    BLOG POST #1
    The three categories of Intellectual Standard that is shown in this video are depth, logic and accuracy. It showed in detail how art can help in everything. It can conjure strong emotions and deep thoughts, or simply dazzle us with its visual brilliance. Everyone’s reaction to art may be different, but its ability to impact us is unquestioned. Depth can mean the distance between the closest and farthest objects in a photo that appears acceptably sharp. What’s more, it can mean depth in thinking. Whenever you look at an art or a portrait you have to spend some time analyzing this piece of art as you are able to stimulate both unconscious and conscious brain functions. We’re able to recognize depth in this video as you look at Rene Magritte’s “Time Transfixed” you find out that there is a train whose origin and destination aren’t recognized which is emerging from the fireplace and the smoke from the locomotive appears to flow up the chimney. Where is the fire? What happened to the candles? Understanding how to look at art lets you make the most out of the experience by keeping your brain active and involved. This can be done by thinking about the piece, what it represents and what it says about the artist. The second thing we can figure out is logic. Each time you look at a piece of art, your brain is working to make sense of the visual information it’s receiving. From highly lifelike portraits to abstract collections of rectangles, looking at art stimulates the brain and puts our innate knack for organizing patterns and making sense of shapes to use. Lastly, accuracy is the last factor we’ll find in this video. It’s accurate that art can affect the human brain. Viewing, analyzing, and creating art stimulates the brain in substantial and long-lasting ways. Each time you look at a piece of art, your brain is working to make sense of the visual information it’s receiving. From highly lifelike portraits to abstract collections of rectangles, looking at art stimulates the brain and puts our innate knack for organizing patterns and making sense of shapes to use. Beyond the brain’s skill at making sense of what we’re seeing, the brain actually goes through changes when we look at a beautiful art piece.

    why art matters Blog Post #1

    The three categories of intellectual standard shown in the video why art matters are depth, significance, and relevance. It reminds us the importance and impact art has on our society and how we also tend to forget how art surrounds us. We are able to recognize the significance of art when it is mentioned by the first speaker that we live in a visual world. When you roam around New York City structures in awe, you don’t necessarily think of there purpose you just know that that building has rooms where people sit and either work or do there daily routines. We don’t think about who made these structures or what materials are used. We just know its purpose and don’t realize that architecture is a form of art. Art has an importance we all seem to take for granted without it we wouldn’t have four walls or the notion of what the luxury of an apartment is.
    Through Depth we realize how a piece of artwork can have a deeper meaning and express a different array of emotions for the one observing the piece and the one who created it. Another speaker mentions how it’s all about seeing beyond the first impression a piece gives you. How when you stop and take a breath you may notice a detail or two that you may have not seen before. For example, when looking at an abstract piece one may find it meaningless scribbles compared to what a portrait of someone may convey to them. But if given a closer look or by really absorbing its features it may pose some interesting questions. Like what was the artist feeling when they created this or what was they trying to communicate to their audience.
    As we sit back and think about the relevance of arts purpose. We notice how art shapes the world we created, how trains function, how blueprints are made, and how the art matters movement impacts how we communicate with each other. Art matters to the people because it allows us to evolve our way of thinking by producing perspectives and allowing everyone to have an opinion of it. By allowing everyone to communicate different points and come together to create discussion.
