A.) Which artworks make an impact or impression on me? Why? When i got into the art gallery the first work i noticed was Jonathan Rodgers self portrait of himself. It was like he was welcoming me into the gallery. Another work of Rodgers "self portrait #3"got me thinking why/what made him create this. they made a impact on me because it really drew my attention to the rest of the gallery. B.) Which artworks do I feel a connection with? Why? "route 33" or " Niagara  Falls" have a connection  with me because it reminded me of Buffalo and that being my home. C.) Which artworks would I like to know more about? Why?

My first picture "proportion" was when I went fishing with my friend to a local creek for smallmouth bass. The image with value was taken while riding four-wheelers in the evening in Lancaster, NY this week. The next image under contrast was from also four-wheeling Wednesday in Lockport, NY. Unity was a picture of my friends truck when we went mudding after the recent rain storm. Last weekend I made a trip down to my friends property for a day in Franklinville, NY and that is where i got my picture for texture. Emphasis was taken at Darien Lake State Park last weekend also. Color was taken last weekend when me and a friend walked out to the very end of Bird Island Pier to catch Smallmouth bass but ended wi...

1. Describe Color and it's effects on emotions. Use the appropriate vocabulary of color in your posting. Colors can have many different effects on each other. Light can have a drastic effect on the color of a painting. 2. What is a theoretical aspect of color that most intrigues/fascinates you? Why? The use of space heightens feelings. This intrigues me the most because art is supposed to draw feelings. 3. In the Color video, what made the biggest impact on you in regards to color and it's effects on emotions? The biggest impact the color video had on me was in Venice the color becomes very mobile and the whole city is like a piece of artwork. 4. In the Feelings video, what made the biggest impact on you in regards to color and it's effects on emotions?  The biggest impact from the feelings video was that art can do what textbooks cant and show what civilizations yearned for in the past.

1. For each video and article list/discuss the key concepts you learned. In Aesthetics: Philosophy of the Arts i learned that Plato explained that art was an act of treason and mistrusted poets because they often spoke of things they cant truly know about. Aristotle thought differently. In this video i also learned about the theory of aesthetic. in the presentation video on youtube i got a recent view of what people really think of art aesthetic and what their opinion was like about it.  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.  I feel Joseph Addisons (1672-1719) 18th century theory of aesthetics is most important because he was the one who started the beginning of the modern aesthetic theory with the book "On the Pleasures of the Imagination".  3. What do you think about Changeux and Ramachandran scien...
