“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.”

AXS Festival: Meet the artists hired by NASA to create space-inspired works
For the next two weeks, the AXS Festival in Pasadena will explore the intersection of art and science through talks, performances and installations.Among the works on display is a sculpture designed by a team of conceptual artists working for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
An Art-Science movementThe sort of collaboration happening at JPL is exactly what the AXS festival is hoping to inspire.
Curator Stephen Nowlin says for most of the last century art and science were kept separate, but over the last decade, a new "Art-Science" movement has brought them together.
"It just seems to have sort of emerged and exploded," he explained.
Nowlin works at Pasadena’s Art Center College of Design where he's organizing an Art-Science show at the Williamson Gallery.
"If anything science has made us more aware of what’s unknown, that attracts artists. They want to get in there and play around with these new ideas and make some sense of them."

Science meets art in the Waterhouse prize
Coming face to face with a miniature rhinoceros encased in wood and glass is bound to be provoke curiosity. Is it art, is it natural science, or is it both?For Waterhouse Natural Science Art Prize competition manager Tim Gilchrist, seeing visitors challenge their own ideas of science and art is what it's all about.
The competition's winners and highly commended pieces have travelled from the South Australian Museum to the National Archives for an exhibition of works ranging from the literal to the abstract.
"We find people engaging with all of them and saying, 'Why is that science?' and, 'How does that affect me, why is this important to me?'" Mr Gilchrist said.
"The messages that come through are varied, like the rhinoceros, it's a declining species nearing extinction but the artist can also just decide to portray the beauty of nature."
One of the 33 artists whose work is on display is ANU School of Art graduate Emilie Patteson, whose glasswork was highly commended.

Using chemistry to make otherworldly art
Artist Iori Tomita explores the natural art of the skeletal system by exploiting clever chemistry tricks.
Japanese artist Iori Tomita beautifully blends science and art in his series "New World Transparent Specimens" by chemically bleaching and then dying preserved animal bodies. The process uses a chemical mix that breaks down the proteins of the animal while leaving behind collagen that lets the body hold its form. Dyes are used to color the bones red and the tendons blue. When a properly prepared specimen is suspended in a tub of brightly-lit glycerin, the outer shape falls away to translucency, leaving behind all the form and structure of the skeletal system.http://www.mnn.com/lifestyle/arts-culture/blogs/using-chemistry-to-...

Artist Transforms Fungus into a New Building Material
Artist Phil Ross has discovered and created the world's next building material; fungus that can build furniture and small houses.Ross has been experimenting with fungus for his art works for a couple of decades. Apart from the length of his usage, the fungus material he concocts is also quite solid.
To create his building material, Ross introduced mushroom tissue into molds filled with pasteurized sawdust and allowing the fungus to digest the material.
The result is a sturdy material that is sustainable, having no chance of becoming depleted. It's capable of withstanding extreme temperatures and even bullets. When it's no longer needed, it can be used as compost.
Ross has created numerous works with this material -- from side-tables to beach lounge chairs -- that have found their way to museums and galleries around the world.
He only realized the real-world implications of his fungal material when he built a small teahouse from Reishi mushroom bricks at the Kunstshalle Düsseldorf. After guests sat in it, he boiled the mushroom bricks for tea, as well. He saw that it had numerous uses that could help people.
While his mycelial block materials can do a lot as a building material, Ross says there's still a stigma when it comes to fungus. People see fungus in a negative way since they see molds in breads, for example.
Every new technology requires a cultural paradigm shift, however.
One way this shift can take place is by understanding the capabilities of fungus.
Mycologist Paul Stamets says that a vegetative part of a fungus (the fungal mycelium) can spread, disseminate and distribute nutrients across vast distances. Stamets likens it to the structure of the Internet, and even the Universe itself.

3D trip around the body
http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/art-and-design/3d-trip-around-t...
It sounds like the stuff of science-fiction: a three-dimensional voyage through flesh-and-blood anatomy. Thanks to ground-breaking technology, it is possible at the UNSW Galleries.In an exhibition that skirts the boundary between art and science, visitors can use gaming devices – an X-Box controller and a virtual-reality headset – to navigate the body's super-highway, the aorta, sourced from real patient data.
