week 7

This weeks lectures and readings are very similar to the study of psychology. This week we have integrated the fascinating aspects of the human mind with a more artistical view on it. The mind is made up of cortexes and lobes that each control a different part or function in our lives. The readings have connected the functions of the brain with certain artists styles and how they develop a certain image that they are known for. For example in music some musicians, usually the phenomenal ones, have some kind or form of mental disorder. These musicians are gifted naturally but it can almost be argued that their gift is escalated and they interpret things differently, which gives their music are different sound. So the same goes for artists and their paintings or artwork. They interpret life differently due to a complication in their frontal lobes or their cortex. They can feel things much stronger influencing their paintings to be more extreme or abstract. The connection between neurology and the mind with art and its creativity is something that goes hand in hand. As our knowledge of the entirety of what the mind and its connection with the body can do the more we can expand and broaden our definition and interpretation of art.
