| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is art? | no definition of art, but rather a field of "Art Theory" |
| art involves | intentional expression-translating thoughts, feelings or observations into a medium for others to perceive |
| Art has many purposes | 1. Creating beauty and aesthetic spaces 2.Provoking a reaction by challenging perspectives 3. Preserving or commemorating an important event, person, place or idea |
| What are the 4 key dimensions of art? | Type of Medium Durability and Persistence Sensory Engagement Realism |
| Type of Medium | sculpture, music, writing, performance, painting, drawing, computer, animation, film, architecture |
| Durability and Persistence | permanent (bronze status, oil paintings), ephemeral (ice sculptures, performance art), or living/evolving (bonsai trees, interactive artwork) |
| Sensory Engagement | while most art has a visual component, it can engage any combination of the senses |
| Realism | art can be highly realistic or deviate from realism and become representational (like a cartoon), or depart entirely from realism and be abstract |
| Art depends on | cultures, tech., and freedom |
| Art draws on | cultural knowledge like myth, language, customs, style of dress, and prevailing ideas |
| Art depends on technologies like | what colors are available in your paint |
| Art depends on artist who can | learn techniques, work freely, and show their work |
| What is Psych? | the study of individuals peoples' affects, behavior, and cognition (mind), and how they are instantiated in the brain -it is a science |
| The United States National Science Foundation calls psych a | hub science because it is foundational to many other sciences |
| Scientific Evidence | science requires observations that are recorded (data) and conclusions drawn from data (analyses) |
| Science needs to be | replicable and falsifiable |
| Replicable | others must be able to test your results |
| Falsifiable | make predictions that aren't likely to be true if the theory isn't |
| 4 types of scientific evidence | 1. Case studies 2. Historiometric (or Archival) methods 3. Correlational methods 4. Experimental methods |
| Case study | studying a single person to see how they do things |
| Historiometric | using historical data from biographies or other public sources to test hypotheses |
| Correlational Methods | assess variables and see if they are statistically related |
| Experimental methods | generally, the way to untangle cause and effect |
| Identifying Causality: 3 requirements | 1. cause and effect should be correlated 2. temporal precedence: causes precede effects 3. no "3rd variable" problem |
| A psychological approach depends on | science and evidence |
