Art and Science are deeply connected throughout all aspects of society and life. Both of these fields allow us to explore the great questions that societies have faces throughout history, allowing not only for exploration into the who, what, when, where, and why, but also bringing light to new ideas and perspectives that previously were not thought of. The influence that these two fields hold on each other is astonishing, as throughout the many fields of both art and science, one is always able to find a part of the other that was affected by the prior. Things such as fractal design are not only displayed through the natural world of plants but are now influencing architectural stylings in the modern world.

I believe the intersection of art and science is that both goal to discover what we are thinking. However, the processes in which an artist and a scientist searches for answers varies. The curiosities of a scientist requires attention to detail as well as a systematic and well organized approach to isolate the issues they are attempting to solve. The curiosities of an artist also require great attention to detail and with a less obviously structured format that often try to express an idea or make others feel captivated. When discussing the intersection between these two field I think it is important to remember that an artist may use the problem solving skills of a scientist and a scientist my use the creative skills of an artist to accomplish there goals.

Science and art, although topics which may seem completely different from each other, actually have many similarities. For instance, both art and science arise from the concept of creativity. The invention of the lightbulb by Thomas Edison and the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci only came about because of the creativity and curiosity these men had in exploring these fields. Another way in which both are similar is that they rely heavily on interpretation, as both paintings and scientific discoveries can be analyzed in many different ways.

The intersection between art and science is very strong. One of the obvious examples of this connection is through music and sound. For the music of a violin to be created, the physics of moving a bow across the tightened wire strings must be applied. By doing so, it causes a vibration throughout the instrument which then passes through the air making noise. To change the pitch and create a new sound, different types of pressure is applied to each string to make a new noise, thus creating music. We can also find other intersections through design, architecture, paintings, and much more. This is because many aspects of art cannot be created without science, and aspects of science cannot be created without art.

The intersection of arts and science are seen in almost every field. Almost every science innovation have deep rooted artistic thoughts. For example- The field of architecture is a great combination of arts and science. The Greek architecture has a lot of math involved in it. In today’s sculptures math, science and art is always entwined. It is really fascinating to know their reasons and their creativity.

Art and science seem like two polar opposites. Science has to do with empirical data and art is dependent on creativeness, but there is a clear intersection between the two which can be seen throughout recorded history. For example, Leonardo Da Vinci of the Italian Renaissance was not only famous for his countless inventions, he was also famous for his modern day masterpieces like the Mona Lisa or The Last Supper. Another more modern example would be of Samuel Morse who co-developed the Morse code, which set the brickwork for modern day telegraphy. Morse was also a painter and his artistic skills were showcased in his patent designs.

Although art and science are considered to be opposites, I think that they go hand in hand. The two together allow for new ideas and perspectives to be thought of if they were not thought of before. Together they have the potential to create a better world. Architects have used circles, triangles, and rectangles to build structures that are both stable and aesthetically pleasing such as bridges. In addition, 3D printing also connects the two. Science has made it possible to make 3-dimensional objects rather than 2-dimensional ones that have to be put together to make something 3-dimensional. Before even printing something, one has to use their artistic side to design something that they want to print. Art and science have gone hand in hand for years and will only continue to grow together.

I believe that the intersection of art and science is one of the most important mixing of ideas in our society. The ability to analyze, and bring them together in a way that flatters both is an essential tool that creates an uncharted level of understand our world. Scientists have look at the world from a seemingly cold and calculated mindset, where as artists tend to open their minds to the possibility of the unknown, but both can appreciate the ability to learn more from what they discover. Bringing together art and science not only can unlock what we don’t know about how life works and exists, but can also deepen our understanding of the world as we already know it.

Art and science go hand in hand; without science, we would not have sculptures, statues, and other creations such as instruments. Without art, architects would not exist, and without architects, the Taj Mahal, the Great Wall of China, the Eiffel Tower, and other works of art would have never been built. Out lives without art, would include staring at bland buildings that would all have the same exact layout. Technology is still developing and the implementation of art will not only aid the development, but speed it up.

Although art and science are seemingly two very different disciplines., they share a cooperative bond between themselves. For one, science has grown so much even through what many call trivial in the broad term of science : aesthetics. As such, art acts more of a muse to science than as a crutch. Moreover, the “art” of science incorporates simple things like shapes and integrates these shapes into, say, an artwork that is both aesthetically pleasing and practical to use. Technologically speaking, the development of solar panels using this technique of creating a specific array of shapes- kirigami, impacts the panels by allowing them to optimize sun absorption. With respect to nature, we have things such as the Romanesco broccoli and snowflakes which exhibit the kaleidoscopic displays of fractals. There is more to science than the cold perspective many people have of it. As mentioned before, the “art” of science is the inspiration of the many advancements and discoveries we have today.

Art and science have a very strong relationship. At first, it’s not so clear because they have distinct tastes. But once you see the science and how some artists choose to focus on a specific part of the science, then the art becomes clear. It seems obvious that art and science belong together yet the result can still be awe-inspiring and stunning. I like how you can find art in things that you normally don’t think about. I enjoyed the video on the patterns of animal movements. The way he captured it with his camera by creating lines really showcased the relationship art and science have with each other. It’s something people don’t notice until it’s presented right at them. Some people can see the art in science and when they create their work, it makes it easier for everyone else to see. I look forward to see what other pieces of art people have made through different types of science.

In my own opinion，i think art and science are together，we can not separate them. It is the development of science and promote the development of art. Like Beethoven，not only he is a painter is also a scientist， he drawed the model of tank on the paper，and he is also one of the earliest scientists who study the human body structure. Like the below video，this beautiful dance is also established on the basis of science

Science and Art are deeply connected and for us to discover the nexus between these two seemingly uninterested topics is an important milestone in human understanding. Mathematical principles are deeply rooted in nature and many natural phenomena represent mathematical concepts. One of my favorite forms of art, Music, has many scientific applications with its chord tones, rhythmic intervals or other important concepts. As shown in this video, many of Beethoven’s greatest works are secretly based on math and precise scientific structures. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAxT0mRGuoY
I believe that the more I educate myself in either Science or Art, they are both related and will foster a strength in both subjects as I learn them.

The application of science to the aesthetic appeals of art can add a whole other dimension to the way we view pieces. Science allows us to add aspects to art that are unprecedented by earlier eras due to the broader view of how new technologies can enhance experiences. For example: it can provide a more precise syncopation of musical instruments and lighting or even the addition of newer instruments, such as synthesizers.

The relationship between art and science has various results in human society. Most of development of science has come up with the aspects of art. For instance, human can figure out this relationship in architecture, music, and other art works. When I went to the museum of Leonardo da Vinci, I could see his real art works that were related to scientific concepts such as self-propelled cart, aerial screw, and parachute. He drew the structure of a self-propelled cart on his notebooks and programmed it to be in real. He apparently decided his cart to be something of a toy and applied for making useful machine. There are a lot of intersection between art and science in human history from the past to present
