module #2

1. The article talks about the different styles of art an d how the brain perceives them based upon the artists styles used in the art. While both videos talk about the brain and how visual stimulation can change how the brain thinks and works. They also scanned the brain to see how different codes of art activate the brains different areas.

2. I feel Francis Hutchese of the 18h century was a great philosopher dealing with aesthetics. He believed that beauty was controlled through an external sense which was controlled by the inside that registered was pleasing to a viewers eye.

3. Changeux and Ramachandran had very great views of aesthetics and art by the amount of work they put in to understanding the brain and how it is affected by art. the most interesting thing was when they talked about the codes in art which gave the brain different feelings based upon the type of art was being viewed.

4. These readings and videos all relate to the text because of there talks on how art holds the power to please the eye, aesthetically. The eyes are where art is first interpreted and then the brain creates the feelings that the eyes see throughout the rest of the body.

5. Having the reading and videos along with the text really helps to create a deeper understanding of the text by having different views on the subject so that one can formulate their own conclusion of aesthetics and art. If we only had a text to learn from we would have to understand everything we were reading instead of getting different forms of ideas from credited scholars.
