AED 200- Module 2 Learning Art

1. In the videos I learned that there are a lot of different aspects of art that are very important . Lines are the first thing that an artist does but in the end you see none for the most part because the artist usually uses colors to make the outlining not so prevelent. In the video of neurology discussed about how the eye works and performs is the essence of how all the art is formed.

2. Platos thought of aesthetics is the most important to me because he not only discusses the fact the art needs to be beautiful but it also needs to be important to the society as a whole. Like for example the video was talking about a painting during a war. While this 14th century artist was not in good times the painting explains what really was happening then, so the end piece because now centuries later we can see this art and internalize it.

3.Changeux was very hard for me to get past his accent I listened to his video 3 times. All I could get from him was that there is conscience and non conscience looking at art, where you really understand the art and your brain is surprised and you will not be bored. Ramachandran was impressive to me the one aspect I got from his presentation was that he stated the charaicature is sometimes better for the brain to see the art better than the original photo.

4.the article and the videos tie in some aspects in the book reading as an example line and colors and shadows. They give more examples of these aspects of art.

5.I liked the first film about aesthetics because it really was interesting and went in depth about what it was and gave examples. The second film Changeux was very hard to understand so I didn't get very much from him but RAmachandran was actually very entertaining he was funny but very knowledgeable about Indian art. They added depth to the reading by teaching me how to look at are to be able to get the most out of it in your mind.
