1. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
In the video, "Aesthetics: Philosophy of Arts", the key concepts I learned the various viewpoints of different philosophers in history. The philosopher’s Kant, Hutchison, and Plato each had their perspective on aesthetics and what makes something beautiful. I found to be very interesting that as time passed so did the philosophers viewpoints however, they still shared a common knowledge of aesthetics. The individualization of these philosophers show how creative and unique their minds were.

In the video "CARTA: Neurobiology Neurology and Art and
Aesthetics", the key points I learned were the eight laws of art, the
affect on the brain that is caused by pieces of art, and Ramanchandrans
explanation of peak shift.
In the article, “What the brain draws from: Art and neuroscience”,
the key concepts learned are color vs. luminance, faces in art, shadows and
mirrors, and why as humans we like art.
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.
I believe that Hutchinson’s theory on aesthetics is the most important. He was an 18th century philosopher from England. Hutchison’s inquiry was concerned with beauty, order, harmony, and design. Morality was central to his work and his contemporaries. Hutchinson was also the first systematic philosophical of all time.
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?
Changeux and Ramachandran's scientific view of aesthetics and art were both very interesting. An interesting fact from Changeux's lectures was the Discovery of Art Composition regarding the Homo sapiens. He basically compared Homo sapiens to art and how their relevancy. I thought it was interesting how he spoke about artifacts being works of art.

Ramachandran's lecture was very interesting and informative. The
part that caught my attention me was how he said "works of art have such
an effect on the human mind". His eight laws of art had an impact as well
as, "art as metaphor" was very appealing.
Ramachadran and Changeux lectures were both very compelling and
made you think outside of the box. They both brought up some great points regarding
science and aesthetics.
4. How do the videos and article relate to the readings in the text?
The videos relate the readings in the text in various ways. The text and videos talk about the different components that make up the history of art. The article also relates to the text describes the view points of artists on their artwork and the videos describe the famous philosophers and speaker's viewpoints on art, science, and aesthetics. I found from reading and watching the videos, how aesthetics is so relevant in art.
5. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the topics in your reading in the text?
The films were a very interesting concept. It was interesting to hear viewpoints from other philosophers regarding art and aesthetics. It adds much depth to my understanding of the topics because it allows me to look art in a more unique way. It also gives me the advantage to understand what aesthetics is. Changuex and Ramachandran also gave interesting perspectives regarding and science and how it relates to art. All these elements help to create an expansion of view on art.
