“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 Nobel Prize—Ideas Changing The World, an exhibition organized by the Sweden-based Nobel Museum. After travelling through Brazil and Sweden, the 100-plus exhibits are being showcased in New Delhi from Friday. The exhibits include historical artefacts, like the flasks used in his laboratory by Alfred Nobel—the inventor of dynamite and founder of the Nobel Prize—as well as modern-day objects like an insulin injection. Each has a backstory about a scientific discovery and its Nobel-laureate inventor. Some of these stories have been captured in touch-screen displays placed in each of the five sections of the exhibition. “There are many stories connected to the artefacts in the exhibition,”

Switzerland based photographer Fabian Oefner specializes in combining art and science. Here, you can watch him manipulate a ferrofluidic art piece (comprising oil, watercolor, and magnetic, nanoscale iron particles) commissioned by Guster for their forthcoming album, Evermotion.
Oil, watercolors and nanoscale iron particles make for some of the most psychedelic imagery this side of an LSD trip — and we've got the hi-res macro photographs to prove it.

Painter and photographer Diane Burko spoke Tuesday at the Visual Arts Complex about various geological phenomenons such as glaciers, waterfalls and volcanoes.
Burko explained her realization on how her art played a big part in geology as well as helped to represent the concern of glaciers melting. She showed the audience her paintings and explained what they meant to her and what they meant for art as well as science.
“There is an intersection between art and science, and artists today, we cross a lot of boundaries,” Burko said. “Scientific institutions, universities, museums, even think tanks recognize and welcome artists to communicate science for the public.”
She began painting geological sites such as the Grand Canyon, waterfalls and Yellowstone, and realized all of these locations had to do with geology. She then began to paint images such as glaciers, showing a picture of Glacier National Park from about 150 years ago.

Suffering for their art
A new exhibition compares depictions of military surgery now and 100 years ago
ENTERING the small room that houses “War, Art & Surgery” at the Hunterian Museum in London, the visitor encounters two images hung one above the other. On top, in sepia tones, is “The Birth of Plastic Surgery” (pictured), painted in 1916 by Henry Tonks; below, strikingly similar though tinted in the blues and greens of the modern operating theatre, is “Hands, hands, hands”, by Julia Midgley, a contemporary artist. Her work has been paired with Tonks’s in this thoughtful show marking the centenary of the start of the first world war. The public might be forgiven for growing a little weary of the anniversary, but here at the Royal College of Surgeons, the subject is approached in an unusual light.Tonks, who was a surgeon himself as well as a subtle and perceptive artist, was not indulging in hyperbole in his painting’s title. The image depicts the operating theatre of Harold Gillies, the pioneer of facial reconstructive surgery. The two first met at the Cambridge Military Hospital in Aldershot, where Gillies was developing the techniques that laid the foundation for modern surgeons’ ability to rebuild the human face, using as his subjects the young men who had been horribly disfigured in the trenches.
“The Birth of Plastic Surgery” gives way, in this exhibition, to a wall of the remarkable pastel drawings Tonks made of the soldiers’ injuries. (The exhibition catalogue also shows photographs of the wounded and the work performed on them; it, much more than the exhibition, is not for the faint of heart.)

As both a writer and a scientist, Hoffman said he is always trying to have work published.
“I was exposed to arts and humanities in college at Columbia and it took seed. Somehow I kept reading even though I was committed to chemistry,” he said. “I didn’t try to write a poem ’till I was 40. It took me seven years to get published. But the imperative to publish was from science.”
Hoffman added that his work in chemistry has also led him to publish work in philosophy journals, saying that the fields are interdisciplinary.
“I am inherently reflective about the sciences, so I always think about why we do what we do in science,” he said. “That has brought me into philosophy.”
Additionally, Hoffmann said he believes interdisciplinary work is important due to the overlap between the fields of art and science.
“[The world is] separated in a number of ways,” he said. “We compartmentalize our lives. The arts and sciences belong together.”

Art and science meet in the Boondoggler’s ‘Whack-job’
“Whack-job,” is an original work that mixes live performance with video, written by neurologist and playwright, James Jordan (MD, BFA) and directed by and starring, Dan Gildark."Whack-job" is not a typical play, mainly because while an audience member is enthralled by the theatrics, their brain waves and other physiological measurements are being recorded. It’s a multimedia comedy as well as a cognitive psychological experiment measuring audience attention using eye tracking, surveys, EEG (Electroencephalography), heart rate and other observations.
The experimental play will be performed at West of Lenin Theatre (203 N. 36th St), starting December 4 through 6 and 11 through 13 at 8 p.m. To prime spectators, a preview-show, followed by a discussion on “Cognition of Spectatorship,” will be December 3.
