Week two

1. For each video and article list/discuss the key concepts you learned.

In the first video I learned that anything can be turned into art and that the artists back in time really took their work serious and also loved what they were creating. It helped me understand what was going on during these centuries and what they went through to show their work to others and what they came up with. 

In the second video I learned how science plays a huge part in how many artists used it to make their creations. 

2. Which philosopher's theory on aesthetics do you feel is most important? Be sure to mention the philosophers name, era (time in history), and contribution to the aesthetic theory in your response. 

Immanuel Kent I believe is the most important because he was the most inferential and it was in the eighteenth century. His contribution was that he argued that our judgement is that it enables us to have experiences of beauty and grasp those experiences as a part of order and purpose.

3. What do you think about Changeux and Ramachandran scientific view of aesthetics and art? What was the most interesting fact you discovered from each speakers lecture?

I thought their view was very interesting to learn about, homo Sapains was pretty cool because it was about people and how they were related to art. I believe that they talked from their heart and knew what they were talking about. 

4. How do the videos and article relate to the readings in the text?

They related in a couple different ways. Because they mostly all talked about the same things the two videos talk about and how art was related to all these different facts. And showed how the speakers knew what they were talking about. 

5. What is your opinion of the films and article? How do they add depth to understanding of the topics in your reading in the text?

I believe they gave me a different look on art and how its all related together with each other. There's different things that can be related together also. They go into depth on things that you wouldn't know about too.
