“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 February 3, 2016 at 8:07am: Art and Science Join Hands to Prevent Bird-Window Collisions
Lisa Johnson de Gordillo, assistant professor in Visual and Performing Arts, and her 2-D and 3-D design students, have been collaborating with the School of Forest Resources and Environmental Science for the past three semesters to develop possible strategies to prevent bird-window collisions on campus.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on January 30, 2016 at 9:00am: Next December, an art exhibit will be set up outdoors near a remote research site on the Western Antarctic Ice Sheet. Video showing the art as displayed against the endless white landscape will be made available online as a “virtual gallery.”

But before then, Alaskans will have a chance to view the exhibit -- the first-ever Antarctic Art Contest -- during Arctic Science Summit Week taking place at the University of Alaska Fairbanks in March.

The contest and the unconventional venue are the brainchild of Erin Pettit, a veteran Antarctic research scientist and associate professor of geosciences at UAF. Shortly before leaving Fairbanks for what is either her 13th or 14th trip to the southern continent, Pettit spoke about the connection between science and art. People often consider the two to be opposites, she said, but both “work on the edge of society’s comfort zone.”

“I use art to teach science,” she said.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on January 30, 2016 at 8:55am: Photographer Craig Ward: he found inspiration for his latest piece, which is making its way around the Internet, in the New York City subway system, in the form of microscopic organisms.

Inspired by a fellow photographer's print of cultivated bacteria that came from her son's handprint, the 34-year-old artist, based out of Brooklyn, N.Y., decided to create his own rendition from the popular (and notoriously dirty) transit service.

To collect samples, Ward used run-of-the-mill tools, like petri dishes, all in plain site of other commuters.

"As soon as you start taking out scientific equipment and petri dishes, people did start to look a bit," said Ward in an interview with New York Magazine. "But no one really challenged me. You can get away with most things on the subway."

The list of microbes that Ward picked up was less-than-appetizing, including Salmonella, E. coli, Proteus mirabilis (which causes kidney stones), Staphylococcus aureus (which causes myriad infections like sinusitis), Serratia marcescens (otherwise known as bathroom slime) and plain, run-of-the mill mold.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on January 30, 2016 at 8:52am: Leonardo da Vinci drew the machines of the future. He pencilled flying airships and helicopters hundreds of years before aviation became a reality and envisioned giant cannons and armoured tanks well ahead of their use in modern warfare.

It is these mechanical drawings that are to form the foundation of a major new exhibition at the Science Museum, celebrating the scientific genius of the Renaissance polymath.
Leonardo da Vinci: The Mechanics of Genius, which was first exhibited in Milan and then Munich, will focus on the skilled mechanical drawings sketched out by Leonardo over his lifetime, and display - together for the first time in the UK - 39 wooden models of his inventions, first built in Milan in 1952.

A smaller set of nine models, first built in the UK in the same year for a show at the Royal Academy (RA) will also open the exhibition. The RA show was the first to embrace Leonardo’s place in both the art and scientific world.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on January 27, 2016 at 8:17am: Merging art with science
Eleanor Gates-Stuart : She could never have envisaged that one day she’d lure crowds of hundreds of thousands to watch giant insects projected onto buildings in Canberra, for bringing about the production of perfectly scaled titanimum weevils, for fusing science, art and communication together in a riotous array of artworks, scientific papers and scientific collaborations.

And she probably never envisaged herself in Perth. But Dr Gates-Stuart is now Scitech’s 2016 artist in residence, during which she will offer a mesmerising installation that invites participants to ponder the mineral riches in WA’s Super Pit.
