60-Second Syllabus: Your Brain on Art/nw.png?width=150&height=150 "nw.png")
About This Course:
In this class we will review those aspects of neurobiology that support a person's ability to appreciate aesthetic experiences (art for sure; sunsets, flowers, landscapes, architecture, food, etcetera).
What Will We Study?
We will study the history of art and of aesthetic theory with a mostly Eurocentric perspective given the available literature. We will also discuss evolution and its possible influence on art and aesthetics.
Why Should I Take This Class?
By taking this class I hope that you will develop a deep sense of how we experience the world, especially its beauty. You will also learn some basic neurobiology, a little bit of art and art history, each fascinating topics in their own right
