The site details out how the world has changed from simple design artists to technology savvy creative artists mixing science and technology with art. In fact there is a new term called Level Designers now who use their art forms together with latest technology to create some of the most gorgeous designs ever.

Art and science have been mixed for ages now and in fact they have enduring relationship since long back. They just naturally overlap.

Robert Eskridge introduces the broad subject of this course by providing a brief overview of how science and art have intersected since the 17th century. The art institute of Chicago brings together art and science in a unique way. Here you may also check out the public sculpture at the Adler Planetarium and Astronomy Museum.

A beautiful representation of how artists see their way of depicting their art forms is shown here. You will see and learn to recognize the marvels of science and art forms blended into one. While scientists were taking their first steps into art, a few artists took the opportunity to touch themselves on scientific issues.

Artisans decorated the octagonal Gunbad-i Kabud tower in Iran (c. 1197 AD) with incredibly complex geometric patterns. On other medieval Islamic buildings, the same tiles were used to create intricate patterns reflecting mathematics that had not been understood in the West until British physicist Roger Penrose studied them in the 1970s and 1980s. A paper published last week in Science was the first to make this connection.
