Aesthetics

In the first video on aesthetics I learned about the different philosophers throughout history such as Plato and his theory on beauty and Alexander Baumgraten (from the renaissance) who actually brought up the concept of aesthetics who I also believe is one of the most important because he influenced Kant. In the second video I learned about what parts of the brain we use to be artistic and creative. In the article I learned an interesting fact that we make faces out, for example we know that this :) is a side ways happy face because our brain has a way of seeing facial features on things. He believed the most disgusting can be beautified. According to Changeus aesthetics comes from the pre frontal cortext. Ramachandran speaks about culture in art and how art is Universal. Culture plays a role in aesthetics what one fine beautiful might no be to the other. These videos relate to the text and the article because it talks about the foundation of aesthetics in different ways. The article and the video give a better example of aesthetics in a scientific and historic way.
