“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 November 24, 2014 at 7:09am: Geology and art: Former Oklahoma geologist hopes he's found second career as an artist
After a series of oil-field injuries cut short his career as a consulting well-site geologist, Oklahoma City resident Joeallen Gibson Jr. has worked for the past four years to build a new career as an artist, albeit one with a particular affinity for dirt, salt and fossils. His first solo art exhibit, "Journey of a Self-Taught Artist," opens Dec. 5 at the Paseo Art Space.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on November 22, 2014 at 6:44am: Program explores connections between art, math, and science
Stephon Greenlee, a freshman at Quest Charter Academy, will perform an original spoken word piece, “Society Pain Pills,” at a student showcase Friday at the school.

But performance art isn’t enough for "Building STEAM," a week-long series of events designed to showcase connections between the arts and STEM education, or science, technology, engineering and math.

Greenlee and about 20 other student teams scheduled to perform at Quest’s student showcase also had to write papers explaining the science behind their performance.

“You think it’s just rapping, but it’s more than that,” Greenlee said as he explained how brain imaging has shown what happens in rappers’ brain functions when they’re improvising lyrics. Researchers have also compared what happens when rappers recite memorized lyrics.

“One of the hardest things for people to grasp is that science is behind everything,” said Marcus Belin, dean of students at Quest, a public charter school that focuses on math and science. At the same time, Belin said, "Building STEAM" is a way to help students see the creativity and innovation normally associated with the arts is also important in science.

The week’s events have included presentations on music, painting, robotics, gaming technology, dentistry, ergonomics and field trips to Caterpillar Visitors Center and a Caterpillar Inc. manufacturing facility.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on November 21, 2014 at 9:39am: Whimsy, physics unite in 'Objects in Motion' art work
Southern New Hampshire University’s McIninch Art Gallery is on the move with its latest exhibition, “Objects in Motion: Survey of Work by Kim Bernard.”

A reception will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. today, and the showing will be on display through Dec. 18.

Bernard, a Maine-based artist, creates projects that investigate the intersection where the science of physics collides with spirituality, playfulness and a pinch of humor.

“These recent kinetic works invite the viewer to physically engage the sculptures’ motion, as an extension of one’s own energy, and break the no touch rule of art,” curators said in announcing the exhibit.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on November 21, 2014 at 9:17am: Scientific arts
Katerina Evangelou, for example, a PhD student in Illustration, is researching graphic means by which to communicate the genetic development of butterfly eyespots. Her coloured micrograph produced during the event reveals how the structural interference to the arrangement of scales on the butterfly wing coincide with the centre of the eye spot. Her work was recently selected for inclusion in a peer-reviewed scientific paper, in preference to those produced by the scientist.
Recently in an event in which a gallery at the university became a laboratory for the exploration of worlds too small to be seen with the naked eye. It was equipped with a large and varied collection of microscopes on loan. One, a Phenom desktop Scanning Electron Microscope, is capable of up to x100k magnification. More than 800 visitors and students looked, drew, photographed and printed out everything from skin blemishes to stained leaf specimens to geological specimens. There was an insatiable desire to look and consider how they might exploit what was revealed to them.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on November 21, 2014 at 9:13am: Using art as therapy and visualising science
Over 40 pieces of work with a medical science theme are on display in an exhibition split between a small art gallery near St Thomas’ Hospital and inside the busy ground floor corridor of Guy’s Hospital, London. (The exhibition is supported by Guy’s and St Thomas’ Charity.) “Catharsis: a symbiosis of science and art” contains a mix of drawing, photography, painting and sculpture, and an interactive installation. The artists have different backgrounds, but all express an aspect of science through their art.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on November 21, 2014 at 7:33am: Residuals’ reflects everyday substances’ chemistry
In even the most tranquil art space, no one can hear the long-gone plant life scream. That’s one finding after Los Angeles artist Sean Raspet took a sampling of the atmosphere in Jessica Silverman Gallery, the site of “Residuals.”
The low-level airborne particles coming off wood, paint and building materials are just some of the elements that make up “Standard Recovery (GC/MS VOLATILES-WHOLE AIR: 37.784749 °; -122.414129 °).” As a part of the work, Raspet sampled Silverman Gallery’s air for a week, using a SUMMA canister, and sent the samples to a lab for a readout of the molecular compounds and ratios, which he then had microencapsulated into a scratch-and-sniff emulsion that he will paint on the gallery’s walls, floors, desks and surfaces.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on November 19, 2014 at 10:10am: Artist creates nanosculptures smaller than a human hair
Sculpted with an advanced new nano 3D printing technology coupled with a technique called multiphoton lithography, these works of art are created using a laser that uses the phenomenon of two photon absorption. In this way, an object is traced out by a laser in a block of light-sensitive monomer or polymer gel, and the excess is then washed away to leave a solid form.

As this method of two photon absorption only takes place at the tiny focal point of the laser, it essentially creates a tiny 3D pixel (a voxel) at that juncture. The laser is then moved along a fractional distance under computer control and the next voxel in the series is formed. In a long and painstaking process that takes place over many hours, the complete 3D sculpture is assembled voxel by voxel.
