Creativity

and Science
Presented by: Alaa – Heba – Mariam Amr
Introduction
Art and science. To those who practice neither, they seem like
polar opposites, one data-driven, the other driven by emotion.
One is dominated by technical introverts, the other by
expressive eccentrics. For those of us involved in either field
today (and many of us have a hand in both), we know that the
similarities between how artists and scientists work far
outweigh their stereotypical differences.
01
Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was an Italian
artist most famous for his paintings of the Mona
Lisa and the Last Supper.
He studied science and used what he learned in his skills. He believed that studying science made him a
better artist. He studied science topics like anatomy, botany, zoology, and physics and drew pictures of
his scientific observations.

Samuel Morse
Samuel Morse
Morse trained under Benjamin West at London’s
Royal Academy of Arts and co-founded the
National Academy of Design in Manhattan, yet his
career as an artist is largely overshadowed by his
contributions to communications.
Morse Code
After his paintings failed to receive accolades in
America, Morse—who had studied philosophy and
math at Yale—turned to electromagnetics,
eventually creating the telegraph and Morse code.
Nevertheless, his ambitious Neoclassical-style works, like the six-by-nine-foot Gallery of the Louvre
(1831–33), and even his portraits of famous sitters like Eli Whitney and John Adams (which he
reluctantly created to support himself), are testaments to his well-honed skill.

Hedy Lamarr
Hedy Lamarr
Hedy Lamarr was an American actress and
inventor who pioneered the technology that would
one day form the basis for today’s WiFi, GPS, and
Bluetooth communication systems.
As a natural beauty seen widely on the big screen in films like Samson and Delilah and White
Cargo, society has long ignored her inventive genius. However, her most significant invention
was engineered as the United States geared up to enter World War II.
In 1940 Lamarr met George Antheil at a dinner party. The
two came up with an extraordinary new communication
system. The system involved the use of “frequency
hopping” to prevent the interception of the radio waves,
thereby allowing the torpedo to find its intended target.
