Module 2

1.) first video - Artist's thoughts on their own art as well as art as a whole. How they saw philosophers and their views on art.

second video - human evolutionary processes, thinking and doing, developing. The way different brains see art, what comes to mind first.

2.) I've always enjoyed Plato's (4th century BC) theory of aesthetics the most because of the way he describes beauty; "there is a beauty by which all things are beautiful"

3.) Changeux mainly talks about human brain evolution through time along with how we perceive things differently than someone else might and how it affects our emotions. The most interesting fact to me was that everyone is affected by art differently, someone could look at a piece and feel sad while another feels hope.

Ramachandran talks about how artists have different ways to show different art themes. Cultures see realism differently. He talks about universal laws of art along with cultural differences related to art style.

4.) The article mostly relates to the second video because it discusses the way the brain sees lines and colors differently than others and how it's wired along with how we recognize and see faces in art.

5.) I enjoyed the videos and article because I've always been interested in the workings of the brain and through my high school years I did a lot of research on PTSD and other problems with the brain. It's always cool to read/watch things that aren't about brain "problems."
