Learning About Creativity, Philosophy of the Art, and Aesthetics
The video
“Aesthetics: Philosophy of the Arts” discusses how the idea of beauty has
transcended throughout time with many philosopher’s offering their perspective
on how beauty comes to mind when someone sees art.
The
philosopher’s theory on aesthetics that is the most important is of Immanuel
Kant from the 18th century. Kant mentioned that the beauty in art is
not governed by concepts, and beauty cannot be described specifically easily.
Each person has a different perception of beauty in art, and that is why there
are many different kinds of art with various themes.
The video
by CARTA discusses the research of neurobiologists on artistic creation. The
video talks about how the creativity comes from human experiences, and there is
evidence in history through making discoveries and using tools. Also,
aesthetics in art appeals us because of being beautiful but also unique.
In the
article “What the brain draws from: Art and neuroscience”, people’s perception
of art varies because of experiences, knowledge, and familiarity that they have
with the art. So when a person recognizes something familiar in art such as an
image of a face, it is easier for the brain to analyze the colors, lines, and
lighting.
The videos
and the article relates to the text by connecting the relationship of
philosophy and science with art and art history. The videos discuss the
philosophies of beauty in art, while the article discusses how the brain senses
art in different ways. They add more depth to the readings in the book by
providing examples in our society that are more relatable. For example, in the
CARTA video, the speaker talks about how we get aesthetic jolt by seeing
something beautiful and attractive to our eyes and minds. Similarly, aesthetics
in art brings the same feelings to the person.
