If you are wondering why science needs art, throughout human history, the interconnection between art and science has remained unchanged. So, that almost all the great men of the Renaissance period were scientists and artists at the same time.

Although the two majors are currently considered to be opposites, people only need to remember da Vinci’s name to see that science and art are not always clearly separated like the current study plan.

The collision between visual arts and the sciences

Artwork is a powerful tool for telling scientific stories. With the development of many scientific fields involving the most unfamiliar areas in the medical, pharmaceutical or molecular area, art can help us experience these unimaginable parts of the natural world, and make new scientific method provides enlightening discoveries.

Art can not only help society experience science but also help scientists understand the natural world. Many writers from both worlds, such as Jonah Lehrer, associate editor of the technology magazine Wired, insisted on restoring this relationship because “science needs art.” It turns out that art is more effective than science in providing explanations.

A historical example is Niels Bohr, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922 for his contributions to the study of atomic structure. Dane found inspiration in a Cubist painting, which recognized the dual nature of electrons as waves and particles.

This ability to pay close attention to patterns, shapes and spatial relationships helps scientists to correctly observe and discover the key pillars of the scientific process. It can also help them create clear visual effects for the collected data. Graphics, numbers, and scientific illustrations have an artistic sense, and their functions are more powerful. 

Many artists with a scientific spirit enter the field of scientific illustration, where they help document new scientific discoveries and make the abstract parts of science easier to interpret In turn, art connects scientists with their creativity and helps in the exchange of scientific processes and discoveries. 

By combining science with imagination and storytelling, art helps to create an inherent curiosity about the strangeness of the medical and pharmaceutical complicated process.

Why science needs art

Scientific illustration and animation skills enable pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to foster the ability of their scientific workers to communicate ideas through images.

Ultimately, illustration has been essential to the rise of science, acting as a tool for scientists to display their concepts and observations.

However, regardless of its use, scientific illustration has been crucial to teaching and learning – visualizations reach a wider audience than words and data. Images have the power to distill complex information into something easily understood, recognizes the demonstrative nature of illustration and its potential.
