is something magical," explains Shulgin, "something that I do not understand but I do respect. In our work we do something where people don’t understand how it works. They see it and they enjoy and they admire it. You could draw this parallel with quantum physics and our artwork.”
