Understanding of works of art

1. For the YouTube video, the key concept is understand how the brain connects in some way to the creation of art. An individuals brain works in a way that helps people to come up with ideas for a painting. Each part of a persons brain is working in all different ways when they see a piece of art. In the CNN article is discuss similar things to the YouTube video, but it more talking about lines and faces, when we look around our surrounds we could see a wall, which has lines but if someone were to draw out the lines our brain would recognize both with or without the lines.

2.  I think that Plato makes great points to aesthetics, he looks at art in such a different way then I feel any other artist, he stated that artist copies an original idea, therefore when an artist has an idea and then expresses it via art, its a copy of the original copy. What I took from that, is that when you get an and then turn that into art its a copy of your own thoughts. I really like his way of thinking and think he does amazing work with his pieces of work.
3. I think that they both have very good views and points to their reasoning of how art pertains to science. Changuex believes thats genetics play a role in the evolutionary origins of art, he gave good detail as to how the human brain develops. Ramachandan is talking more about how art and science work together to evolve in the human brain. He made some good comments about how he looks at art and he almost picks it apart to show how amazing a piece of art can really be.
4. These videos and articles relate to the reading as they just go into more detail about aesthetics, along with the concept of how the brain relates to art and how the brain interrupts things.
5. I think that both the article and the videos help better to understand art not just from the artist point of view, but it helps me to see how the brain works to understand the art that is around us all the time.
