Video Review

One of the key concepts I learned from the first video on aesthetics was form a philosopher of the 18th century, Imannuel Kant. His theory was on how there is no exact science of the beautiful. His made the most sense to me because not everyone will react the same or experience any one image the same way. In the second video however, I was not able to take much away from. I have a difficult time with accents, and his was very strong, so it was hard for me to focus on what he was saying. However, he did mention that we have a bottom up processing of visual images emotions and feelings. I never noticed before  now how true that is. Whenever I look at a picture of structure, my eyes always scan from the bottom to the top. As my eyes continue to move upward, the more the emoting  or feeling that object evokes in me increases or becomes stronger. The videos relate to the readings because they go into more depth on the origin and meaning of aesthetics. The first video is more about the theory and history of it, and the second takes more a scientific approach to break it all down. They were both definitely a great supplement to the chapters we read during the week.
