1. For each video and article list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
In Aesthetics: the Philosophy of the Arts, there were several key concepts that were identified as well as many keynote individuals who created the fundamentals of the word "Aesthetics" One such person was Alexander Baumgarten, who created the word, and the true meaning of how art must have a sense of beauty within it. It also shared how Emmanual Caunt expanded on Baumgartens philosophy
2. Which philosopher's theroy on aesthetics do you feel is most important? Be sure to mention the philosphers name, era (time in history), and contribution to the aesthetic theory in your response.
Within 18th century England, the proper form of aesthetics was founded, which was the first modern system of the art. This was believed to be founded within nature. Joseph Addison was considered to be one of the most influential people of aesthetics within papers he wrote concerning "the pleasures of imagination" which began the works of modern theories that we commonly use today.
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 found it particularly interesting how Changeux and Ramachandran discuss how art and science meet is within the human mind. I believe this is particularly important within art because when a person views art, it sparks a sense of passion and creativity within themselves, which in turns tend to create the desire to create art.
4. How do the videos and article relate to the readings in the text?
There were several points that were made in the videos that related to the text, however they were covered a lot more in depth through the video and with a visual presentation made understanding the dynamics of the points they made that much easier to understand
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?
While I did find the information very informative, I had to break these videos up into several sessions due to my busy schedule. I found it difficult to have practically two hours to dedicate to just watching the videos, however the visuals and descriptions provided were of great value in terms of information.
