“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.”

The Motions of Kayaking and Canoeing Recorded through Light Painting on Canadian Waterways
Ontario-based photographer Stephen Orlando is fascinated with human movement and uses programmable LED light sticks attached to kayak paddles, people, racquets, and other objects to translate that movement into photographic light paintings. The act of recording motion on the surface of water surrounded by reflections creates a surprisingly unique effect, almost sculptural in nature. You can see many more photos in his kayaking, canoeing, and swimming galleries.

New USU interdisciplinary project aims to bridge art, science
An interdisciplinary project aimed at bringing art and science through a symposium, exhibits, a joint artist-scientist residency and other arrangements is set to begin at Utah State University early next year.
The university announced ARTsySTEM — the brainchild of Mark Lee Koven, assistant professor of art, and Nancy Huntly, biology professor — in a news release this week.
ARTsySTEM will feature a year-long residency, a visiting scholar lecture series, art and science workshops and public art exhibitions, along with a semester-long art and ecology graduate course taught by Lee Koven and Huntly. In concert with USU’s 2015 Year of Water campaign, the project’s programming focuses on water ecology.

‘CHEM 101’ Exhibit at Benton Focuses on Science of Photography
Photography developed from a series of collaborative efforts in early 19th century among scientists and artists alike, from varied disciplines, each exploring chemicals and their reaction to light. Capturing images of landscapes and people quickly became the focus of most images, but as the photographers who emerged explored ways to be more creative with their images, they began to find ways to manipulate the chemistry of the photographic process in order to make an artistic statement.“CHEM 101: The Science of Photography” currently on display at the William Benton Museum of Art, serves both as an exhibition of the art of photography while seeking to inspire a better understanding of its basic chemistry.
The exhibit is collaborative effort between Department of Chemistry and the Benton, developed by Challa Vijaya Kumar, professor of chemistry, and Nancy Stula, executive director of the museum. It is the first in a planned series of projects supported by a National Science Foundation grant awarded to Kumar.
“It occurred to me one day that we have museums on this campus and they’re a wonderful gateway to communicate with the community,” says Kumar. “I want to engage with the general public in the larger context with how chemistry affects their lives directly or indirectly. Nancy knows how science and art are interrelated. Artists use cutting edge technology in their endeavors. It’s an excellent marriage between the two disciplines.”
“CHEM 101” includes works by 13 photographers who utilize the chemistry of the photographic process to manipulate images by adding or eliminating colors or changing the time of exposing photographic paper to chemicals.
http://today.uconn.edu/blog/2014/12/chem-101-exhibit-at-benton-focu...
“CHEM 101: The Science of Photography” continues at the Benton Museum through Dec. 14. For more information go to the Benton website: www.benton.uconn.eduhttp://benton.uconn.edu/chem-101-the-science-of-photography-2/

Communicating chemistry ( through art)
Of all the sciences, chemistry has always seemed to me to be closest to the arts. It appeals directly to the senses: the shapes and colours of molecules, the smells, the tactile aspects of materials and instrumentation. It draws on intuitions and craft skills, for example in the practice of forming crystals or getting a reaction to work. And most of all, it demands creativity and imagination: ‘chemistry creates its own object’, as Marcellin Berthelot puts it.
2014 Chemistry World science communication competition
Chemistry ought by rights therefore to enjoy the same kind of criticism and appreciation afforded to art – we can have views about what we like, even about what moves us. I suppose that this sort of subjective evaluation is not often encouraged because chemistry is a science. But it would be great to see some of it in this competition. The theme of ‘chemistry and art’ might be interpreted as ‘chemistry of art’, and there is plenty of interest in that. But it can also be read as ‘chemistry as art’. I look forward to seeing both perspectives explored in the entries.

Stunning pics of frozen ponds ( natural art and scientific explanations) :
See the pics here: http://imgur.com/a/BuzgM
What’s causing these perfect ice rings to form around rocks?
People speculated that...
the different depths of water in the pond caused it to freeze in increments, the deeper the water the slower the freeze.
stratification - the formation of heat-based layers in water - was to blame, or fluid turnover.
the ice particles would nucleate at the surfaces of the rock and continue from there, and this happened several times as temperatures could have fluxed and caused the freezing to stop. So the freezing basically started and stopped several times starting from the rock and then continuing
from where the ice stopped, except when it continues where the ice had stopped, the new ice doesn't have the same crystal structure or is oriented differently, causing a mismatch in the ice.
a ring froze and then debris got stuck against the already frozen section. The freezing of the next ring would have a different crystal structure or lots of nucleation sites (and thus light scattering grain boundaries) that would cause the interface to be opaque.

Science in art:
Ernie Button, a photographer in Phoenix, found art at the bottom of a whisky glass. Howard A. Stone, a mechanical and aerospace engineering professor at Princeton, found the science in the art.
Eight years ago, Mr. Button was about to wash the glass when he noticed that leftover drops of Scotch had dried into a chalky but unexpectedly beautiful film. “When I lifted it up to the light, I noticed these really delicate, fine lines on the bottom,” he recalled, “and being a photographer for a number of years before this, I’m like, ‘Hmm, there’s something to this.’ ”
He and his wife began experimenting. The Scotches with smoky, peaty flavors, like those from the islands of Islay and Skye in western Scotland, were inconsistent, needing more trial and error to produce the picturesque ring patterns.
“fluid mechanics” and “art”
Artificial mixture of water, alcohol and particles does not quite reproduce the whisky patterns. It appears that whisky also contains a surfactant — a chemical that reduces the surface tension of the droplets — and long stringlike molecules known as polymers, which attach to the glass, providing a template for the brushlike stroke patterns seen in the images. Both the scientists and Mr. Button suspect the molecules, as yet unidentified, enter the whisky during the aging process.
