Module two's blog post

The main thing I learned from watching the videos, and articles were that aesthetics is a philosophical study of beauty and art. Many may have a different interpretation of what these aesthetics are, but they tie in together when beauty and art are being described. Art is something that teaches us what beauty is. When we see a sculpture, or painting we describe it as beautiful and this is something that teaches us how to appreciate the art work.

Out of all the philosophers theories on aesthetics the theory that I feel was most important was Platos (4th century B.C). He said "There is a beauty by which all things are beautiful." This is important because like I mentioned before art is described in all aspects of beautiful. A piece of hard can look grusome and gory, but it can still be viewed as beautiful because of the story that is told behind it.

I loved the way that Changeux, and Ramachandran described their definitions of aesthetics, and art. Changeux described aesthetics to be a something that humans produce to broadcast, symbols. This is something that can be used to teach us human different things. In Ramachandran's part, I found it interesting that in the beginning he was not interested in art, and did not develop a passion for it right away.

Modules 7's video reviews

In the prairie school clip, one of the key concepts that I learned was about architecture becoming a style. This was something that became natural to society, and this is what made it a style. In the second video architecture as art it was described that architecture was something that becomes a language that flourishes more and more as time goes on. This means that it becomes something that is used in the everyday life. The videos relate to the readings in the text because in the text the history of architecture and how the structures of buildings, and designing came about. In my opinions I think these films were very informative and they were able to explain to viewers more in-depth about architecture, and the background behind it. I loved it because construction interests me so I love learning more about those things. I chose the films that I watched by random selection. I didn’t know what exactly they would be about but I am glad I picked the ones that I did because t...

Module 4

My thoughts on creating a Value Scale are that I thought this project was creative, and cool. Before this class if someone were to ask me what a Value Scale was I would not be able to describe what that was. Now that I have created one I am able to explain the purpose of one, and what it can be used for. While creating the Color Wheel I was a bit challenged at first because I wasn't sure if I would make the colors correctly like it was shown in the video. After I had noticed that I did it correct, and it became fun to watch the colors blend together, and produce other colors. The media that I enjoyed working with the most was the color wheel. This is because it was more hands on involving the paint, and brushes. I like working with paint, and painting things and although we were not instructed to paint a object or create a picture with it, it was still fun to put the colors together, and see what can be created from that. In my opinion an important discovery that I ha...
