Visual acuity

She insists, that viewers will no longer be confused about the purpose of artworks, and have biased false expectations; after getting exposed to contemporary arts. According to Jane Deeth, “Contemporary Art is not just a visual experience, but it has got much more to do with listening.” I support both the claims of Winterson and Deeth. Moreover, I believe that comprehending the storytelling of an art is a two-way process; we as viewers should be exposed to the language,…

The Limit and the Power of Representation It was in my sophomore year that for the first time I saw the movie, Hibiscus Town. Vividly imprinted in my mind are the two devastated souls cleaning up the street and their being condemned publicly against the wall full of propaganda scribbles in the Hibiscus Town. Indeed, this cinematic representation informed me of the knowledge I already or did not yet know about the Cultural Revolution—how irrational a political movement could become, and how…

Afra Ankita Class 625 EV3 Test 3 The threshold for white was any intensity above 95%. The threshold for black was any intensity below 6%. This is because the first white surface that was tested for its reflected light intensity turned out to be 95%. The second test for white was 100%, the third was 97%. All these tests were made by using “Port View” on the robot.“Port View” can be found by going to “Utilities” on the robot’s screen. Then going over to the port that the color sensor is connected…

To begin with, my view of art has changed, for I now know that it may not only be a painting or sculpture, but also a building design or a cultural artifact. Objects such as masks, pieces of clothing, and blueprints allow the audience to admire and realize that art has many forms and shapes which represent their heritage and importance in their time. For instance, the outstanding way that Jeff Koons demonstrates the importance of art and its surroundings with his artwork Puppy, located in Spain.…

In Witt, J. K., & Proffitt, D. R. (2005), the experiments assess whether the influence of effort on distance perception is generally or functionally specific. In the first three experiments, the effort for throwing was manipulated by having half of the participants throw a heavy ball and the other half throw a light ball. It was found that effort for throwing influenced verbal reports of distance as well as perceptual distance - matching tasks, but, effort for throwing did not influence…

Born in 1955 in Pennsylvania, Jeff Koons is a renowned American contemporary artist known for his practice of placing every day, ordinary objects in unique installations. Although he got his expertise in Baltimore at the Maryland Institute College of Art, where he obtained his M.F.A., he ended up transferring to the School of the Art Institution of Chicago after visiting and becoming inspired by an exhibit of Jim Nutt, who also attended the Art Institution on Chicago. He stated in an…

Locking eyes with a stranger across the room can easily be marginalized as an occurrence, which only holds weight in half baked romantic comedies. This particular sentiment could not be further from the truth, as gaze and gaze direction plays an integral role in our non-verbal communications with other humans. The reaction of an individual to eye contact or gaze usually depends on the mutuality of the eye contact, such as in positive cases involving sexual of personal interest, or negative…

In the short story “First Contact”, Leinster approaches the notion of ‘othering’ through the element, vision, and its related elements, light and darkness. According to Dr. Stephen E. Palmer’s textbook Vision Science: Photons to Phenomenology, “vision relies on three basic elements, adaptation, sensitivity, and perception”(5). Eyes adapt to various levels of light in order to sense and perceive any figures within the environment. As light decreases, the eyes adapt up to a point until the range…

The world looks different to me; flowers lack detail, all trees appear to be identical, and the fish in the sea are blurry to me. I was born with a rare eye disorder called Peters’ anomaly. Due to my visual impairment my view of the world, in actuality, is diverse. I might not have excellent vision with my eyes, but I have a different type of vision. I have a vision for innovation and creativity. The simplicity of everyday tasks for the average person is an obstacle for me that I have no option…

Art has been a part of human culture since the beginning of time. Starting as rudimentary paintings on cave walls, to today’s high tech computer designs. Art is a common thread all humans share in some way. For example, speaking the native Italian language of artist Leonardo DaVinci, is not required to see the mystery of Mona Lisa’s smile. A person doesn’t have to be of a certain religion to admire the beauty of Michelangelo’s murals in the Sistine Chapel. Art brings people together regardless…
