 Aesthetics: Philosophy of the Arts Key concepts: - In the 20th century an explosion of aesthetics began. It went from the expression theory of art to philosophers growing impatient with the definitions of art.  - Aesthetic is linked to society as a whole. This makes sense because as we evolve our ideas change and we learn new things which make us think differently.  - I think it is interesting that some people think tv is acknowledged as a medium. I understand that tv plays a whole role in our lives right now but I agree with the idea that it is not art. Tv is a way of getting information and entertainment. Not expressing oneself self like what art can do.  - At the end of the video the one man was talking about what effect does art has on someone in the long run? He mentioned how if someone likes something it can change their whole life. So does art do the same thing? I think it can. I certain piece of art can speak to someone so much that it could quite possibly change their lives.

intro questions

 1.) Setting up the gmail was easy since I already had another one set up. The Blod was also super easy to set up.  2.) I expect to learn the history of different art pieces and be able to look at the artwork and come to conclusions about it.  3.) I feel neutral about this class being online. I do prefer being in a classroom but with the crazy schedule I have this semester it works out better that this is online.  4.) I believe that pushing yourself in a class can only make you a better learner. I also liked how they brought up that mistakes are good and that you are going to fail at what you love sometimes. But that should never deter you from still going at it, mistakes make help you grow. Lastly, I enjoyed listening to the buffalo state students speak. I believe that getting involved will make your experience better here at Buffalo State.
