So i've been ready just a few chapters of this book, called Art and understanding. Ive almost hit a creative wall with my work, but hopefully I will soon snap out of it with the use of a couple of books. So I haven't read alot of it just a little so far and it been an insight to the visual world, how as a human being we view things. We don't just use our sight to have a connection with the objects that we are view and see on a daily basis, we uses all our sense to associate objects with the lables that we give them.
'Our Visual experience of an object is one line only, out other senses draw other lines to it, and at the heart of the intersecttion grows up our idea, what the object is to us.'
We have a slight understanding of what things are or what they are about but this does not all come down to the sense of sight, we use our memory of our other senses to associate an object with what it really actually is.
'...a violet may be conceived primarily as a smell which looks like that, rather than a flower which smells like this.'
