2016-06-01

Full Text Available In Malaysia, there is a question in term of intellectualism activities in the context of visual epistemology. Therefore, this paper revealed the problems that linger in the Malaysian contemporary visual art scene. In fact, Malaysian contemporary artists appear to have insufficient intellectualism values and less discourse activities. The lacks of scholars in the field of visual arts create a gap in the visual arts scene in Malaysia. The question of this study was to uncover the main problems in Malaysian visual arts that led to the problem of art intellectual development. In addition, this paper presents the awareness of the valuable contributions in the intellectual development that able to enhance the communication in the art object.Keywords: art knowledge; art object; contemporary art; interpretation; perception;

Occupational Health and the Visual Arts: An Introduction.

2017-09-01

Occupational hazards in the visual arts often involve hazardous materials, though hazardous equipment and hazardous work conditions can also be found. Occupational health professionals are familiar with most of these hazards and are particularly qualified to contribute clinical and preventive expertise to these issues. Articles illustrating visual arts health issues were sought and reviewed. Literature sources included medical databases, unindexed art-health publications, and popular press articles. Few medical articles examine health issues in the visuals arts directly, but exposures to pigments, solvents, and other hazards found in the visual arts are well described. The hierarchy of controls is an appropriate model for controlling hazards and promoting safer visual art workplaces. The health and safety of those working in the visual arts can benefit from the occupational health approach. Sources of further information are available.

Art for reward's sake: visual art recruits the ventral striatum.

Lacey, Simon; Hagtvedt, Henrik; Patrick, Vanessa M; Anderson, Amy; Stilla, Randall; Deshpande, Gopikrishna; Hu, Xiaoping; Sato, João R; Reddy, Srinivas; Sathian, K

A recent study showed that people evaluate products more positively when they are physically associated with art images than similar non-art images. Neuroimaging studies of visual art have investigated artistic style and esthetic preference but not brain responses attributable specifically to the artistic status of images. Here we tested the hypothesis that the artistic status of images engages reward circuitry, using event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during viewing of art and non-art images matched for content. Subjects made animacy judgments in response to each image. Relative to non-art images, art images activated, on both subject- and item-wise analyses, reward-related regions: the ventral striatum, hypothalamus and orbitofrontal cortex. Neither response times nor ratings of familiarity or esthetic preference for art images correlated significantly with activity that was selective for art images, suggesting that these variables were not responsible for the art-selective activations. Investigation of effective connectivity, using time-varying, wavelet-based, correlation-purged Granger causality analyses, further showed that the ventral striatum was driven by visual cortical regions when viewing art images but not non-art images, and was not driven by regions that correlated with esthetic preference for either art or non-art images. These findings are consistent with our hypothesis, leading us to propose that the appeal of visual art involves activation of reward circuitry based on artistic status alone and independently of its hedonic value.

Visual art represents a powerful resource for mental and physical well-being. However, little is known about the underlying effects at a neural level. A critical question is whether visual art production and cognitive art evaluation may have different effects on the functional interplay of the brain's default mode network (DMN). We used fMRI to investigate the DMN of a non-clinical sample of 28 post-retirement adults (63.71 years ±3.52 SD) before (T0) and after (T1) weekly participation in two different 10-week-long art interventions. Participants were randomly assigned to groups stratified by gender and age. In the visual art production group 14 participants actively produced art in an art class. In the cognitive art evaluation group 14 participants cognitively evaluated artwork at a museum. The DMN of both groups was identified by using a seed voxel correlation analysis (SCA) in the posterior cingulated cortex (PCC/preCUN). An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was employed to relate fMRI data to psychological resilience which was measured with the brief German counterpart of the Resilience Scale (RS-11). We observed that the visual art production group showed greater spatial improvement in functional connectivity of PCC/preCUN to the frontal and parietal cortices from T0 to T1 than the cognitive art evaluation group. Moreover, the functional connectivity in the visual art production group was related to psychological resilience (i.e., stress resistance) at T1. Our findings are the first to demonstrate the neural effects of visual art production on psychological resilience in adulthood.

En consecuencia, la innovación en la educación está estrechamente ligada con la calidad de sus edificios y espacios asociados. Estos principios apoyan una idea trascendental: los valores culturales y artísticos de un campus (arquitectura, naturaleza, obras de arte deben ser proyectados internamente y externamente como paradigmas para la comunidad universitaria y la sociedad en general, ya que tienen el potencial para enriquecer a docentes y procesos de aprendizaje. Los planificadores encargados de la concepción de cualquier campus deben ser conscientes de la trascendencia de tal misión. Es necesario subrayar el papel clave que los espacios físicos tienen que jugar en la evolución de las universidades a la innovación, cuando reciban el contacto humano necesario para lograr la verdadera misión de las universidades: la formación integral del ser humano. El diseño de cualquier futura sede de la Universidad debe ser impulsado por un objetivo de excelencia; para tal propósito fundamental, este trabajo traza la innovadora filosofía «Educational Campus», como una herramienta conceptual y operativa para promover la modernización de las universidades; como paradigma moderno, se puede aplicar para alentar y orientar los procesos de transformación positiva de las Instituciones de Educación Superior.

Artful terms: A study on aesthetic word usage for visual art versus film and music

Science.gov (United States)

Augustin, M Dorothee; Carbon, Claus-Christian; Wagemans, Johan

2012-01-01

Despite the importance of the arts in human life, psychologists still know relatively little about what characterises their experience for the recipient. The current research approaches this problem by studying people's word usage in aesthetics, with a focus on three important art forms: visual art, film, and music. The starting point was a list of 77 words known to be useful to describe aesthetic impressions of visual art (Augustin et al 2012, Acta Psychologica 139 187–201). Focusing on ratings of likelihood of use, we examined to what extent word usage in aesthetic descriptions of visual art can be generalised to film and music. The results support the claim of an interplay of generality and specificity in aesthetic word usage. Terms with equal likelihood of use for all art forms included beautiful, wonderful, and terms denoting originality. Importantly, emotion-related words received higher ratings for film and music than for visual art. To our knowledge this is direct evidence that aesthetic experiences of visual art may be less affectively loaded than, for example, experiences of music. The results render important information about aesthetic word usage in the realm of the arts and may serve as a starting point to develop tailored measurement instruments for different art forms.

Espacios del arte y el acecho de un fin: transitividad, porosidad y desaparición

2014-12-01

Full Text Available Ante la interrogante sobre el agotamiento o fin del arte en la posmodernidad, y el creciente dinamismo y porosidad de sus espacios, se propone la idea de fenómenos "en tránsito", donde la finitud sería reflejo de una crisis, pero también, el input para un nuevo estatuto estético y museológico. El fundamento estaría en la existencia de un tipo de arte y una estética de naturaleza topológica caracterizados por el desplazamiento, tal como lo propone Nicolas Bourriaud, y el museo como catástrofe o ruina planteado por Víctor Stoichita y Jean-Louis Déotte. Estos marcos especulativos se pondrán en tensión con dos proyectos que plantean un vaivén entre lo material y lo inmaterial que es mediado por el lenguaje, así como la literal errancia de los proyectos.

2. The Openness of the Visual Art Curriculum towards a New Visual Art Language

2016-03-01

Full Text Available Visual art curriculum should allow a wide range of activities to develop children's imagination and creativity, to provide a balanced framework for the harmonious development of people who can cope with the massive ammount of images that invade our daily lives. Contemporary art develops a new language - a hybrid language - which for now remains unknown to the majority of the public and it is not integrated into the Arts curriculum. General frame analysis reveals that Fine Arts are studied only up to the 10th grade, except for the humanity profile and for the vocational arts profile. School curricula stipulate fine arts study up to mid twentieth century. Openness towards contemporary art and the language of art starting with the second half of the twentieth century is quite limited even if the curriculum allows a certain flexibility in the approach.

Britt-Maj Wikström

2011-01-01

Full Text Available Objectives. Given that hospitals have environmental enrichment with paintings and visual art arrangement, it would be meaningful to develop and document how hospital art could be used by health professionals. Methods. The study was undertaken at an art site in Sweden. During 1-hour sessions, participants (=20 get together in an art gallery every second week five times. Results. According to the participants a new value was perceived. From qualitative analyses, three themes appear: raise association, mentally present, and door-opener. In addition 72% of the participants reported makes me happy and gives energy and inspiration, and 52% reported that dialogues increase inspiration, make you involved, and stimulate curiosity. Conclusion. The present study supported the view that visual art dialogue could be used by health care professionals in a structured manner and that meaningful art stimulation, related to a person’s experiences, could be of importance for the patients. Implementing art dialogues in hospital settings could be a fruitful working tool for nurses, a complementary manner of patient communication.

Led by members of UC Berkeley's Multiverse education team at the Space Sciences Laboratory (http://multiverse.ssl.berkeley.edu/), in partnership with UC Berkeley Astronomy, NASA Opportunities in Visualization, Art and Science (NOVAS) is a NASA-funded program mainly for high school students that explores NASA science through art and highlights the need for and uses of art and visualizations in science. The project's aim is to motivate more diverse young people (especially African Americans) to consider Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) careers. The program offers intensive summer workshops at community youth centers, afterschool workshops at a local high school, a year-round internship for those who have taken part in one or more of our workshops, public and school outreach, and educator professional development workshops. By adding Art (fine art, graphic art, multimedia, design, and "maker/tinkering" approaches) to STEM learning, we wanted to try a unique combination of what's often now called the "STEAM movement" in STEM education. We've paid particular attention to highlighting how scientists and artists/tinkerers often collaborate, and why scientists need visualization and design experts. The program values the rise of the STEAM teaching concept, particularly that art, multimedia, design, and maker projects can help communicate science concepts more effectively. We also promote the fact that art, design, and visualization skills can lead to jobs and broader participation in science, and we frequently work with and showcase scientific illustrators and other science visualization professionals. This presentation will highlight the significant findings from our multi-year program.

Monique Biscombe

2017-04-01

Full Text Available In the political, social, cultural and economic context of South Africa, higher education spaces provide fertile ground for social research. This case study explored “othered” identities in the Department of Visual Arts of Stellenbosch University. Interviews with students and lecturers revealed interesting and controversial aspects in terms of their experiences in the Department of Visual Arts. Theoretical perspectives such as “othering”, symbolic racism, the racialised body and visual art theory were used to interpret these experiences. It was found that “othering” because of indirect racism and language or economic circumstances affects students’ creative expression. Causes of “othering” experiences should be investigated in order to promote necessary transformation within the visual arts and within higher education institutions.

Full Text Available This article aims to show how the space for leisure practices in the art sector is a political construction. To do this, the essay focuses on public (art audience as key concept. It argues that art audiences are critically engaged and politically significant communities, through which each society gives an institutional dimension to cultural practices. In dialogue with modern thinkers such as Adorno, Baudrillard, Warburg and Benjamin, or architects like Rem Koolhaas, the article presents audiences and publics from both a social and institutional points of view, understanding that the temporal and spatial dynamics behind their community boundaries are worth exploring. We think that there are at least two dominant forms of an emerging social rhetoric that are producing innovative ways of building the spaces for consuming cultural offer in the late modern society: we call them rhetorics of convergence and rhetorics of persuation.

Paintings made by the students in the initial and final stage of the pedagogical experiment were evaluated. The research results confirmed the hypotheses about the positive effect of interactive approaches to learning and teaching on the following variables: (1 knowledge and understanding of visual arts terms, (2 abilities and skills in the use of art materials and techniques within the framework of planned painting tasks, and (3 creativity in solving visual arts problems. The research results can help shape an optimised model for the planning and performance of visual arts education, and provide guidelines for planning professional development and the further professional education of teachers, with the aim of establishing more efficient learning and teaching of the visual arts in primary school.

Full Text Available This paper presents and justifies the content worked in the extension course "The Visual Arts as a field of knowledge," which was sponsored by the Departamento Artístico Cultural – DAC/ UFSC, within the project "Arte na Escola". The course was directed at teachers of Art and also received other stakeholders in the study of Visual Arts, focusing on contemporary art. Art is justified as a field of knowledge in that, throughout its history, many have been developed knowledge, technologies and expertise applied to the development of artistic activities. In addition, each work of art represents a unique and innovative testimony of their time and offers a new set of knowledge, which broadens the cultural heritage of humanity. Finally, knowledge and artistic products are also applied in developing other areas of knowledge.

Visual art is an expression of neurological function and how it organizes and interprets perception. The art is predominantly in the right hemisphere, in contrast, the left side, have inhibitory effects on artistic expression. In normal subjects, inhibitory and excitatory mechanisms could interact in a complex harmony, reflecting a paradoxical functional facilitation. Brain diseases such as dementia could change this harmony and then, alter the artistic abilities. Evaluate the art expression in the degenerative diseases. Artistic abilities of 3 painters with degenerative diseases were assessment. Patient 1: A 83 - year old right handed female, diagnosis: Alzheimer's disease. Artistic description: low productivity, simplified versions of earlier and alteration of the visuospatial organization. Patient 2: A 78-year-old right handed female, diagnosis: Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA); Artistic description: oversimplified drawings which maintaining overall spatial organization, without impair artistic skills. Patient 3: A 68 year-old right handed woman, diagnosis: Fronto-Temporal Dementia (FTD). Artistic description: Increased artistic activity, originality, freedom, utilization of intense colours with perseverative and repetitive copying of similar paintings of her own work. Visual art in Alzheimer's disease is a consequence of visuospatial and constructive disabilities. In contrast, the conservation of this cognitive functions and left asymmetrical involved, in FTD and PPA respectively, suggest artistic preservation, independently of the language injury. The disproportionate functional prevalence of the right over the left could lead to a release of novelty - seeking in art and can contribute to emergent creativity. These observations suggest an organization for art in the brain and proposed bases for further investigations in dementias.

Full Text Available En las ciudades mexicanas la transformación de los espacios públicos y la incorporación de arte están estrechamente ligadas a los períodos en donde quien dirige establece posiciones radicales que determinan aspectos de índole social hasta urbanos que impactan en la forma de hacer ciudad, uno de los ejemplos fueron las dictaduras, entendiéndolas como una forma de gobierno con una visión unilateral o unipartidista, que marcaron los pensamientos de quien ejerció su poder sobre el país marcando periodos o transiciones que de alguna manera replanteaban las ciudades. Las transiciones o cambios sufridos se pueden visualizar en el siglo XX con el régimen de Porfirio Díaz, que duró más de treinta años, en donde el país se vio impactado por la industrialización y la introducción de arte y arquitectura de tipo ecléctica, al periodo de la revolución en donde se quería despojar un régimen autoritario y buscar una identidad, hecho que encaminó la proclamación de la Constitución (1917, posteriormente en 1929 la permanencia de un partido político, que permaneció setenta años en la presidencia, el cual se desgastó en conmemorar a personajes de la política en parques y jardines, hasta la denominada alternancia signo de una aparente democracia. Todos estos periodos han caracterizado a México y sus espacios abiertos, incluidas las actividades sociales. El presente trabajo aborda el estudio del espacio público que se desarrolló durante el siglo XX impactado por las dictaduras tanto oficiales como las no oficiales definidas en tres momentos, en un primer ciclo con el gobierno porfirista, seguido de la etapa postrevolucionaria o constitucionalista y el último caracterizado por una visión unipartidista con la entrada de el PNR1 posteriormente PRI2.

VISUAL ART AND REGULATORY FIT MESSAGES ON CONSUMER EVALUATIONS

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Danielle Mantovani

2016-03-01

Full Text Available In this study, we demonstrate that the art infusion effect, in which the presence of visual art causes a positive impact on consumers’ perceptions of products and advertising messages, might have a moderation effect on regulatory fit and non-fit messages. We investigate the impact of visual art on advertisement evaluations in regulatory (non- fit conditions. Regulatory focus theory suggests that consumers rely on their motivational focus (prevention vs. promotion for their evaluations and decisions. Usually, consumers prefer products that fit with their personal motivational focus. In the present study, the results of three experiments indicate that using visual art with a promotion or prevention fit message is recommended, while non-art images increase message persuasiveness when non-fit messages are presented. Therefore, not all information compatible with the consumer’s motivational focus are best evaluated. When non-art images are presented, non-fit messages might be more persuasive.

Statistical regularities in art: Relations with visual coding and perception.

Science.gov (United States)

Graham, Daniel J; Redies, Christoph

2010-07-21

Since at least 1935, vision researchers have used art stimuli to test human response to complex scenes. This is sensible given the "inherent interestingness" of art and its relation to the natural visual world. The use of art stimuli has remained popular, especially in eye tracking studies. Moreover, stimuli in common use by vision scientists are inspired by the work of famous artists (e.g., Mondrians). Artworks are also popular in vision science as illustrations of a host of visual phenomena, such as depth cues and surface properties. However, until recently, there has been scant consideration of the spatial, luminance, and color statistics of artwork, and even less study of ways that regularities in such statistics could affect visual processing. Furthermore, the relationship between regularities in art images and those in natural scenes has received little or no attention. In the past few years, there has been a concerted effort to study statistical regularities in art as they relate to neural coding and visual perception, and art stimuli have begun to be studied in rigorous ways, as natural scenes have been. In this minireview, we summarize quantitative studies of links between regular statistics in artwork and processing in the visual stream. The results of these studies suggest that art is especially germane to understanding human visual coding and perception, and it therefore warrants wider study. Copyright 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

Full Text Available Art education is thought to be quite an important factor in helping students find their own selves. Guiding students to help them determine their skills at an early age and to take education in the fields appropriate to their skills is the key to children’s success in their professional lives. The purpose of this study was to determine secondary school students’ attitudes towards Visual Arts Education. In order to collect the research data, “Attitude Scale towards the Course of Art and Drawing on the Basis of Multi-Field Art Education Method” developed by Orhun (2003 was used. The data were analyzed with the package software of SPSS 18. The participants in the study were 350 students from eight secondary schools located in two districts of the city of Diyarbakır. The results revealed that there were significant differences in the students’ attitudes towards the Visual Arts Course with respect to their gender, computer use and having family members interested in visual arts. On the other hand, no significant difference was found in relation to the students’ ages, their parents’ educational backgrounds or use of the Internet for the Visual Arts Course.

Visualizing Geoscience Concepts Through Textbook Art (Invited)

Science.gov (United States)

Marshak, S.

2013-12-01

Many, if not most, college students taking an introductory geoscience course purchase, borrow, download, or rent one of several commercial textbooks currently available. Art used in such books has evolved significantly over the past three decades. Concepts once conveyed only by black-and-white line drawings, drawn by hand in ink, have gradually been replaced by full-color images produced digitally. Multiple high-end graphics programs, when used in combination, can yield images with super-realistic textures and palettes so that, in effect, anything that a book author wants to be drawn can be drawn. Because of the time and skill level involved in producing the art, the process commonly involves professional artists. In order to produce high-quality geoscience art that can help students (who are, by definition, non-experts) understand concepts, develop geoscience intuition, and hone their spatial-visualization skills, an author must address two problems. First, design a figure which can convey complex concepts through visual elements that resonate with students. Second, communicate the concepts to a professional artist who does not necessarily have personal expertise in geoscience, so that the figure rendered is both technically correct and visually engaging. The ultimate goal of geoscience art in textbooks is to produce an image that avoids unnecessary complexity that could distract from the art's theme, includes sufficient realism for a non-expert to relate the image to the real world, provides a personal context in which to interpret the figure, and has a layout that conveys relationships among multiple components of the art so that the art tells a coherent story. To accomplish this goal, a chain of choices--about perspective, sizes, colors, texture, labeling, captioning, line widths, and fonts--must be made in collaboration between the author and artist. In the new world of computer-aided learning, figures must also be able to work both on the computer screen and

Art as behaviour--an ethological approach to visual and verbal art, music and architecture.

Science.gov (United States)

Sütterlin, Christa; Schiefenhövel, Wulf; Lehmann, Christian; Forster, Johanna; Apfelauer, Gerhard

2014-01-01

In recent years, the fine arts, architecture, music and literature have increasingly been examined from the vantage point of human ethology and evolutionary psychology. In 2011 the authors formed the research group 'Ethology of the Arts' concentrating on the evolution and biology of perception and behaviour. These novel approaches aim at a better understanding of the various facets represented by the arts by taking into focus possible phylogenetic adaptations, which have shaped the artistic capacities of our ancestors. Rather than culture specificity, which is stressed e.g. by cultural anthropology and numerous other disciplines, universal human tendencies to perceive, feel, think and behave are postulated. Artistic expressive behaviour is understood as an integral part of the human condition, whether expressed in ritual, visual, verbal or musical art. The Ethology of the Arts-group's research focuses on visual and verbal art, music and built environment/architecture and is designed to contribute to the incipient interdisciplinarity in the field of evolutionary art research.

Eye Movement Correlates of Expertise in Visual Arts.

The aim of this study was to search for oculomotor correlates of expertise in visual arts, in particular with regard to paintings. Achieving this goal was possible by gathering data on eye movements of two groups of participants: experts and non-experts in visual arts who viewed and appreciated the aesthetics of paintings. In particular, we were interested in whether visual arts experts more accurately recognize a balanced composition in one of the two paintings being compared simultaneously, and whether people who correctly recognize harmonious paintings are characterized by a different visual scanning strategy than those who do not recognize them. For the purposes of this study, 25 paintings with an almost ideal balanced composition have been chosen. Some of these paintings are masterpieces of the world cultural heritage, and some of them are unknown. Using Photoshop, the artist developed three additional versions of each of these paintings, differing from the original in the degree of destruction of its harmonious composition: slight, moderate, or significant. The task of the participants was to look at all versions of the same painting in pairs (including the original) and decide which of them looked more pleasing. The study involved 23 experts in art, students of art history, art education or the Academy of Fine Arts, and 19 non-experts, students in the social sciences and the humanities. The experimental manipulation of comparing pairs of paintings, whose composition is at different levels of harmony, has proved to be an effective tool for differentiating people because of their ability to distinguish paintings with balanced composition from an unbalanced one. It turned out that this ability only partly coincides with expertise understood as the effect of education in the field of visual arts. We also found that the eye movements of people who more accurately appreciated paintings with balanced composition differ from those who more liked their altered

This Taiwan study investigated the effect of a visual art-based friendly environment on nursing home residents' satisfaction with their living environment. A pre-experimental design was used. Thirty-three residents in a nursing home were recruited in a one-group pre- and post-test study. The four-floor living environment was integrated using visual art, reminiscence, and gardening based on the local culture and history. Each floor was given a different theme, one that was familiar to most of the residents on the floor. The Satisfaction with Living Environment at Nursing Home Scale (SLE-NHS) was developed to measure outcomes. Of the 33 participants recruited, 27 (81.8%) were women and 6 (18.2%) were men. Their mean age was 79.24 ± 7.40 years, and 48.5% were severely dependent in activities of daily living. The SLE-NHS showed adequate reliability and validity. Its three domains were generated and defined using factor analysis. After the visual art-based intervention, the score on the "recalling old memories" subscale was significantly higher (t = -13.32, p Visual art in a nursing home is a novel method for representing the local culture and stressing the spiritual value of the elderly residents who helped create it. Older adults' aesthetic activities through visual art, including reminiscence and local culture, may enrich their spirits in later life. Older adults' aesthetic activities through visual art have been shown to improve their satisfaction with their living environment.

Marijana Županić Benić

2016-12-01

Full Text Available Arts research was introduced in the field of education during the 1990s by Barone and Eisner, but their methodology is rarely used because it is not considered to be consistent with traditional paradigms of the scientific method. This review identified only seven visual arts research studies in early childhood education and primary education. Four studies were conducted in early childhood education settings, and two of those studies used quantitative methods to investigate the effects of art on early childhood development. The three studies that were conducted in primary education used a case study approach to examine art projects in the community or the classroom. Participation in visual arts was associated with enhanced learning outcomes in other areas and the development of individual and social competences, but it was not found to facilitate the development of age-dependent abilities, such as visual or grapho-motor abilities. Visual arts also proved to be an effective method of communication for children in preschool and primary education institutions because it is easier for them to express their opinions and beliefs to adults with visual media than with words.

2015-12-01

Full Text Available This article presents preschool teachers’ and assistant teachers’ opinions on the importance of selected fields of educational work in kindergartens. The article first highlights the importance of activities expressing artistic creativity within modern curriculums. Then, it presents an empirical study that examines the preschool teachers’ and assistant teachers’ opinions on the importance of the educational fields, art genres, and visual arts fields. In research hypotheses, we presumed that preschool teachers find individual educational fields, individual art genres, and individual visual arts activities to be of different importance; consequently, education in kindergarten does not achieve the requisite holism. The study is based on the descriptive and causal-non-experimental method. We have determined that the greatest importance is attributed to movement and language, followed by nature, society, art and mathematics. Within art genres, the greatest importance is attributed to visual arts and music and the least to audio-visual activities. Within visual arts, drawing and painting are considered to be the most important and sculpting the least. These findings can support future studies and deliberation on the possible effects on practice in terms of requisitely holistically planned preschool education.

Ant- and ant-colony-inspired ALife art is characterized by the artistic exploration of the emerging collective behavior of computational agents, developed using ants as a metaphor. We present a chronology that documents the emergence and history of such visual art, contextualize ant- and ant-colony-inspired art within generative art practices, and consider how it relates to other ALife art. We survey many of the algorithms that artists have used in this genre, address some of their aims, and explore the relationships between ant- and ant-colony-inspired art and research on ant and ant colony behavior.

HIV/AIDS in the visual arts: applying discipline-based art education (DBAE) to medical humanities.

Science.gov (United States)

Tapajos, Ricardo

2003-06-01

Health professions educators have been systematically attempting to insert the humanities into health professions curricula for over 4 decades, with various degrees of success. Among the several medical humanities, the visual arts seem particularly adequate for the teaching/learning of crucial aspects of medicine. Educational efforts in the arts require, however, a sound pedagogical philosophy of art education. Health professions educators need therefore to be aware of educational frameworks in the arts. Discipline-based art education (DBAE) is a recognised contemporary educational framework for the teaching/learning of the arts, which may be adapted to medical humanities. It is the ultimate objective of this essay to share the experience of applying this educational framework to a course in a medical curriculum. The author describes a course on the representations of HIV/AIDS in the visual arts, with explicit reference to its objectives, content, instructional features and student assessment in the light of DBAE, whose principles and characteristics are described in detail. Discipline-based art education may be applied to medical humanities courses in a medical curriculum. This essay throws light on how this structure may be particularly useful for designing other pedagogically sound art courses in health professions curricula.

Predicting beauty: fractal dimension and visual complexity in art.

Forsythe, A; Nadal, M; Sheehy, N; Cela-Conde, C J; Sawey, M

2011-02-01

Visual complexity has been known to be a significant predictor of preference for artistic works for some time. The first study reported here examines the extent to which perceived visual complexity in art can be successfully predicted using automated measures of complexity. Contrary to previous findings the most successful predictor of visual complexity was Gif compression. The second study examined the extent to which fractal dimension could account for judgments of perceived beauty. The fractal dimension measure accounts for more of the variance in judgments of perceived beauty in visual art than measures of visual complexity alone, particularly for abstract and natural images. Results also suggest that when colour is removed from an artistic image observers are unable to make meaningful judgments as to its beauty. ©2010 The British Psychological Society.

But this visual artifacts can be analyzed from the education in visual arts. We can offer a suitable formation in the moment on training teachers (Clarembeaux, 2010; Huerta, 2005, but is also necessary move a notion of visual arts. Now, in Spain, visual arts education is far from the media images. We would incorporate the media education in the Primary School curriculum from the visual arts education (Hernández, 2000; Huerta, 2009. We focuses this research in a case of student’s group. They are university training teachers, and we verify their knowledge about cinema and media as a visual culture texts, promoting a major presence of media in visual arts, extending the field of action, and promoting the use of the cinema as useful tool in the Primary School classes. We encourage teachers and students towards the critical and personal readings in media, reforcing knowledge and analysis more than entertainment (Ambrós & Breu, 2007; Fedorov, 2010. For analyze this situation we have chosen the movie Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea, a film by Hayao Miyazaki.

Full Text Available The most ancient form of dance that is prevailing todays is a form of classical Indian dance, Bharatanatyam. In Sanskrit (and Devanagri, bharatanatyam means "Indian dance", is believed to have divine origin and is of the most ancient form of classical dance. Bharatanatyam is a two thousand-year-old dance form, originally practiced in the temples of ancient India. The art today remains purely devotional even today and this performing art is yet to gain awareness and interest in the western world. This dance form has various implications in improving the higher order thinking in children and provides health benefits in adults apart from cultural preservation. The current study uses scratchboard as a medium to display the artistic movements and emotions. Scratchboard, a fine art is one means by which the visual art is expressed in this current study using sharp tools, namely X-acto 11 scalpel and tattoo needles. This unique medium made up of a masonite hardboard coated with soft clay and Indian ink has been used to not only show the details of the ancient dance form and expression but also to comprehend and transcribe both visual art and fine art. It is for the first time that scratchboard medium has been the innovatively used to show various textures of flower, glistening gold jewels, hand woven silk and the divine expression in the same art ‘devotion’. The current study was carried out in-order to perpetuate, conserve and disseminate these classic forms of visual art and fine art.

Full Text Available The present article establishes an overview of the relationship between culture and the teaching of Art in Brazil, reflecting about multiculturalism in the teaching of Visual Arts through Folk Art. It is based on a literature review, analysis of works of art and their relation to multicultural issues. The study highlights the importance of Folk Art as a source of multicultural studies, as well as the need to deal with these issues within the school environment. There has not been much discussion about the topic, especially regarding Folk Art. The research concludes that it is possible to teach multicultural Art through an approach of the Folk Art, as it enables a better approximation to the learners’ universe and contribute for the development of their critical, reflexive and esthetic abilities.

How does the brain mediate visual artistic creativity? Here we studied behavioral and neural changes in drawing and painting students compared to students who did not study art. We investigated three aspects of cognition vital to many visual artists: creative cognition, perception, and perception-to-action. We found that the art students became more creative via the reorganization of prefrontal white matter but did not find any significant changes in perceptual ability or related neural activity in the art students relative to the control group. Moreover, the art students improved in their ability to sketch human figures from observation, and multivariate patterns of cortical and cerebellar activity evoked by this drawing task became increasingly separable between art and non-art students. Our findings suggest that the emergence of visual artistic skills is supported by plasticity in neural pathways that enable creative cognition and mediate perceptuomotor integration.

El espacio educativo y las referencias al género

Isabel CANTÓN MAYO

2007-01-01

Full Text Available La distribución del espacio en los centros educativos forma parte del currículum oculto de los mismos y las referencias al género en la distribución del mismo así lo demuestran. El artículo hace referencia a la noción de espacio en la educación partiendo de nociones pluridisciplinares: etimológicas, geográficas, filosóficas y educativas. Su vinculación histórica a la posesión, a la conquista y al dominio aporta elementos filogenéticos y ontogenéticos para determinar su uso y tradiciones ligadas al género en el centro educativo. La dimensión del centro como laberinto espacial se traduce en limitaciones para las mujeres. La distinta visión del espacio por hombres y mujeres tiene origen evolutivo; la división de las funciones de los géneros es consecuencia de la división en el sistema productivo. Los hombres han ocupado los espacios exteriores y han relegado a las mujeres a los interiores. Es posible ver el espacio con ojos distintos a los del propio género. Se trata de que hombres y mujeres compartamos la misma visión de los espacios que tiene el otro género para abarcar un ámbito más abierto y dinámico. En Educación los hombres han ocupado los espacios institucionales de poder en los centros educativos.

2016-01-01

This paper describes the diagnostic and treatment utility of visual art therapy in a case of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Visual art therapy was compared longitudinally with clinical and neuroimaging data over five-month period in an autopsy-confirmed case of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease of MM2-cortical subtype. Art therapy sessions and content were useful in ascertaining neuropsychiatric symptoms during the course of her illness. Art therapy offered a unique emotional and cognitive outlet as illness progressed. Patients and families affected by sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease may benefit from art therapy despite the rapidly progressive nature of the illness. Art therapy can also be useful for assessment of patients with sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease by healthcare professionals.

Ubicado en un punto ciego de la regulación urbanística y de las actividades de todos los días, este tipo de espacio puede ser el enfoque de intervenciones decididas por las personas que lo viven diariamente. Con el objetivo de discutir la posición de los habitantes urbanos delante la producción de este tipo de espacio, se analizan dos situaciones que involucran espacios posibles de uso localizados en ambientes urbanos residenciales de la ciudad de Belo Horizonte (Brasil. Partiendo de la constatación de posiciones más o menos comprometidas se discute la posibilidad de una producción colectiva del espacio público cotidiano, o sea, una producción que no depende de la estructura burocrática de la administración municipal y que ocurre de acuerdo con las negociaciones y acciones directas de individuos o grupos.

Ambiguities and conventions in the perception of visual art.

Science.gov (United States)

Mamassian, Pascal

2008-09-01

Vision perception is ambiguous and visual arts play with these ambiguities. While perceptual ambiguities are resolved with prior constraints, artistic ambiguities are resolved by conventions. Is there a relationship between priors and conventions? This review surveys recent work related to these ambiguities in composition, spatial scale, illumination and color, three-dimensional layout, shape, and movement. While most conventions seem to have their roots in perceptual constraints, those conventions that differ from priors may help us appreciate how visual arts differ from everyday perception.

Francisco Torres Pérez

2008-09-01

Full Text Available Los espacios públicos constituyen uno de los escenarios más visibles del proceso de inserción de los inmigrantes en los pueblos y ciudades españolas. Los nuevos vecinos y vecinas utilizan los espacios públicos como recurso instrumental, de sociabilidad y de sentido, y los transforman de formas muy diversas. Este artículo analiza este proceso que está conformando dos tipos de espacios que generan dinámicas, percepciones y valoraciones, bastante distintas. Unos, son espacios compartidos por los vecinos de distintos orígenes. Otros, que concentran a los inmigrantes de la misma cultura y/o origen nacional se han convertido en espacios etnificados. El hilo conductor del análisis es el concepto de sociabilidad y su base empírica son las investigaciones realizadas por el autor en la ciudad de Valencia y en varios municipios del Campo de Cartagena (Murcia. El texto aborda las diferentes estrategias de uso y apropiación de los espacios por los vecinos inmigrantes, particularmente de los ecuatorianos, discute las valoraciones que suscitan y se cuestiona sobre sus efectos en el proceso de inserción de los nuevos vecinos y vecinas.

Write like a visual artist: Tracing the textually mediated art world

Janna Klostermann

2016-12-01

Full Text Available This study examines the social organisation of Canada’s art world from the standpoint of practising visual artists. Bringing together theories of literacy and institutional ethnography, the article investigates the literacy practices of visual artists, making visible how artists use written texts to participate in public galleries and in the social and institutional relations of the art world. Drawing on extended ethnographic research, including interviews, observational field notes and textual analyses, this study sheds light on the ways visual artists enact particular texts, enact organisational processes, and to enact the social and conceptual worlds they are a part of. Through the lens of visual artists, this study locates two particular texts – the artist statement and the bio statement – in the extended social and institutional relations of the art world.

The example of a "comedia de santos" by Miguel de Cervantes, El Rufián dichoso, will show that its author, like Shakespeare or Lope de Vega, introduces a predominantly geographical meaning into the traditional topos of the theatrum mundi; moreover, he uses the theatre scene and maps for constituting other spaces that cannot be visualized directly and that might be called "metageographical" spaces. Thus, Baroque literature opens the way for a new technique of spatial imaginationEl artículo se propone analizar la relación entre la comedia española del Siglo de Oro y la puesta en escena del espacio geográfico.

El propósito es investigar sobre la interrelación que la comunidad establece con el entorno biofísico y social, además del impacto cultural, económico y político -entre otros- en espacios geográficos, tales como la calle, el barrio, la localidad, la ciudad, la región e incluso el país. Asimismo, se trabajan categorías centrales asociadas a la identidad urbana, al espacio público, a la cognición ambiental del entorno urbano, a los comportamientos urbano-ambientales responsables, a la relación espacio y sujeto, y finalmente a la apropiación y significación de espacios públicos, territorios y territorialidades, producto de las interacciones humanas.

Visual arts training is linked to flexible attention to local and global levels of visual stimuli.

Science.gov (United States)

Chamberlain, Rebecca; Wagemans, Johan

2015-10-01

Observational drawing skill has been shown to be associated with the ability to focus on local visual details. It is unclear whether superior performance in local processing is indicative of the ability to attend to, and flexibly switch between, local and global levels of visual stimuli. It is also unknown whether these attentional enhancements remain specific to observational drawing skill or are a product of a wide range of artistic activities. The current study aimed to address these questions by testing if flexible visual processing predicts artistic group membership and observational drawing skill in a sample of first-year bachelor's degree art students (n=23) and non-art students (n=23). A pattern of local and global visual processing enhancements was found in relation to artistic group membership and drawing skill, with local processing ability found to be specifically related to individual differences in drawing skill. Enhanced global processing and more fluent switching between local and global levels of hierarchical stimuli predicted both drawing skill and artistic group membership, suggesting that these are beneficial attentional mechanisms for art-making in a range of domains. These findings support a top-down attentional model of artistic expertise and shed light on the domain specific and domain-general attentional enhancements induced by proficiency in the visual arts.

ARIES: Enabling Visual Exploration and Organization of Art Image Collections.

Crissaff, Lhaylla; Wood Ruby, Louisa; Deutch, Samantha; DuBois, R Luke; Fekete, Jean-Daniel; Freire, Juliana; Silva, Claudio

2018-01-01

Art historians have traditionally used physical light boxes to prepare exhibits or curate collections. On a light box, they can place slides or printed images, move the images around at will, group them as desired, and visual-ly compare them. The transition to digital images has rendered this workflow obsolete. Now, art historians lack well-designed, unified interactive software tools that effectively support the operations they perform with physi-cal light boxes. To address this problem, we designed ARIES (ARt Image Exploration Space), an interactive image manipulation system that enables the exploration and organization of fine digital art. The system allows images to be compared in multiple ways, offering dynamic overlays analogous to a physical light box, and sup-porting advanced image comparisons and feature-matching functions, available through computational image processing. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our system to support art historians tasks through real use cases.

La tesis indaga sobre la construcción del paisaje en el Perú, y en el arte público como elemento configurador de estos paisajes. Ante el análisis de un panorama contemporáneo en el que prima la distorsión tanto de la función del arte público como de su implementación y gestión, se intenta con esta tesis poner en valor la espacialidad en las prácticas de construcción de paisaje de los antiguos peruanos, para identificar sus principios y valores y así poderlos reinterpretar conceptualmente dentro de las prácticas contemporáneas de arte público en el Perú. Se estudia detalladamente aquellos aislados ejemplos de arte público peruano (en gran medida ya desaparecidos o en vías de hacerlo y de artistas contemporáneos que han basado su búsqueda en la reinterpretación de esa espacialidad. Por otro lado, la tesis aporta la mirada que reconoce la supervivencia de dichos valores no en el mayoritario arte público contemporáneo, sino en los desarrollos espontáneos que se materializan en el paisaje rural por acción de labores productivas herederas a su vez de prácticas ancestrales. Se concluye proponiendo unos principios orientadores de buenas prácticas para el arte público contemporáneo peruano, que incorporan tanto la especificidad territorial de nuestros contextos como los principios y valores espaciales reconocidos en nuestro bagaje paisajístico y cultural, que permitan plantear desde nuestra identidad y de manera responsable una configuración alternativa del paisaje urbano y del arte público peruano.

Educational Policies and the Labour Market in the Visual Arts – the Paradigm Shift

Jelena Glišić

2016-04-01

Full Text Available This paper presents the key findings of an extensive research into the role of university-level visual art education in the preparation of visual artists for the successful transition from the academic environment to the art ‘labour market’. Starting from an assumption that higher visual arts education may be a significant factor in redefining the career paths of the visual arts graduates in Serbia, it reviews the recent changes in concepts and programs of university-level visual arts education in Europe and in Serbia. Education policies increasingly foresee the necessity of conscious compliance of education with society as a whole, bearing in mind the wide range of social roles that visual art and professionals from this field may assume. This is especially important for Serbia, since culture is considered one of the country’s most important assets in re-positioning itself on a mental map of Europe. In this paper I will map the main issues, briefly present the historical development of art school programs in Europe and in Serbia, and I will present the concept of the Management in Fine Arts course designed for the BA level at the Fine Art Schools which was designed to endow students with the opportunity to attain basic ‘labour market skills’, and provide them with knowledge and skills necessary to direct their professional development in such manner to enable them to easily find their place in various areas of contemporary society.

Asumiendo la crítica neo-marxista al ideal normativo del espacio público como estándar ideológico mistificador de desigualdades sociales estructurales, subrayamos la inadecuación teórica y política resultante de ignorar la naturaleza contestada del espacio público como ámbito de territorialización de procesos y luchas sociales más amplios. Desarrollamos esta concepción crítica del espacio público como un lugar en el que se articula materialmente una disputa de orden ideológico en torno a la definición de los contornos de la publicidad legítima y la naturalización clasista del derecho a censurar y a excluir. Finalmente, señalamos algunas de las modalidades de conflicto urbano más prominentes que apuntalan esta visión desestabilizadora del espacio público normativo.

Full Text Available This literature review addresses the redefinition of the Visual Arts curriculum as established by the Ministry of Education of Chile, as well as the action-reaction strategies that primary education teachers should consider when teaching different artistic skills to students grades 1 through 6. It is concluded that the proposed Visual Arts curriculum is a powerful educational tool to assist teachers to contextualize arts teaching; help students to express their ideas and emotions based on a critical, reflective, and permanent attitude; and generate opportunities for personal growth focused on the acquisition of creative skills and models of arts education which contribute, as a whole, to the development of human capacities.

Ways of seeing: using the visual arts in nursing education.

Science.gov (United States)

Frei, Judith; Alvarez, Sarah E; Alexander, Michelle B

2010-12-01

Professional nursing defines its foundation of practice as embedded in the sciences and humanities of a liberal education. This liberal education is commonly alluded to with the phrase "the art and science of nursing." Yet how do we as nursing educators integrate these two concepts? This article describes a method of integrating the humanities as part of an innovative clinical experience. A defined visual art experience was used to improve professional nursing students' observational and communication skills, narrative sequencing abilities, and empathy. The nursing and medical literature describing the use of visual art encounters in health care education is reviewed. The incorporation of an art education program into the curriculum of a cohort of accelerated baccalaureate nursing students is described. Qualitative evaluation measures from the students suggest this was an experience that broadened their understanding of patient encounters. Copyright 2010, SLACK Incorporated.

Pérez-Fabello, Maria José; Campos, Alfredo; Gómez-Juncal, Rocío

2007-06-01

This study investigated relationships between visual imaging abilities (imaging capacity and imagery control) and academic performance in 146 Fine Arts students (31 men, 115 women). Mean age was 22.3 yr. (SD= 1.9; range 20-26 yr.). All of the participants who volunteered for the experiment regularly attended classes and were first, second, or third year students. For evaluation of imaging abilities, the Spanish versions of the Gordon Test of Visual Imagery Control, the Vividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire, the Verbalizer-Visualizer Questionnaire, and Betts' Questionnaire Upon Mental Imagery were used. Academic performance was assessed in four areas, Drawing, Painting, Sculpture, and Complementary Subjects, over a three-year period. The results indicate that imagery control was associated with academic performance in Fine Arts. These findings are discussed in the context of previous studies, and new lines of research are proposed.

Constituents of Music and Visual-Art Related Pleasure - A Critical Integrative Literature Review.

Science.gov (United States)

Tiihonen, Marianne; Brattico, Elvira; Maksimainen, Johanna; Wikgren, Jan; Saarikallio, Suvi

2017-01-01

The present literature review investigated how pleasure induced by music and visual-art has been conceptually understood in empirical research over the past 20 years. After an initial selection of abstracts from seven databases (keywords: pleasure, reward, enjoyment, and hedonic), twenty music and eleven visual-art papers were systematically compared. The following questions were addressed: (1) What is the role of the keyword in the research question? (2) Is pleasure considered a result of variation in the perceiver's internal or external attributes? (3) What are the most commonly employed methods and main variables in empirical settings? Based on these questions, our critical integrative analysis aimed to identify which themes and processes emerged as key features for conceptualizing art-induced pleasure. The results demonstrated great variance in how pleasure has been approached: In the music studies pleasure was often a clear object of investigation, whereas in the visual-art studies the term was often embedded into the context of an aesthetic experience, or used otherwise in a descriptive, indirect sense. Music studies often targeted different emotions, their intensity or anhedonia. Biographical and background variables and personality traits of the perceiver were often measured. Next to behavioral methods, a common method was brain imaging which often targeted the reward circuitry of the brain in response to music. Visual-art pleasure was also frequently addressed using brain imaging methods, but the research focused on sensory cortices rather than the reward circuit alone. Compared with music research, visual-art research investigated more frequently pleasure in relation to conscious, cognitive processing, where the variations of stimulus features and the changing of viewing modes were regarded as explanatory factors of the derived experience. Despite valence being frequently applied in both domains, we conclude, that in empirical music research pleasure

Connection Between the Originality Level of Pupils' Visual Expression in Visual Arts Lessons and Their Level of Tolerance for Diversity

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Miroslav Huzjak

2017-09-01

Full Text Available The aim of this research was to examine the connection between the originality level in children's expression during visual art lessons and their level of tolerance for difference. The participants comprised primary school pupils from grades one, two and three, a total of 110. It was confirmed that there was a statistically significant difference between the pupils who had an introduction to the lesson using the didactic model of visual problembased teaching and those who had not. Learning and setting art terminology, the analysis of motifs and explanation, as well as demonstration of art techniques resulted in a higher level of creativity in visual performance, as well as a higher level of tolerance. It can be concluded that, with the proper choice of didactic models in teaching the visual arts, a wide range of pupil attitudes and beliefs can be improved.

Visualizing the Impact of Art: An Update and Comparison of Current Psychological Models of Art Experience.

Science.gov (United States)

Pelowski, Matthew; Markey, Patrick S; Lauring, Jon O; Leder, Helmut

2016-01-01

The last decade has witnessed a renaissance of empirical and psychological approaches to art study, especially regarding cognitive models of art processing experience. This new emphasis on modeling has often become the basis for our theoretical understanding of human interaction with art. Models also often define areas of focus and hypotheses for new empirical research, and are increasingly important for connecting psychological theory to discussions of the brain. However, models are often made by different researchers, with quite different emphases or visual styles. Inputs and psychological outcomes may be differently considered, or can be under-reported with regards to key functional components. Thus, we may lose the major theoretical improvements and ability for comparison that can be had with models. To begin addressing this, this paper presents a theoretical assessment, comparison, and new articulation of a selection of key contemporary cognitive or information-processing-based approaches detailing the mechanisms underlying the viewing of art. We review six major models in contemporary psychological aesthetics. We in turn present redesigns of these models using a unified visual form, in some cases making additions or creating new models where none had previously existed. We also frame these approaches in respect to their targeted outputs (e.g., emotion, appraisal, physiological reaction) and their strengths within a more general framework of early, intermediate, and later processing stages. This is used as a basis for general comparison and discussion of implications and future directions for modeling, and for theoretically understanding our engagement with visual art.

The Use of Visual Arts as a Window to Diagnosing Medical Pathologies.

Science.gov (United States)

Bramstedt, Katrina A

2016-08-01

Observation is a key step preceding diagnosis, prognostication, and treatment. Careful patient observation is a skill that is learned but rarely explicitly taught. Furthermore, proper clinical observation requires more than a glance; it requires attention to detail. In medical school, the art of learning to look can be taught using the medical humanities and especially visual arts such as paintings and film. Research shows that such training improves not only observation skills but also teamwork, listening skills, and reflective and analytical thinking. Overall, the use of visual arts in medical school curricula can build visual literacy: the capacity to identify and analyze facial features, emotions, and general bodily presentations, including contextual features such as clothing, hair, and body art. With the ability to formulate and convey a detailed "picture" of the patient, clinicians can integrate aesthetic and clinical knowledge, helping facilitate the diagnosing of medical pathologies. © 2016 American Medical Association.

Observation and visualization: reflections on the relationship between science, visual arts, and the evolution of the scientific image.

Science.gov (United States)

Kolijn, Eveline

2013-10-01

The connections between biological sciences, art and printed images are of great interest to the author. She reflects on the historical relevance of visual representations for science. She argues that the connection between art and science seems to have diminished during the twentieth century. However, this connection is currently growing stronger again through digital media and new imaging methods. Scientific illustrations have fuelled art, while visual modeling tools have assisted scientific research. As a print media artist, she explores the relationship between art and science in her studio practice and will present this historical connection with examples related to evolution, microbiology and her own work. Art and science share a common source, which leads to scrutiny and enquiry. Science sets out to reveal and explain our reality, whereas art comments and makes connections that don't need to be tested by rigorous protocols. Art and science should each be evaluated on their own merit. Allowing room for both in the quest to understand our world will lead to an enriched experience.

The present literature review investigated how pleasure induced by music and visual-art has been conceptually understood in empirical research over the past 20 years. After an initial selection of abstracts from seven databases (keywords: pleasure, reward, enjoyment, and hedonic), twenty music and eleven visual-art papers were systematically compared. The following questions were addressed: (1) What is the role of the keyword in the research question? (2) Is pleasure considered a result of variation in the perceiver’s internal or external attributes? (3) What are the most commonly employed methods and main variables in empirical settings? Based on these questions, our critical integrative analysis aimed to identify which themes and processes emerged as key features for conceptualizing art-induced pleasure. The results demonstrated great variance in how pleasure has been approached: In the music studies pleasure was often a clear object of investigation, whereas in the visual-art studies the term was often embedded into the context of an aesthetic experience, or used otherwise in a descriptive, indirect sense. Music studies often targeted different emotions, their intensity or anhedonia. Biographical and background variables and personality traits of the perceiver were often measured. Next to behavioral methods, a common method was brain imaging which often targeted the reward circuitry of the brain in response to music. Visual-art pleasure was also frequently addressed using brain imaging methods, but the research focused on sensory cortices rather than the reward circuit alone. Compared with music research, visual-art research investigated more frequently pleasure in relation to conscious, cognitive processing, where the variations of stimulus features and the changing of viewing modes were regarded as explanatory factors of the derived experience.

The Art in Visualizing Natural Landscapes from Space

Webley, P. W.; Shipman, J. S.; Adams, T.

2017-12-01

Satellite remote sensing data can capture the changing Earth at cm resolution, across hundreds of spectral channels, and multiple times per hour. There is an art in combining these datasets together to fully capture the beauty of our planet. The resulting artistic piece can be further transformed by building in an accompanying musical score, allowing for a deeper emotional connection with the public. We make use of visible, near, middle and long wave infrared and radar data as well as different remote sensing techniques to uniquely capture our changing landscape in the spaceborne data. We will generate visually compelling imagery and videos that represent hazardous events from dust storms to landslides and from volcanic eruptions to forest fires. We will demonstrate how specific features of the Earth's landscape can be emphasized through the use of different datasets and color combinations and how, by adding a musical score, we can directly connect with the viewer and heighten their experience. We will also discuss our process to integrate the different aspects of our project together and how it could be developed to capture the beauty of other planets across the solar system using spaceborne imagery and data. Bringing together experts in art installations, composing musical scores, and remote sensing image visualization can lead to new and exciting artistic representations of geoscience data. The resulting product demonstrates there is an art to visualizing remote sensing data to capture the beauty of our planet and that incorporating a musical score can take us all to new places and emotions to enhance our experience.

2017-01-01

Despite the growing international innovations for visual arts interventions in dementia care, limited attention has been paid to their theoretical basis. In response, this paper explores how and why visual art interventions in dementia care influence changes in outcomes. The theory building process consists of a realist review of primary research on visual art programmes. This aims to uncover what works, for whom, how, why and in what circumstances. We undertook a qualitative exploration of stakeholder perspectives of art programmes, and then synthesised these two pieces of work alongside broader theory to produce a conceptual framework for intervention development, further research and practice. This suggests effective programmes are realised through essential attributes of two key conditions (provocative and stimulating aesthetic experience; dynamic and responsive artistic practice). These conditions are important for cognitive, social and individual responses, leading to benefits for people with early to more advanced dementia. This work represents a starting point at identifying theories of change for arts interventions, and for further research to critically examine, refine and strengthen the evidence base for the arts in dementia care. Understanding the theoretical basis of interventions is important for service development, evaluation and implementation.

El arte o las fronteras: arte, comunicación y mediación cultural

2006-01-01

Full Text Available La apertura espacial y temporal del mundo lleva a la emergencia de nuevos territorios para las obras de arte. La aceleración del tiempo termina en la paradoja de un capricho radical de ciertas obras de arte contemporáneo a inscribirse en la larga duración del patrimonio, o incluso en la expansión del arte a espacios territorializados y/o ubicuos mientras abandonan su lugar institucional. En este contexto, asistimos a una multiplicación de nuevos espacios abiertos a la mediación cultural. Convendría ver, en estos desarrollos, una respuesta —fundamentada en una mediación técnica ubicua— a las necesidades de participación de individuos y comunidades en la creación de formas simbólicas de las que han sido alejados por las industrias culturales. Sin embargo, este fenómeno parece establecer una relación entre la “numerización” del arte numérico o digital y la “estetización” de la comunicación, entre la comunicación y la comunicabilidad (sensus communis, que puede llevarnos a una nueva aproximación a la mediación cultural. Intentar identificar estos espacios de encuentro entre la estética y las ciencias de la comunicación permitiría ahondar en el triple interrogante de la creación y la recepción de las obras de arte, pero, también, de su transmisión y conservación en el contexto de una cultura de la comunicación globalizada.

Astronomy, Visual Literacy, and Liberal Arts Education

Science.gov (United States)

Crider, Anthony

2016-01-01

With the exponentially growing amount of visual content that twenty-first century students will face throughout their lives, teaching them to respond to it with visual and information literacy skills should be a clear priority for liberal arts education. While visual literacy is more commonly covered within humanities curricula, I will argue that because astronomy is inherently a visual science, it is a fertile academic discipline for the teaching and learning of visual literacy. Astronomers, like many scientists, rely on three basic types of visuals to convey information: images, qualitative diagrams, and quantitative plots. In this talk, I will highlight classroom methods that can be used to teach students to "read" and "write" these three separate visuals. Examples of "reading" exercises include questioning the authorship and veracity of images, confronting the distorted scales of many diagrams published in astronomy textbooks, and extracting quantitative information from published plots. Examples of "writing" exercises include capturing astronomical images with smartphones, re-sketching textbook diagrams on whiteboards, and plotting data with Google Motion Charts or iPython notebooks. Students can be further pushed to synthesize these skills with end-of-semester slide presentations that incorporate relevant images, diagrams, and plots rather than relying solely on bulleted lists.

Teaching Visual Arts - From the Innocent Eye to Immersiveness and Vice Versa

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Marijan Richter

2017-09-01

Full Text Available In the mid-19th century, John Ruskin, apologist for the poetics of the innocent eye, advocated a break with academic Realism. A century later, Gombrich and Goodman criticized Ruskin's Romantic subjectivism from the position of High Modernism. Consequently, the "Enlightenment" approach in teaching visual arts became stronger. Recently, some teaching specialists have been trying to inaugurate the term, immersiveness, in place of visual arts language for the purpose of introducing contemporary art into the syllabus. This paper examines the relation between "the innocent eye myth" and topical approach of "immersiveness" within the framework of educational objectives and methods in contemporary teaching.

Yang, K T; Lin, C C; Chang, L Y

2011-12-01

Visual arts have been used to facilitate the teaching of the United States Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) competencies used in some countries. Some medical students may not appreciate the usefulness of incorporating arts in medical education. Therefore, arts programs that can interest medical students are necessary. We initiated and evaluated a visual arts program at the Changhua Christian Hospital in Changhua, Taiwan, with an aim to give the students a short review of visual arts and to interest them in the incorporation of arts in medicine. A total of 110 students in clerkship or internship participated in a visual arts program with emphasis on medicine-related visual arts. Content analysis of the data from the notes made by the instructor from direct observation of students; descriptions during discussions and the written feedback from students at the end of the program was used to evaluate the effect of the program. Anonymous questionnaires were also used for self-assessment of students. Qualitative analysis of the data revealed that the course was interesting to students. Themes emerged including its helpfulness to students in interpreting paintings, enhanced empathy, increased cultural awareness, enhanced observational skills, better team work, listening and communication skills and reduced stress. Ratings on the questionnaire showed similar results. Moreover, students had an increase in their confidence and desire to interpret paintings. The structured visual arts program, with emphasis on medicine-related visual arts and other humanities subjects, was able to attract the attention of medical students. It might be helpful to improve the required skills of ACGME competencies, but further studies are needed to support these conclusions.

The therapeutic effectiveness of using visual art modalities with the bereaved: a systematic review

Science.gov (United States)

Gramling, Sandra E

2018-01-01

Bereaved individuals are increasingly considered at risk for negative psychological and physiological outcomes. Visual art modalities are often incorporated into grief therapy interventions, and clinical application of art therapy techniques with the bereaved has been widely documented. Although clinicians and recipients of these interventions advocate for their helpfulness in adapting to bereavement, research investigating the efficacy of visual art modalities has produced equivocal results and has not yet been synthesized to establish empirical support across settings. Accordingly, this review critically evaluates the existent literature on the effectiveness of visual art modalities with the bereaved and offers suggestions for future avenues of research. A total of 27 studies were included in the current review. Meta-analysis was not possible because of clinical heterogeneity and insufficient comparable data on outcome measures across studies. A narrative synthesis reports that therapeutic application of visual art modalities was associated with positive changes such as continuing bonds with the deceased and meaning making. Modest and conflicting preliminary evidence was found to support treatment effectiveness in alleviating negative grief symptoms such as general distress, functional impairment, and symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Early Sámi visual artists - Western fine art meets Sámi culture

Tuija Hautala-Hirvioja

2014-04-01

Full Text Available Johan Turi (1854–1936, Nils Nilsson Skum (1872–1951 and John Savio (1902–1938 were among the first Sámi visual artists. The production of their art work occurred between the 1910s and the early 1950s. Sámi aesthetics had its basis in folklore, i.e., handicraft or duodji, which did not follow the principle of art for art’s sake but combined beauty and practicality. Art was part of community life. Not until the 1970s was the word daidda, which is Finnish in origin and which means “art”, adopted into the Sámi language. Turi and Skum became famous through their books. They drew and wrote in order to pass the traditional knowledge of their people on to succeeding generations. They also wanted to introduce Sámi life and culture to non-Sámi people. One typical feature of their work is that they depicted Sáminess in a realistic way and sought to strengthen and preserve the Sámi identity through their art. In Turi and Skum’s work, both the documentation of community life and their own personal expression were strongly present and equally important; for this reason their pictures and texts have both practical and aesthetic dimensions. They did not attend school and were self-taught artists. The third pioneer of Sámi visual arts was John Savio, who, unlike the other two, attended secondary school and studied visual arts both independently and under the guidance of a mentor. He expressively combined Western ways of depiction with Sámi subjects. My article examines what made these early Sámi artists change over from Sámi handicraft, duodji, to Western visual arts, how they used Western pictorial conventions in dealing with their Sámi subjects, and the significance of their art for Sámi identity and culture. They lived and worked under cross pressure: the first few decades of the 20th century were characterized by racial theories that denigrated Sámi people, and the period following World War II was marked by demands for

Connecting art and the brain: an artist’s perspective on visual indeterminacy

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Robert ePepperell

2011-08-01

Full Text Available In this article I will discuss the intersection between art and neuroscience from the perspective of a practicing artist. I have collaborated on several scientific studies into the effects of art on the brain and behaviour, looking in particular at the phenomenon of ‘visual indeterminacy’. This is a perceptual state in which subjects fail to recognise objects from visual cues. I will look at the background to this phenomenon, and show how various artists have exploited its effect through the history of art. My own attempts to create indeterminate images will be discussed, including some of the technical problems I faced in trying to manipulate the viewer’s perceptual state through paintings. Visual indeterminacy is not widely studied in neuroscience, although references to it can be found in the literature on visual agnosia and object recognition. I will briefly review some of this work and show how my attempts to understand the science behind visual indeterminacy led me to collaborate with psychophysicists and neuroscientists. After reviewing this work, I will discuss the conclusions I have drawn from its findings and consider the problem of how best to integrate neuroscientific methods with artistic knowledge to create truly interdisciplinary approach.

A Visual Arts Education program was tested among 26 pairs of persons with dementia and their caregivers. Pairs were randomized to Visual Arts Education or control groups, and each group met once per week for two months (8 weeks) to participate in activities with a trained arts instructor. Groups were assessed at baseline, two months, and six months. The Visual Arts Education group received instruction and produced a different type of artistic work each week. The pedagogical strategy was designed so that each activity was increasingly novel, challenging, and complex. The control group viewed slide shows, participated in discussions about art, and made paintings. At the six-month follow-up, significant improvements in caregiver burden and self-esteem for the persons with dementia were found in the Visual Arts Education group. The Visual Arts Education pedagogical approach shows the potential for effectiveness for improving quality of life for persons with dementia and their caregivers.

Full Text Available El objeto de este artículo son las relaciones que se establecen entre los movimientos sociales y los procesos de construcción de la ciudadanía mediante la reapropiación y resignificación tanto física como simbólica del espacio público. Desde los estudios de la acción colectiva el espacio público se ha comprendido tradicionalmente como el escenario en el que tienen lugar las disputas por la legitimidad de las demandas colectivas. Pero lo que sucede en el espacio público tiene una conexión directa con los espacios de la privacidad, con los intereses privados y con la agregación de estos intereses en redes de socialidad que conectan diversas individualidades. Una especie de privacidad compartida que se hará visible cuando la movilización política ocupe el espacio público. La cristalización de las demandas que se formulan en la privacidad compartida produce la modificación del ámbito de derechos y responsabilidades de ciudadanía que cuestiona y pone en crisis los límites de la política institucional(izada.

Utilizing visual art to enhance the clinical observation skills of medical students.

Science.gov (United States)

Jasani, Sona K; Saks, Norma S

2013-07-01

Clinical observation is fundamental in practicing medicine, but these skills are rarely taught. Currently no evidence-based exercises/courses exist for medical student training in observation skills. The goal was to develop and teach a visual arts-based exercise for medical students, and to evaluate its usefulness in enhancing observation skills in clinical diagnosis. A pre- and posttest and evaluation survey were developed for a three-hour exercise presented to medical students just before starting clerkships. Students were provided with questions to guide discussion of both representational and non-representational works of art. Quantitative analysis revealed that the mean number of observations between pre- and posttests was not significantly different (n=70: 8.63 vs. 9.13, p=0.22). Qualitative analysis of written responses identified four themes: (1) use of subjective terminology, (2) scope of interpretations, (3) speculative thinking, and (4) use of visual analogies. Evaluative comments indicated that students felt the exercise enhanced both mindfulness and skills. Using visual art images with guided questions can train medical students in observation skills. This exercise can be replicated without specially trained personnel or art museum partnerships.

In the working memory of the beholder: Art appreciation is enhanced when visual complexity is compatible with working memory.

Sherman, Aleksandra; Grabowecky, Marcia; Suzuki, Satoru

2015-08-01

What shapes art appreciation? Much research has focused on the importance of visual features themselves (e.g., symmetry, natural scene statistics) and of the viewer's experience and expertise with specific artworks. However, even after taking these factors into account, there are considerable individual differences in art preferences. Our new result suggests that art preference is also influenced by the compatibility between visual properties and the characteristics of the viewer's visual system. Specifically, we have demonstrated, using 120 artworks from diverse periods, cultures, genres, and styles, that art appreciation is increased when the level of visual complexity within an artwork is compatible with the viewer's visual working memory capacity. The result highlights the importance of the interaction between visual features and the beholder's general visual capacity in shaping art appreciation. (c) 2015 APA, all rights reserved).

Perceptual flexibility is coupled with reduced executive inhibition in students of the visual arts.

Chamberlain, Rebecca; Swinnen, Lena; Heeren, Sarah; Wagemans, Johan

2018-05-01

Artists often report that seeing familiar stimuli in novel and interesting ways plays a role in visual art creation. However, the attentional mechanisms which underpin this ability have yet to be fully investigated. More specifically, it is unclear whether the ability to reinterpret visual stimuli in novel and interesting ways is facilitated by endogenously generated switches of attention, and whether it is linked in turn to executive functions such as inhibition and response switching. To address this issue, the current study explored ambiguous figure reversal and executive function in a sample of undergraduate students studying arts and non-art subjects (N = 141). Art students showed more frequent perceptual reversals in an ambiguous figure task, both when viewing the stimulus passively and when eliciting perceptual reversals voluntarily, but showed no difference from non-art students when asked to actively maintain specific percepts. In addition, art students were worse than non-art students at inhibiting distracting flankers in an executive inhibition task. The findings suggest that art students can elicit endogenous shifts of attention more easily than non-art students but that this faculty is not directly associated with enhanced executive function. It is proposed that the signature of artistic skill may be increased perceptual flexibility accompanied by reduced cognitive inhibition; however, future research will be necessary to determine which particular subskills in the visual arts are linked to aspects of perception and executive function. © 2017 The British Psychological Society.

Full Text Available En este artículo, se intenta aproximar los objetivos del Espacio Europeo de Edu- cación Superior a uno de los objetivos de la logoterapia de Viktor Frankl, con el fin de definir o reflexionar acerca del «sentido de la vida» como propuesta para elaborar los planes de educación a partir de valores actitudinales. A nuestro parecer este tema se correlaciona fundamentalmente con la percepción de mundo y de la persona, constituyendo así una categoría clave en la com- prensión más adecuada con la idea de educación. En base a esto proporcionaremos reflexiones a la manera de diseñar los planes de mejora para los estudiantes, respetando los objetivos indi- viduales, grupales y el concepto legítimo de escuela como espacio favorable al desarrollo de competencias. En el plano lógico, este artículo intenta explicitar la discusión entre los valores actitudinales y los objetivos de «Bolonia». De esta manera los métodos pedagógicos deben tener en cuenta las opiniones de los alumnos en cualquier decisión sobre su educación. En fin, dese- amos con este artículo defender las propuestas del EEES a partir de las aportaciones teóricas de la logoterapia.

Australian doctors and the visual arts. Part 1. Doctor-artists in New South Wales.

Science.gov (United States)

Hamilton, D G

Since Europeans first settled in Australia their doctors have been interested in the visual arts. Some have been hobby painters and sculptors, a few with great distinction. Some have been gallery supporters and administrators. A few have written art books. Some have been outstanding photographers. Of the larger number of doctors who have collected art, only those are mentioned who have made their collections public or have made important donations to galleries. The subject of Australian doctors and the visual arts will be discussed in six articles in this and following issues of the journal. The first deals with doctor-artists in New South Wales.

Community stroke awareness initiatives have traditionally been used to expand knowledge of stroke signs and risk factors to high-risk adult populations. Here, we use a novel unfettered, visual art-based approach for an elementary school initiative to raise stroke awareness. Seventh graders in a middle school art class received stroke awareness training during the course of the 2015 to 2016 school year through their teacher in the visual arts class. In turn, they used this training to develop their own artistic interpretations of key stroke awareness concepts via project-based learning and then present their projects to raise awareness about stroke. We evaluated our predata and postdata to determine whether the visual art school-based stroke intervention was effective in both educating students about stroke and enabling them to effectively disseminate this information to parents and other adults in their community. The pretest evaluation indicates a fair or good knowledge about stroke, and no student indicated an "outstanding" or "excellent" knowledge. The posttest evaluation indicated a higher degree of stroke awareness because students were rated as having an "outstanding," "excellent," or "very good" performance especially in the ability to translate knowledge of stroke awareness lessons learned in their art class into a well-articulated stroke-related project and presentation. Pearson χ test reveals significant difference (P art teacher to lead the educational component in the intervention indicates that expertise in neurology or stroke is not necessary to facilitate understanding of stroke and highlights the importance of creativeness in stroke education for children.

2014-01-01

Among the main challenges of the predictive brain/mind concept is how to link prediction at the neural level to prediction at the cognitive-psychological level and finding conceptually robust and empirically verifiable ways to harness this theoretical framework toward explaining higher-order mental and cognitive phenomena, including the subjective experience of aesthetic and symbolic forms. Building on the tentative prediction error account of visual art, this article extends the application of the predictive coding framework to the visual arts. It does so by linking this theoretical discussion to a subjective, phenomenological account of how a work of art is experienced. In order to engage more deeply with a work of art, viewers must be able to tune or adapt their prediction mechanism to recognize art as a specific class of objects whose ontological nature defies predictability, and they must be able to sustain a productive flow of predictions from low-level sensory, recognitional to abstract semantic, conceptual, and affective inferences. The affective component of the process of predictive error optimization that occurs when a viewer enters into dialog with a painting is constituted both by activating the affective affordances within the image and by the affective consequences of prediction error minimization itself. The predictive coding framework also has implications for the problem of the culturality of vision. A person's mindset, which determines what top-down expectations and predictions are generated, is co-constituted by culture-relative skills and knowledge, which form hyperpriors that operate in the perception of art.

Full Text Available Political changes in Slovenia in the early 1990s were followed by changes to the educational system. As regards the professional field, the last thirty years have seen major changes to teaching art all around the globe and also in Slovenia in the sense of the so-called postmodern visual arts curriculum. Slovenian art curricula are facing similar problems as the curricula in other countries. By comparing Slovenian art curricula for secondary school with those in seven different countries (Croatia, Estonia, Finland, Ireland, Latvia, Norway, and Spain, we wished to shed light on the Slovenian curriculum in a broader context. The Slovenian curriculum and those of other countries have been scrutinised and juxtaposed from different viewpoints. It has been established that Slovenian course syllabi have individual characteristics in common with the countries compared. The placement of art education into the timetable is similar to that in other countries. In Slovenia and in all the other countries, art education is a compulsory subject but with a different amount of taught time. The documents show differences as regards their structure, the terminology in the classification of the fields of visual arts, the implementation of contemporary content, multiculturalism, and sustainability. The comparison has shown that the Slovenian national curriculum for gimnazija has a modern design in specific segments, while it could be better in others.

Vulnerable persons often face stigma-related barriers while seeking health care. Innovative education and professional development methods are needed to help change this. We describe an interdisciplinary group workshop designed around a discomfiting oil portrait, intended to trigger provocative conversations among health care students and practitioners, and we present our mixed methods analysis of participant reflections. After the workshop, participants were significantly more likely to endorse the statements that the observation and interpretive skills involved in viewing visual art are relevant to patient care and that visual art should be used in medical education to improve students' observational skills, narrative skills, and empathy with their patients. Subsequent to the workshop, significantly more participants agreed that art interpretation should be required curriculum for health care students. Qualitative comments from two groups from two different education and professional contexts were examined for themes; conversations focused on issues of power, body image/self-esteem, and lessons for clinical practice. We argue that difficult conversations about affective responses to vulnerable persons are possible in a collaborative context using well-chosen works of visual art that can stand in for a patient.

Art Rounds: teaching interprofessional students visual thinking strategies at one school.

Klugman, Craig M; Peel, Jennifer; Beckmann-Mendez, Diana

2011-10-01

The Art Rounds program uses visual thinking strategies (VTS) to teach visual observation skills to medical and nursing students at the University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio. This study's goal was to evaluate whether students' exposure to VTS would improve their physical observation skills, increase tolerance for ambiguity, and increase interest in learning communication skills. In January 2010, 32 students attended three, 90-minute sessions at which they observed and commented on three pieces of art in small groups led by museum educators. Pre and posttest evaluations included Geller and colleagues' version of Budner's Tolerance of Ambiguity Scale, the Communication Skills Attitudes Scale, and free responses to art and patient images. Statistical analyses compared pre and post time looking at images, number of words used to describe images, and number of observations made according to gender and discipline. Students significantly increased the amount of time they spent looking at art and patient images (P = .007), the number of words they used to describe art (P = .002) and patient images (P = .019), and the number of observations made of art (P = .000) and patient images (P = .001). Females increased the time spent observing significantly more than did males (P = .011). Students significantly increased their tolerance for ambiguity (P = .033) and positive views toward health care professional communication skills (P = .001). The authors speculate that these improved skills may help in patient care and interprofessional team interactions.

The image in the visual arts. New ways of communications at school

Flor Ángela Gutiérrez Castro

2015-07-01

Full Text Available This is a reflexive article which explains other possibilities and acknowledgements to the use of the visual image in the new ways of communication used at school, through the development of some strategies of action related to the contemplation and the image production: first, negotiate the tendency to the images transmission as a transparent reflecting suggested reality; secondly, to go beyond the interpretation of the images in terms of the negative or positive; and finally, to consider the importance of visual arts in school in the construction of the individual. Based on this reflection some essential concepts are developed about the image as a component of subjectivity since distinctive features that reveal more about its content rather than its definition. The article concludes by outlining the need to build new pedagogical practices, in which beyond promoting the compliance of established academic programs other conditions are built to understand the image as a comprehensible occurrence through the cultural visual-visual arts relationship.

Espacios públicos urbanos: Una contribución a la identidad y confianza social y privada

Full Text Available El presente artículo aborda el tema de los espacios públicos urbanos y su contribución para construir la identidad social, el sentido pertenencia, y la confianza pública y privada. Su propósito es aportar a un debate técnico y político sobre la convivencia urbana, a partir de percepciones y aspiraciones de habitantes y usuarios de dichos espacios1. El contexto de análisis está dado por la modificación, en Chile, del espacio social, lo que se expresa en nuevas maneras de vivir, de relacionarse y organizarse real y simbólicamente en los espacios públicos. Se observa una población con bajos niveles de confianza, que desvaloriza lo colectivo y que vive con una alta percepción de inseguridad en una ciudad como Santiago, segregada social y espacialmente (Rodríguez & Winchester 1999. Sin embargo, entre las aspiraciones de los chilenos está la necesidad de robustecer aquello que es común. El estudio se concentra en tres casos de espacios públicos, en los que se distinguió entre usuarios, por una parte, y residentes del entorno, por otra. Los espacios considerados fueron dos parques a escala de la ciudad, en Santiago -el Parque Forestal y el Parque de Los Reyes- y una pequeña plaza, diseñada y construida en forma participativa, en Calama.

When a Picasso is a "Picasso": the entry point in the identification of visual art.

Science.gov (United States)

Belke, B; Leder, H; Harsanyi, G; Carbon, C C

We investigated whether art is distinguished from other real world objects in human cognition, in that art allows for a special memorial representation and identification based on artists' specific stylistic appearances. Testing art-experienced viewers, converging empirical evidence from three experiments, which have proved sensitive to addressing the question of initial object recognition, suggest that identification of visual art is at the subordinate level of the producing artist. Specifically, in a free naming task it was found that art-objects as opposed to non-art-objects were most frequently named with subordinate level categories, with the artist's name as the most frequent category (Experiment 1). In a category-verification task (Experiment 2), art-objects were recognized faster than non-art-objects on the subordinate level with the artist's name. In a conceptual priming task, subordinate primes of artists' names facilitated matching responses to art-objects but subordinate primes did not facilitate responses to non-art-objects (Experiment 3). Collectively, these results suggest that the artist's name has a special status in the memorial representation of visual art and serves as a predominant entry point in recognition in art perception.

Se realizó una investigación de naturaleza exploratória, sobre la experiencia de personas que tienen recurrencia en visitación a la Bienal, por medio de veinte entrevistas en profundidad. Los resultados fueron discutidos a partir de sus potencialidades para fomentar proyectos de diseño aplicado al territorio y ratificaron el potencial que el espacio de la ciudad tiene para estimular la conexión entre personas y arte, lo que puede ser trabajado por instituciones diversas, a partir de intervenciones planeadas.  Además de eso, se observó que el territorio, como objeto projetual de diseño, puede ofrecer no sólo un espacio adecuado para las personas, sino también facilitar la dinámica social que acontece en él. En ese escenario, el factor interacción que se establece entre el territorio, el arte y las personas facilita el desarrollo del vínculo emocional entre la Bienal y los habitantes de la ciudad. La ciudad, como metrópoli permeada por el arte en el periodo de la Bienal, es un fenómeno único, a ser observado. Las conclusiones apuntan que, aunque algunos elementos parecen ser independientes de la ciudad, otros, como el uso de sus espacios característicos, son circunscritos a aspectos marcadamente locales.

Why do vampires avoid mirrors? Reflections on specularity in the visual arts

Vangelis Athanassopoulos

2012-02-01

Full Text Available Vangelis Athanassopoulos, Ph.D. in Aesthetics, is an Associate Professor of Philosophy of Art at the Department of Visual Arts of the University Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne in Paris, France. He is a member of the LETA (Laboratory of Theoretical and Applied Aesthetics, University Paris I, the AICA (International Association of Art Critics, and co-editor of Proteus, an online French journal on aesthetics (www.revue-proteus.com. He has published two books on postmodernism and advertising (La publicité dans l'art contemporain, 2 t., Paris: L'Harmattan, 2009 as well as several articles on modern and contemporary art. His research fields include visual semiology, philosophy of language and critical theory.This article is an attempt to organize the general axes of a research on mirror image in the visual arts, addressing the concept of specularity and its problematic status in Western aesthetics. The argument is that, paradoxically, despite the central role of reflection in the theory of representation, specularity is constantly repressed as false and dangerous. Hence the historical duplicity of the mirror in its relation to art: on the one hand it consolidates the Western system of representation while on the other it deconstructs the very principles upon which this system is erected. Literary theory and psychoanalysis enable us to focus on the ways which, in the founding myths of representation such as the ones of Narcissus and Medusa, vision, discourse and identity are articulated around reflection, relating a physical phenomenon with the mental processes defining self-consciousness. In the field of visual arts, this articulation is operated through the opposition between two different conceptions of the image, “painting-as-window” and “painting-as-mirror”. Locating this opposition in Svetlana Alpers’ reading of Las Meninas and Louis Marin's approach of the Brunelleschian optical box, we point out the discontinuity which comes to the fore

Drawing Myth and History in visual art

Jaime de Córdoba

Full Text Available After the famous exhibition “Copier créer” curated by Jean Pierre Cuzin in the “Musée du Louvre” in 1993, the practice of drawing art has acquired a renovated interest. This exhibition revised the theoretical concepts introduced by Bober and others in the second half of the XXth century and increased the value of the contribution of drawing in the study of art history instead of the idea of copying. An important catalog and essay by Haverkamp, Begemann and Login, titled “Creative copies”, appeared in 1988 and contained the best examples of the main collections. The last but not least important consequence was the collaboration between international museums, using their own spaces, with contemporary artists. The hermeneutic drawings and paintings by Markus Lüpertz in the Munich Glyptotheck and the exhibition of Giacometti’s drawings shown in the IVAM in 2000 are two excellent examples of the European relevance in this field. I want to analyze here twenty years of drawing done in different museums and institutions around the world and its close relationship with the process of recovering our historical memory by using visual art.

van de Kamp, Marie-Thérèse; Admiraal, Wilfried; van Drie, Jannet; Rijlaarsdam, Gert

2015-03-01

The main purposes of visual arts education concern the enhancement of students' creative processes and the originality of their art products. Divergent thinking is crucial for finding original ideas in the initial phase of a creative process that aims to result in an original product. This study aims to examine the effects of explicit instruction of meta-cognition on students' divergent thinking. A quasi-experimental design was implemented with 147 secondary school students in visual arts education. In the experimental condition, students attended a series of regular lessons with assignments on art reception and production, and they attended one intervention lesson with explicit instruction of meta-cognition. In the control condition, students attended a series of regular lessons only. Pre-test and post-test instances tests measured fluency, flexibility, and originality as indicators of divergent thinking. Explicit instruction of meta-cognitive knowledge had a positive effect on fluency and flexibility, but not on originality. This study implies that in the domain of visual arts, instructional support in building up meta-cognitive knowledge about divergent thinking may improve students' creative processes. This study also discusses possible reasons for the demonstrated lack of effect for originality. © 2014 The British Psychological Society.

Borrando los límites: Deconstrucción interdisciplinar del concepto de espacio público

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Edwin Aguirre Ramírez

2016-06-01

Full Text Available Ante el surgimiento de puntos de encuentro entre diversas disciplinas que hablan de la ciudad o de lo urbano, el texto procura una deconstrucción del concepto de espacio público. Se expone una discusión entre autores de ámbitos tales como la antropología, la sociología, la geografía, el urbanismo y la arquitectura. La disolución de los límites entre disciplinas y las diversas formas de abordaje teórico y metodológico de las mismas se hacen evidentes al abundar en una relación clave: la del sujeto y el espacio habitable. En el artículo se mencionan ciertas nociones asociadas al concepto de espacio público: territorio, lugar, paisaje; inevitablemente estas emergen de las disciplinas que le dan sentido, pero la deconstrucción manifiesta que ahora, por ejemplo, la antropología precisa del aporte de visiones macro, mientras que el urbanismo no puede obviar la preponderancia del sujeto para el estudio, la planificación o el diseño de los espacios abiertos. Esto, visto como un desafío para cada una de las disciplinas implicadas, acarrea la posibilidad de que aparezcan nuevas preguntas de investigación y pone en la mesa el modo en que el concepto se ha transformado, permaneciendo vigente. Esto, posiblemente cuestione aquellas voces que anuncian la muerte del espacio público.

Lima: espacio público en transición. La plaza de la democracia 2006

Johanna Hamann

2012-03-01

Full Text Available La estructura urbana de una ciudad es una realidad viva en constante transformación habitada, compartida y apropiada por ciudadanos y ciudadanas. En particular, los espacios públicos, como espacios de todos, son escenarios sensibles en que la ciudadanía manifiesta “visiblemente” esta apropiación. La Marcha de los Cuatro Suyos del año 2000 y los posteriores hechos violentos que desembocaron en la destrucción e incendio del Banco de la Nación fueron el escalón inicial en un proceso político en que la ciudadanía limeña buscó un cambio hacia la democracia, ante la intencionalidad del presidente Alberto Fujimori de perpetuarse en el poder. A raíz de estos hechos, se creó la Plaza de la Democracia en el espacio vacío que quedó después del incendio. Sin embargo, aunque esta plaza nació a la luz de una protesta social, la falta de voluntad política del gobierno de Alejandro Toledo de relacionar y coordinar arte público, paisaje, ciudad y patrimonio no tuvo eco en las primeras respuestas de reconstrucción del espacio. Proponemos la realización del proyecto “Urin Kancha”2 para visibilizar la viabilidad de intervenir este espacio público, aludiendo a la memoria de la configuración misma del territorio donde se asienta Lima, la capital del Perú, mediante una intervención tipo huaca, que a la vez de remitirnos a los ocupantes nativos de Lima, rememora también al espacio como un sepulcro, rindiendo así homenaje a los seis guardianes del Banco de la Nación, que murieron trágicamente.

Images as a Substitute for Words? The Notion of Visual Arts in Early Christian Writings

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Tine Germ

2011-07-01

Full Text Available This article deals with the relation between verbal and visual communication in the early Christian era and its influence on the perception of visual arts in the Middle Ages. Taking as its starting point the famous statement by Pope Gregory the Great that “what Scripture is to the educated, images are to the ignorant, who read in them what they cannot read in books,” it traces the issue back to the early church fathers and Christian apologists, who rejected the practice of making images of God and other sacred images. Many of them categorically condemned the visual arts and branded artists as sinners that supported idolatry with works of art. The theological arguments against sacred images concentrate on the idea that it is completely impossible for any human being to imagine what God looks like, let alone make an image of Him. The only possible way to visualize and depict God is through symbolic and allegorical images. This idea, clearly formulated by Origen, marks the position of later church fathers as well, although even by the early fourth century the attitude towards sacred images and the visual arts had become less austere. Eusebius of Caesarea followed Origen in his speculation on sacred images, yet he described the statue of Christ with the woman that had an issue of blood in his native Caesarea without questioning the artist’s intention to render the image of Christ realistically and thus recreate the figure of the historical Jesus. Eusebius and the church fathers of the fifth century realized that the visual arts were very important media and could be applied to the purpose of the Church: images could be useful in spreading Christian teachings, illustrating interpretations of the Scriptures, and rendering them more comprehensible. Biblical exegesis thus found its counterpart in the allegorical and narrative motifs of early Christian art. Although the didactic value of early Christian art prevailed at least in the polemics on art

Visual discourse of the clove: An analysis on the Ottoman tile decoration art

2012-12-01

Full Text Available In tile art, one of the world-famous Turkish Handicrafts, a wide variety of patterns are used on tile objects. The most common of these, after the tulip pattern, is the naturalist clove pattern. Different meanings were assigned to this pattern within the boundaries of form, color and design. Identification and perception of these meanings have a special place within the frame of the culture that they relay. In this present study the fields of meaning of the clove pattern frequently used in tile decoration arts among Turkish handicrafts were tried to be determined. By taking Greimas' Actantial Model as the theoretical model, in the study visual discourse analysis of the clove pattern will be made.Keywords: Clove Pattern, Ottoman Tile Art, Greimas, Visual Discourse.

Género, espacio y lugar: la experiencia del servicio en el hogar rural de la temprana Edad Moderna

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Amanda Flather

2017-12-01

Full Text Available Este artículo examina la organización y el uso del espacio doméstico de los sirvientes durante el siglo XVII y en hogares de clase media. Relaciona los modelos de cambio arquitectónico y social con las formas en que los individuos describieron su experiencia y uso del espacio doméstico en los registros judiciales. Concluye que, si bien existía una tendencia a separar el trabajo y los espacios de vida de los sirvientes del resto de la familia, una casa moderna temprana no era aquella en la que los patrones sociales rígidos y estáticos estaban mapeados. Una serie de factores sociales lucharon por definir el carácter social de un espacio, una lucha que giró en torno a los conceptos de control y uso en lugar de separación o segregación según el estatus o el género. Los patrones espaciales fueron efímeros, no obstante, es posible ilustrar cómo algunos aspectos de las relaciones sociales de la familia se reflejaron y se reforzaron por la forma en que se organizó y utilizó el espacio doméstico.

Art as Visual Research: The tendency in New Tendencies

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Armin Medosch

2015-12-01

Full Text Available This article presents the international movement New Tendencies (1961-1978 as one of the first large scale international art movements that made artist-led research a core concern. New Tendencies adopted ideas and methods from Gestalt psychology, a holistic, experimental form of psychological research, and combined it with the idea of liberating the viewer from alienation. This paper will primarily focus on the first phase of New Tendencies, from 1961 to 1963, when the movement developed its new aesthetics and poetics. The viewer was made a participant in the work by creating a relational field between work and viewer, whereby visual research was meant to replace the notion of art. This happened in the social context of the time, characterised by rapid modernisation processes in industry summarised by the term “automation”, and by a cultural Cold War in which art was exploited by both East and West.

Here, KAPTUR This! Identifying and Selecting the Infrastructure Required to Support the Curation and Preservation of Visual Arts Research Data

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Leigh Garrett

2013-11-01

Full Text Available Research data is increasingly perceived as a valuable resource and, with appropriate curation and preservation, it has much to offer learning, teaching, research, knowledge transfer and consultancy activities in the visual arts. However, very little is known about the curation and preservation of this data: none of the specialist arts institutions have research data management policies or infrastructure and anecdotal evidence suggests that practice is ad hoc, left to individual researchers and teams with little support or guidance. In addition, the curation and preservation of such diverse and complex digital resources as found in the visual arts is, in itself, challenging. Led by the Visual Arts Data Service, a research centre of the University for the Creative Arts, in collaboration with the Glasgow School of Art; Goldsmiths College, University of London; and University of the Arts London, and funded by JISC, the KAPTUR project (2011-2013 seeks to address the lack of awareness and explore the potential of research data management systems in the arts by discovering the nature of research data in the visual arts, investigating the current state of research data management, developing a model of best practice applicable to both specialist arts institutions and arts departments in multidisciplinary institutions, and by applying, testing and piloting the model with the four institutional partners. Utilising the findings of the KAPTUR user requirement and technical review, this paper will outline the method and selection of an appropriate research data management system for the visual arts and the issues the team encountered along the way.

2012-07-01

Wait times have been reported to be one of the most important concerns for people visiting emergency departments (EDs). Affective states significantly impact perception of wait time. There is substantial evidence that art depicting nature reduces stress levels and anxiety, thus potentially impacting the waiting experience. To analyze the effect of visual art depicting nature (still and video) on patients' and visitors' behavior in the ED. A pre-post research design was implemented using systematic behavioral observation of patients and visitors in the ED waiting rooms of two hospitals over a period of 4 months. Thirty hours of data were collected before and after new still and video art was installed at each site. Significant reduction in restlessness, noise level, and people staring at other people in the room was found at both sites. A significant decrease in the number of queries made at the front desk and a significant increase in social interaction were found at one of the sites. Visual art has positive effects on the ED waiting experience. Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

The Rhetoric of Multi-Display Learning Spaces: exploratory experiences in visual art disciplines

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Brett Bligh

2010-11-01

Full Text Available Multi-Display Learning Spaces (MD-LS comprise technologies to allow the viewing of multiple simultaneous visual materials, modes of learning which encourage critical reflection upon these materials, and spatial configurations which afford interaction between learners and the materials in orchestrated ways. In this paper we provide an argument for the benefits of Multi-Display Learning Spaces in supporting complex, disciplinary reasoning within learning, focussing upon our experiences within postgraduate visual arts education. The importance of considering the affordances of the physical environment within education has been acknowledged by the recent attention given to Learning Spaces, yet within visual art disciplines the perception of visual material within a given space has long been seen as a key methodological consideration with implications for the identity of the discipline itself. We analyse the methodological, technological and spatial affordances of MD-LS to support learning, and discuss comparative viewing as a disciplinary method to structure visual analysis within the space which benefits from the simultaneous display of multiple partitions of visual evidence. We offer an analysis of the role of the teacher in authoring and orchestration and conclude by proposing a more general structure for what we term ‘multiple perspective learning’, in which the presentation of multiple pieces of visual evidence creates the conditions for complex argumentation within Higher Education.

El artículo ha seguido un tipo de análisis que, en lugar de abundar en la importancia de los discursos e ideologías sobre el hogar, enfatiza el componente de las prácticas espaciales. De esta forma se ha podido demostrar que las mujeres encuentran su identidad de género no desde la imposición de lógicas abstractas, como la del patriarcado o la de la división público privado, sino desde una creación y una vivencia cotidiana de los espacios generizados del hogar.

Cada uno de éstos inicia su discurso con la formulación de una hipótesis a demostrar que funciona como desencadenante de un proceso de investigación que pone en juego conocimientos, raciocinio y capacidad de evaluación de cada estudiante a través de ejercicios que trabajan con el levantamiento gráfico de espacios fílmicos, lenguajes cinematográficos y sistemas perceptivos de significación, para detectar espacios arquitectónicos arquetípicos comunes a diferentes filmes. En el caso especial de esta ejercitación, la propuesta está dirigida al análisis del espacio interior doméstico y su equipamiento.

Seeing patients and life contexts: the visual arts in medical education.

Science.gov (United States)

Boisaubin, E V; Winkler, M G

2000-05-01

In many ways, the practice of medicine has been a visual science from the time of the early Renaissance anatomists to the high-speed scanners of today. But images of patients and their anatomical parts do not necessarily lead to an understanding of their problems. Meaning must follow the sensory experience and be coupled with reflection. The visual arts, therefore, can be used to help physicians in training increase their observational and interpretive skills. Works by classic and contemporary artists can be used to increase awareness of the complex nature of human beings and their conditions, which lie beneath the appearances. In addition to painting, television, motion pictures, and printed media may also be used in classroom settings to educate. Medical schools that do not have accessible fine arts or humanities programs may form allegiances with local artists to increase communication and understanding between these disciplines.

La estética, el arte y el lenguaje visual

Clara Tamayo de Serrano

2002-01-01

Full Text Available El lenguaje se ha definido como un conjunto de expresiones simbólicas, un sistema organizado de signos, un producto cultural que proporciona un código para la traducción del pensamiento. Así, el lenguaje es la condición de la cultura que contribuye a crearla y permite que se pueda establecer una comunicación entre todos los hombres. De esta manera, lo mismo que una lengua se aprende en una comunidad lingüística, la lectura de las imágenes se aprende en el contexto de una cultura. Hay una relación de intercambio recíproco entre el lenguaje literario y el lenguaje artístico con la cultura. Y a su vez, el arte es quizá el modo más sublime de expresar los sentimientos, por lo cual el lenguaje del arte es un diálogo y una comunicación directa y profunda entre todos, aunque se hablen diferentes lenguas. Un recorrido por la Historia del Arte, permite evidenciar la profunda relación entre arte, estética y lenguaje visual.

Espacio y tiempo en el siglo XXI: velocidad, instantaneidad y su repercusión en la comunicación humana

Germán Llorca Abad

2015-12-01

Full Text Available El espacio y el tiempo son dos conceptos que permiten al ser humano poner orden y comprender aquello que le rodea. La digitalización que caracteriza al siglo XXI ha resignificado estos parámetros reduciendo su valor a un aquí y ahora, minimizando las distancias y los márgenes temporales. El presente artículo expone en primer lugar un estado de la cuestión sobre el estudio del espacio y del tiempo y la influencia de la tecnología en estos conceptos. Asimismo reflexiona sobre la celeridad que domina los ritmos diarios; cómo las nuevas tecnologías han fomentado una dictadura de la instantaneidad que se ha normalizado sin cuestionar sus consecuencias. El espacio y el tiempo también se confunden en la red. Lo público y lo privado convergen en ella. La información que los usuarios comparten en Internet puede ser usada con fines poco lícitos. Finalmente, el artículo aborda el problema de exclusión social asociado a la brecha digital y propone soluciones para una alfabetización digital que fomente el uso responsable de las herramientas de comunicación digital.

Full Text Available A partir de 1979 el “Colectivo de acciones de arte” (CADA interviene el espacio urbano, a través de Performances que buscan sorprender y concientizar al ciudadano sobre temas urgentes en el ámbito reprimido del Chile dictatorial. Ello bajo influencias vanguardistas de transformar la ciudad en un museo y la vida, en una obra de arte para corregir, con la utopía metafísico-revolucionaria de volver a unir la comunidad. Llegada la democracia, surge un nuevo escenario en que gran parte del arte se repliega sobre sí mismo. Sin embargo, video-artistas como Guillermo Cifuentes aparecen con nuevas propuestas que reavivan la figura de la ciudad, como símbolo de la actual sociedad de consumo a partir de una mirada intimista que la crítica, des-construye y fragmenta en una motivación neo-vanguardista. El propósito del presente análisis es dar cuenta de estas dos visiones sobre el arte, la sociedad y lo político en el escenario de lo urbano. Abstract: Since 1979 the “Colectivo de acciones de arte” (CADA participates at the public space, through Performances that search to surprise and to make aware to the citizen about important subjects from the repressed Chili in dictatorship. Under influences avant-garde, he wishes that the city becomes a museum and life, a piece of art in order to improve. This with the utopia metaphysics-revolutionary of to join the comunity again. Arriving the democracy, it emerges a new scene in that big part of art shuts oneself in. Nevertheless, video artists like Guillermo Cifuentes appear with new proposals which bring back to life the image of city, as a symbol of the present consumer society, from a “intimist” look. Now the urban place is judged and fragmented in a renovate avant-garde motivation. The aim of the analysis is give account about this two views of art, society and politic.

Full Text Available What is visual art? What are paintings? What are films? Although innumerous answers have been proposed to these questions, we here analyze the paintings and films of several visual artists, who suffered from a well-defined neuropsychological deficit, visuo-spatial hemineglect, following vascular stroke to the right brain. We focus our analysis in particular on the oeuvre of Lovis Corinth and Luchino Visconti and point out aspects of their post-stroke paintings and films (that differ from their pre-stroke work and argue that these changes may be associated with visuo-spatial hemineglect. We discuss how the neuropsychological investigation of visual artists may allow us to investigate the relationship between brain and art.

Art in cancer care: Exploring the role of visual art-making programs within an Energy Restoration Framework.

Science.gov (United States)

Kirshbaum, Marilynne N; Ennis, Gretchen; Waheed, Nasreena; Carter, Fiona

2017-08-01

In contrast to art-therapy, little is known about the role of art-making for people who have been diagnosed with cancer, and even less is known about program-based art-making. This study explored the experience of participation in a visual art-making program for people during and after cancer treatment in the Northern Territory of Australia. A longitudinal, qualitative, single cohort study was undertaken. Eight women diagnosed with breast and/or ovarian cancer participated in weekly art-making sessions over eight weeks, facilitated by two professional artists. Data were collected before, during and after the sessions by interviews and group discussions. The Energy Restoration Framework was used to document and analyse the benefits of participation in terms of the a priori themes of: Expansive, Belonging, Nurturing and Purposeful. The four a priori themes were retained and an additional attribute of an energy restoration activity called Stimulating was added, along with sub-themes, which broadened and deepened understanding of the art-making experience within cancer care. Involvement in an activity that was expansive, new, beautiful and fascinating was highly valued in addition to the appreciation for being with and belonging to a supportive and accepting group facilitated by dynamic artists. There is much scope for continued research and promotion of art-making programs as an adjunct to cancer treatment. Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Telerobotic Haptic Exploration in Art Galleries and Museums for Individuals with Visual Impairments.

Science.gov (United States)

Park, Chung Hyuk; Ryu, Eun-Seok; Howard, Ayanna M

2015-01-01

This paper presents a haptic telepresence system that enables visually impaired users to explore locations with rich visual observation such as art galleries and museums by using a telepresence robot, a RGB-D sensor (color and depth camera), and a haptic interface. The recent improvement on RGB-D sensors has enabled real-time access to 3D spatial information in the form of point clouds. However, the real-time representation of this data in the form of tangible haptic experience has not been challenged enough, especially in the case of telepresence for individuals with visual impairments. Thus, the proposed system addresses the real-time haptic exploration of remote 3D information through video encoding and real-time 3D haptic rendering of the remote real-world environment. This paper investigates two scenarios in haptic telepresence, i.e., mobile navigation and object exploration in a remote environment. Participants with and without visual impairments participated in our experiments based on the two scenarios, and the system performance was validated. In conclusion, the proposed framework provides a new methodology of haptic telepresence for individuals with visual impairments by providing an enhanced interactive experience where they can remotely access public places (art galleries and museums) with the aid of haptic modality and robotic telepresence.

Art at the Bedside: Reflections on Use of Visual Imagery in Hospital Chaplaincy.

Science.gov (United States)

Dodge-Peters Daiss, Susan

2016-03-01

'Art at the Bedside' is the name given to a hospital visitation program during which works of art loaded onto a computer are used to start conversations with patients and their families. The article traces the genesis of the program that evolved from the author's dual training in art museum education and hospital chaplaincy through the evolution of the practice, now in its sixth year. Reflections on the practice itself are the focus of this article, from identifying the kinds of responses frequently elicited by the artwork to understanding how these works of art seem to forge immediate connections between the patient and the facilitator. Ultimately posed in this reflection is whether the 'Art at the Bedside' experience might suggest a future for the integration of the visual arts more broadly into hospital - and related - chaplaincy. © The Author(s) 2016.

Espacio Público y Paz Social

Full Text Available En el presente siglo estamos asistiendo a una serie de transformaciones del espacio público que afectan al eje central del constitucionalismo, es decir, a la ciudadanía. La globalización, el incremento de los procesos migratorios, las nuevas tecnologías, están provocando una serie de cambios en el entendimiento de los espacios y los tiempos de la democracia, al tiempo que están erosionando algunos de los paradigmas del Estado constitucional. Estas transformaciones están provocando un aumento de la complejidad de nuestras sociedad y, por lo tanto, de los potenciales conflictos. Al tiempo que se someten a debate principios esenciales como el de igualdad o el del pluralismo. Partiendo de la conexión entre “orden político” y “paz social”, fundamentados ambos en la dignidad y los derechos fundamentales, en el trabajo analizamos tres aspectos que inciden en la complejidad de nuestras sociedades: la relación entre los espacios públicos y los privados, la creciente diversidad del espacio público y la participación como derecho fundamental mediante el cual dotamos de contenido democrático a dicho espacio. Todo ello con un análisis que tiene presente la transversalidad de la igualdad de género y desde el convencimiento de que muchos de los retos que planteamos sólo pueden responderse adecuadamente desde una concepción republicana de la democracia en la que el ámbito local es el ámbito más adecuado para el fomento de las virtudes cívicas y el diálogo intercultural.

Espacio y desaparición: los campos de concentración en Argentina

Colombo, Pamela

2011-12-01

Full Text Available The main goal of this article is to investigate how the use of forced disappearances in Argentina (1974-1983 caused modifications to the unique spatial characteristics of their concentration camps. Specifically, I analyze three aspects: the removal within the camps of spatial-temporal references to the disappeared persons, the manner in which these victims remain present within the camps despite their disappearance, and the manner in which the outside space penetrates and superimposes itself upon the camp. This analysis is upheld by personal in depth interviews I had in Tucumán with relatives of the Disappeared and with survivors of the concentration camps.

Partiendo de la hipótesis de que la técnica aniquilación por desaparición forzada de personas en Argentina (1974-1983 reconfiguró el espacio; el trabajo que desarrollo en el presente artículo consiste en indagar acerca de las particularidades de la dimensión espacial en los campos de concentración en Tucumán. El análisis gira en torno a tres ejes centrales: la negación de las referencias espacio-temporales a los detenidos-desaparecidos dentro del campo; el modo en que los desaparecidos «a pesar de todo» se representan un espacio y un tiempo concentracionario; y por último, el modo en que superponen e interpenetran los espacios del afuera con el adentro del campo. Este trabajo de análisis se sustenta en entrevistas en profundidad que he realizado a familiares de desaparecidos y sobrevivientes de campos de concentración en Tucumán.

Concepción del Espacio Sagrado en algunas religiones no cristianas

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Antonio Bentué

2003-01-01

Full Text Available El artículo parte señalando el significado fenomenológico originario del "espacio sagrado", presente en toda tradición religiosa. Tal "espacio", constituye el ámbito privilegiado de la celebración ritual, por la cual los fieles creyentes se conectan con una experiencia "teo-fánica". De ahí que la etimología del término latino "fanum" tenga la connotación de "templo" o "lugar sagrado" y que la referencia a esa "teo-fanía" acontecida "in illo tempore", en ese lugar, tenga una fuerza "fanatizadora". Aquí, pues, se estudia esa perspectiva religiosa referida al "espacio sagrado" en algunos aspectos de cuatro tradiciones religiosas no cristianas: Hinduismo (mito de Sumeru y Amaravati, Tirtha, Budismo (Stupa, Kaidan, Islam (Quibla y mito del "ascenso" de Mahoma y en la tradición religiosa mapuche (Ngillathuhue y Rehue. Se muestra también el proceso "interiorizador" del espacio sagrado que se da en algunas de esas tradiciones religiosas, particularmente en la espiritualidad "mística"(The article points out the phenomenological meaning of the "sacred place", which is found in all religious traditions. This "place" represents the special location of the ritual celebrations, trhough which the believers may come in contact with the original "theo-phanic" experience. That's why the ethimological meaning of the latin word "fanum" has the connotation of "sacred place" and also that the reference to this "teo-fania", which happaned "in illo tempore" in this "place", has a "phanatic"strength. This religious perspective is studied in the present article about the "sacred place" in some aspects of four non christian traditions: Hinduism (the mithe of Sumeru and Amaravati, Thirta, Boudhism (Stupa, Kaidan, Islam (Quibla and the mithe of Mohamed's "ascens", and, finally, in the "mapuche" religious tradition (Ngillathuhue, Rehue. The author shows also the progressive "inner meaning" given to the concept of "sacred place" in some of these religious

RELIGIÓN Y ESPACIO PÚBLICO: EL CONFLICTO EN TORNO A LA REGULACIÓN DEL VELO INTEGRAL ISLÁMICO

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Mar Griera

2016-01-01

Full Text Available En la última década la cuestión del velo integral ha generado acalorados debates políticos en numerosos países europeos y ha sido objeto de una creciente regulación jurídica a nivel europeo, estatal y local. A partir de un estudio de caso, este artículo se centra en analizar en profundidad los procesos de problematización y regulación legal del velo integral en Cataluña. El objetivo es examinar las razones que explican la emergencia de esta problemática y analizar de qué manera se construyen los argumentos que apoyan o desaprueban la regulación local del uso del velo integral en el espacio público. El objetivo es comprender cómo los discursos en torno a la laicidad y la religión en el espacio público se traducen en posiciones concretas, y cómo se configuran, articulan y confrontan diferentes concepciones sobre el significado, y los límites, de la libertad religiosa en el contexto de ese conflicto. El artículo concluye afirmando la necesidad de ubicar el conflicto más allá de la cuestión religiosa y entenderlo, también, como consecuencia de la naturaleza excluyente del espacio público contemporáneo y la creciente regulación de sus usos.

Full Text Available En 1996 se crea, en la Alcaldía de Maracaibo, el Instituto Municipal de Ambiente (IMA para hacer de Maracaibo una "ciudad bonita" y atraer inversiones, recuperando los espacios públicos urbanos, ámbitos clave para la comunicación, la cohesión social y la construcción de ciudad y ciudadanía. El artículo evalúa el impacto de esta política en la ordenación territorial-urbana e imagen de Maracaibo y en la formación de ciudadanía, durante el periodo 1996-2006. Se realizó una revisión documental y de campo, se identificaron y localizaron los espacios públicos recuperados, el modelo de gestión implantado y aplicaron cuestionarios para conocer la opinión de los ciudadanos. Concluyendo que, la recuperación del espacio publico ha impactado positivamente la estructura-imagen de Maracaibo, reconocida por residentes y visitantes y, la autoestima-ciudadanía del marabino y destacando la necesidad de actuar en tres frentes: rechazando los proyectos tendentes a la privatización del espacio público; promoviendo el mantenimiento de los espacios recuperados con la participación activa de los ciudadanos y la cultura de sostenibilidad y, estimulando la aplicación de esta política en los bordes de la ciudad -periferia urbana-, como vía hacia una ciudad y ciudadanía sostenibles.

Imaginación geográfica y agencia política: produciendo espacio público a través del Derecho en Madrid (1992-2012

Pedro Limón L

2014-05-01

Full Text Available El análisis del espacio público ha sido uno de los elementos más controvertidos en la investigación social y política, fundamentalmente por su ambigüedad y polisemia. La confusión entre las nociones de espacio público y esfera pública ha supuesto muchas veces la asimilación de ambos elementos o la asunción de su existencia en términos esencialistas, sin considerar las prácticas políticas concretas que los producen. Desde una perspectiva de la Geografía política crítica del Derecho, el presente artículo muestra cómo ha ido reformulándose la noción y regulación del espacio público en Madrid desde la praxis institucional en las últimas dos décadas. Los resultados muestran tres consecuencias centrales de esa imaginación geográfica producida institucionalmente sobre el espacio urbano -un espacio público restringido a las instituciones, el civismo como estructurador de urbanidad, y la territorialización y fragmentación de múltiples actividades sociales- que, a su vez, invitan a cuestionar y redefinir los espacios públicos madrileños.

Full Text Available Una dimensión de los espacios públicos poco abordada, es la presente en los asentamientos urbanos informales, campamentos o barriadas. Aquí, el espacio público se presenta como un lugar socialmente compartido pero además, como una infraestructura funcional a los mecanismos de sobrevivencia. En el caso del campamento de Pudeto Bajo en Ancud se puede apreciar claramente la dimensión operativa de estos espacios públicos vinculados a las actividades laborales u oficios, tales como la pesca artesanal, accesos compartidos a las viviendas, lugares de acopio de materias primas o herramientas de pesca o como simples patios de juego o traspaso. Al mismo tiempo los espacios públicos de mayor escala se presentan en los bordes, como fronteras entre el campamento y la ciudad actuando como amortiguadores de una relación urbana muchas veces compleja e incluso conflictiva. El rol de estas categorías espaciales es fundamental para el desarrollo del asentamiento: por una parte los espacios públicos interiores vinculados al trabajo evita la generación de espacios en desuso y abandono, y por otra parte los espacios públicos de frontera median la tensión inherente entre las formas de producción urbana informal y la ciudad formal o planificada.

Visualising Migration and Social Division: Insights From Social Sciences and the Visual Arts

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Susan Ball

2010-05-01

Full Text Available In recent years a growing number of social scientists have taken an interest in "the visual". These scholars have utilised and developed a wide range of different visual methodologies. The number of social scientists employing visual methodologies has grown to a point where there are now critical masses of scholars working on particular topics. Alongside this a number of practitioners working in visual arts have taken an interest in the issue of migration. This FQS special issue is devoted to the use of visual methodologies to explore the particular topic of migration and social division. In this introductory article the editors provide a brief introduction to research on "the visual" and research on migration and social division. We then go on to explore what the use of visual methodologies might contribute to research on migration and social division. URN: urn:nbn:de:0114-fqs1002265

Full Text Available Con el objetivo de determinar si la Corporación Colegio San Bonifacio de las Lanzas contribuye con la formación ciudadana de los estu - diantes del grado 5°, a través de la educación artística y los proyectos artísticos que se imparten en la institución, se realizó un estudio de caso, con un seguimiento al trabajo durante cinco años, lo que permitió evidenciar el modo en que a través de la experiencia de conocimiento corporal, emocional, simbólico y estético, se contribuye a la formación del pensamiento creativo y la expresión artística, a partir de manifestaciones materiales e inmateriales, en contextos interculturales que se expresan a través de los diferentes proyectos que, unidos con el arte, la cultura y el patrimonio están contribuyendo a que los individuos se relacionen con la sociedad, se integren a la comunidad, generen identidad, sentido de pertenencia, se unan por espacios de solidaridad, tolerancia, respeto, generando conciencia de grupo, creando vínculos de afecto y lealtad a su ciudad formada a partir de una historia y tradición cultural particular. Por tal motivo, resulta esencial que se tenga en cuenta que los proyectos de formación ciudadana pueden fortalecerse a través de la educación artística, ya que el arte es una fuente de motivación excepcional para niños, niñas y jóvenes si de propiciar la formación de seres con capacidad crítica, autónomos, sensibles y en condiciones propicias para la sana convivencia se trata.

Full Text Available En agosto de 1951, en la ciudad de Darmstadt, el filósofo Martin Heidegger dictó la conferencia "Construir, Habitar, Pensar". De esa reflexión, la teoría de la arquitectura se ha nutrido de substanciales argumentos que le han permitido repensar el espacio no ya en cuanto matriz geométrica del proyecto físico-técnico, motivo central de la estética moderna, sino como algo construido y vivido, es decir, como lugar. En este ensayo, siguiendo las pautas de Heidegger, se bosqueja la idea de que si se examina el famoso texto, conjuntamente con la cabaña que el filósofo ocupaba en la localidad de Todtnauberg, en Alemania, se atisba una noción vinculada a la existencia: el espacio-lugar. Y esta noción, a su vez, nos remite a la pregunta por el espacio en cuanto tal.

CRITICAL THINKING TENDENCY LEVELS OF CANDITATE TEACHER OF VISUAL ARTS IN TERMS OF GENDER FACTOR

2017-04-01

Full Text Available Critical thinking is an organized process aiming at obtaining knowledge in an original way, comparing, using and evaluating it. Critical thinking is a power triggering the knowledge production process and is the energy of knowledge. Science cannot be improved with the verification and repetition of what is known. It is only improved through questioning, emerging new information and new views. One of the high level needs of man in Maslow’s Needs Hierarchy is the realization of oneself. Individuals being able to realize themselves can decide what is true, what is wrong with their free wills. The most important task of education and the education of visual arts is to train creative and productive individuals being able to think all-round, learn how to learn, solve problems, respectful to humans, tolerant, having improved communication skills. It is of great importance to improve critical thinking skills at students in making them attain it. In making them attain these behaviours, it is of vital importance to improve critical thinking skills at students. In the current study, it was aimed to determine critical thinking levels of the candidates of visual arts and to determine whether the tendency of critical thinking differed in terms of gender. The data of the study was gathered through California Critical Thinking Tendency Scale. At the end of the study, it was found that candidate teachers of visual arts had tendency at medium level in general critical thinking. It was also found that the critical thinking tendencies of the candidate teachers of visual arts did not differ in terms of gender.

Arnheim's Gestalt theory of visual balance: Examining the compositional structure of art photographs and abstract images

Science.gov (United States)

McManus, I C; Stöver, Katharina; Kim, Do

2011-01-01

In Art and Visual Perception, Rudolf Arnheim, following on from Denman Ross's A Theory of Pure Design, proposed a Gestalt theory of visual composition. The current paper assesses a physicalist interpretation of Arnheim's theory, calculating an image's centre of mass (CoM). Three types of data are used: a large, representative collection of art photographs of recognised quality; croppings by experts and non-experts of photographs; and Ross and Arnheim's procedure of placing a frame around objects such as Arnheim's two black disks. Compared with control images, the CoM of art photographs was closer to an axis (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal), as was the case for photographic croppings. However, stronger, within-image, paired comparison studies, comparing art photographs with the CoM moved on or off an axis (the ‘gamma-ramp study’), or comparing adjacent croppings on or off an axis (the ‘spider-web study’), showed no support for the Arnheim–Ross theory. Finally, studies moving a frame around two disks, of different size, greyness, or background, did not support Arnheim's Gestalt theory. Although the detailed results did not support the Arnheim–Ross theory, several significant results were found which clearly require explanation by any adequate theory of the aesthetics of visual composition.

More than visual literacy: art and the enhancement of tolerance for ambiguity and empathy.

Science.gov (United States)

Bentwich, Miriam Ethel; Gilbey, Peter

2017-11-10

Comfort with ambiguity, mostly associated with the acceptance of multiple meanings, is a core characteristic of successful clinicians. Yet past studies indicate that medical students and junior physicians feel uncomfortable with ambiguity. Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) is a pedagogic approach involving discussions of art works and deciphering the different possible meanings entailed in them. However, the contribution of art to the possible enhancement of the tolerance for ambiguity among medical students has not yet been adequately investigated. We aimed to offer a novel perspective on the effect of art, as it is experienced through VTS, on medical students' tolerance of ambiguity and its possible relation to empathy. Quantitative method utilizing a short survey administered after an interactive VTS session conducted within mandatory medical humanities course for first-year medical students. The intervention consisted of a 90-min session in the form of a combined lecture and interactive discussions about art images. The VTS session and survey were filled by 67 students in two consecutive rounds of first-year students. 67% of the respondents thought that the intervention contributed to their acceptance of multiple possible meanings, 52% thought their visual observation ability was enhanced and 34% thought that their ability to feel the sufferings of other was being enhanced. Statistically significant moderate-to-high correlations were found between the contribution to ambiguity tolerance and contribution to empathy (0.528-0.744; p ≤ 0.01). Art may contribute especially to the development of medical students' tolerance of ambiguity, also related to the enhancement of empathy. The potential contribution of visual art works used in VTS to the enhancement of tolerance for ambiguity and empathy is explained based on relevant literature regarding the embeddedness of ambiguity within art works, coupled with reference to John Dewey's theory of learning.

2015-06-01

Full Text Available The Crucifixion of Christ is one of the major Biblical events in the context of the four Gospels, also marking one of the most frequently met themes in the iconography of Christian art. The focus of the paper is to underline the main aspects of the visual representation of this tense moment in the history of Christianity, referring to representative works of the artistic heritage inspired by the event of Christ’s death on the cross. Thus, a number of famous works of art history are analyzed in relation to the described composition, the represented characters and their importance. They belong both to traditional artistic fields, such as painting, to modern ones, thus taking into account some of the most popular film representations on this topic.

The beneficial attributes of visual art-making in cancer care: An integrative review.

Science.gov (United States)

Ennis, G; Kirshbaum, M; Waheed, N

2018-01-01

We seek to understand what is known about the use of visual art-making for people who have a cancer diagnosis, and to explore how art-making may help address fatigue in the cancer care context. Art-making involves creating art or craft alone or in a group and does not require an art-therapist as the emphasis is on creativity rather than an overt therapeutic intention. An integrative review was undertaken of qualitative, quantitative and mixed-method studies on art-making for people who have cancer, at any stage of treatment or recovery. An adapted version of Kaplan's Attention Restoration Theory (ART) was used to interpret the themes found in the literature. Fifteen studies were reviewed. Nine concerned art-making programmes and six were focused on individual, non-facilitated art-making. Review results suggested that programme-based art-making may provide participants with opportunities for learning about self, support, enjoyment and distraction. Individual art-making can provides learning about self, diversion and pleasure, self-management of pain, a sense of control, and enhanced social relationships. When viewed through the lens of ART, art-making can be understood as an energy-restoring activity that has the potential to enhance the lives of people with a diagnosis of cancer. © 2017 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

Improving visual observation skills through the arts to aid radiographic interpretation in veterinary practice: A pilot study.

Science.gov (United States)

Beck, Cathy; Gaunt, Heather; Chiavaroli, Neville

2017-09-01

Radiographic interpretation is a perceptual and cognitive skill. Recently core veterinary radiology textbooks have focused on the cognitive (i.e., the clinical aspects of radiographic interpretation) rather than the features of visual observation that improve identification of abnormalities. As a result, the skill of visual observation is underemphasized and thus often underdeveloped by trainees. The study of the arts in medical education has been used to train and improve visual observation and empathy. The use of the arts to improve visual observation skills in Veterinary Science has not been previously described. Objectives of this pilot study were to adapt the existing Visual Arts in Health Education Program for medical and dental students at the University of Melbourne, Australia to third year Doctor of Veterinary Medicine students and evaluate their perceptions regarding the program's effects on visual observation skills and confidence with respect to radiographic interpretation. This adaptation took the form of a single seminar given to third year Doctor of Veterinary Medicine students. Following the seminar, students reported an improved approach to radiographic interpretation and felt they had gained skills which would assist them throughout their career. In the year following the seminar, written reports of the students who attended the seminar were compared with reports from a matched cohort of students who did not attend the seminar. This demonstrated increased identification of abnormalities and greater description of the abnormalities identified. Findings indicated that explicit training in visual observation may be a valuable adjunct to the radiology training of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine students. © 2017 American College of Veterinary Radiology.

Dos visiones del espacio marino como modernidad. Entre la poesía de Rubén Darío y la pintura de Joaquín Sorolla

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Acereda, Alberto

2003-06-01

Full Text Available The representation of the marine space in Hispanic fin-de-siècle allows us to establish some comments to carry out a new reading of the difficult concept of modernity. The present article studies two visions of the marine space as modernity. On the one hand, the paintings by the Spaniard Joaquin Sorolla present the marine space as a locus amoenus, and as a place for enjoyment where art becomes an economic object. On the other hand, the Nicaraguan poet Rubén Darío intented to create an art opposed to materialism, and he gave us a vision of the ocean linked to a metaphysical meditation of existential tones. Darío was familiar with Joaquin Sorolla's paintings and he even wrote short essays on them. This particular aspect allows us to prove in a clearer way the differences in their visions about modernity and art.La representación del espacio marino en el fin de siglo hispánico permite establecer algunas consideraciones que favorecen una nueva lectura sobre el difícil concepto de modernidad. El presente artículo estudia dos visiones del espacio marino como modernidad. Por un lado, la pintura del español Joaquín Sorolla percibe el espacio marino como locus amoenus y marco de diversión por el que el arte se convierte en un objeto económico. Por otro lado, el poeta nicaragüense Ruben Darío aspiró a un arte opuesto al materialismo y planteó una visión del mar ligada a una reflexión metafísica de signo existencial. Darío conoció la pintura de Joaquín Sorolla y hasta en algún caso realizó breves comentarios de ella. Esta particularidad nos permite probar de manera más clara las diferencias en sus visiones sobre la modernidad y el arte.

Art expertise modulates the emotional response to modern art, especially abstract: an ERP investigation

Science.gov (United States)

Else, Jane E.; Ellis, Jason; Orme, Elizabeth

2015-01-01

Art is one of life’s great joys, whether it is beautiful, ugly, sublime or shocking. Aesthetic responses to visual art involve sensory, cognitive and visceral processes. Neuroimaging studies have yielded a wealth of information regarding aesthetic appreciation and beauty using visual art as stimuli, but few have considered the effect of expertise on visual and visceral responses. To study the time course of visual, cognitive and emotional processes in response to visual art we investigated the event-related potentials (ERPs) elicited whilst viewing and rating the visceral affect of three categories of visual art. Two groups, artists and non-artists viewed representational, abstract and indeterminate 20th century art. Early components, particularly the N1, related to attention and effort, and the P2, linked to higher order visual processing, was enhanced for artists when compared to non-artists. This effect was present for all types of art, but further enhanced for abstract art (AA), which was rated as having lowest visceral affect by the non-artists. The later, slow wave processes (500–1000 ms), associated with arousal and sustained attention, also show clear differences between the two groups in response to both type of art and visceral affect. AA increased arousal and sustained attention in artists, whilst it decreased in non-artists. These results suggest that aesthetic response to visual art is affected by both expertise and semantic content. PMID:27242497

Full Text Available El presente artículo pretende aportar elementos al conocimiento del proceso de transición a la democracia en el campo intelectual argentino. En diálogo con la literatura existente sobre el período, se explora un aspecto poco atendido que corresponde a la apertura democrática producida en el entramado societal que va en paralelo con la recuperación de las garantías constitucionales. Nos referimos en particular a las transformaciones producidas por la constitución de sujetos políticos ligados al movimiento por las libertades sexuales. En ese marco, el foco se ubica en el ingreso de activistas gays al espacio de las artes visuales, cuyas posiciones artísticas producen rupturas con respecto a los criterios dominantes. Para ello se propone una interpretación de las trayectorias de Jorge Gumier Maier y Marcelo Pombo, destacando una relación de continuidad entre una posición disidente con respecto a la norma sexual, y frente a las jerarquías de la cultura legítima

2010-01-01

Full Text Available Este artículo tiene como propósito hacer un acercamiento al espacio como elemento fundamental de la novela para, desde allí, identificar la validez del análisis de la focalización en el estudio de las relaciones que se establecen entre el espacio y los personajes que lo habitan. De ahí la organización del texto en dos partes fundamentales: la primera, dedicada a sustentar el espacio como un elemento significativo y estructurante de la novela, cuya construcción está asociada con los personajes que lo habitan, que son a su vez influenciados, e incluso, en algunos casos determinados, por éste, y la segunda, dedicada a presentar, de manera más esquemática y con el apoyo de ejemplos, los agentes, objetos y aspectos de la focalización.

El lugar como categoría de análisis del espacio público. Complejidad, (inmaterialidad, resignificación y planificación del espacio público.

Full Text Available La complejidad es una propiedad inherente a los espacios urbanos. Dentro de ellos, los espacios públicos muestran en la actualidad una complejidad creciente y variable, acorde a las diversas formas de percibir, concebir, producir y consumir estos espacios. Los espacios públicos se conforman de multiplicidad de lugares. Los lugares son síntesis de formascontenidos y revelan la compleja trama de relaciones que subyacen al espacio urbano. El concepto de lugar ofrece alternativas para la observación, análisis y actuación sobre el ambiente urbano y especialmente del espacio público, en tanto en él se materializan intercambios sociales, culturales, políticos y económicos. En un intento por descubrir la relación dialéctica naturaleza-sociedad en el espacio público, recurrimos al concepto de lugar como categoría analítica para interpretar la materialidad e inmaterialidad en los procesos de producción y consumo del espacio público urbano y, para captar la importancia de su complejidad en miras a la formulación de políticas públicas y al rol que luego estas juegan en dichos procesos.

Las mujeres, el deporte y los espacios públicos: ausencias y protagonismos

Anna Vilanova

2008-03-01

Full Text Available El uso y la percepción del espacio tienen una fuerte carga cultural de género, ya que tradicionalmente el espacio público se ha considerado como masculino y el espacio privado como femenino. Los resultados del estudio que se presenta a continuación reflejan todavía estas circunstancias, ya que la presencia femenina en el uso deportivo del espacio público destaca, precisamente, por su ausencia. Aun así, el análisis de las redes sociales femeninas que se forman en el espacio público a través del deporte revela cómo se pueden generar espacios de negociación en que las mujeres disfrutan también de los espacios de la ciudad para la práctica deportiva.

En busca del arte contemporáneo: exposiciones de arte en Bucaramanga 1960-1979

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Andrés Leonardo Caballero

2012-01-01

Full Text Available Este artículo expone el ambiente artístico vivido en Bucaramanga durante las décadas de 1960 y 1970. Exposiciones y concursos de arte fueron organizados en la ciudad por diversas instituciones, sin embargo, no generaron los espacios suficientes para dar apoyo a los nacientes artistas educados por los distinguidos pintores de la ciudad, egresados de escuelas academicistas europeas. Bucaramanga era una ciudad carente de formación en artes plásticas a nivel profesional, y la mayoría de sus artistas complementaba o iniciaba su formación artística fuera del departamento de Santander, anulándose la posibilidad de un arte contemporáneo generado desde la región. Fue hasta 1973 que Jorge Mantilla Caballero organizó un colectivo artístico que apostaba por el arte contemporáneo, y así empezó a solidificar lo que en esa época proclamaba la esfera nacional e internacional de las artes plásticas. En el artículo se documentó la transición del arte costumbrista a las tendencias y temáticas del arte contemporáneo, tomando como fuente primaria la literatura artística de la época, especialmente fuentes periódicas y catálogos de arte.

What can an image tell? Challenges and benefits of using visual art as a research method to voice lived experiences of students and teachers

Full Text Available As humans, we have the ability to use many forms of “language” to express our self and our experiences, where visual art, an image, is one. Accordingly, experiences can be described in many different ways. In this paper we describe the challenges and benefits of using visual art as a research method to voice lived experiences of students and teachers based on life-world phenomenology. We give three examples of the analysis of visual art works, such as photographs, lino prints, and drawings made by students and teachers, as a way to express their lived experiences of different phenomena. The conclusion is that there are limits with using visual art as the sole source of empirical data. We argue that such data has to be accompanied by oral or written comments to enhance credibility and rigor. A life-world phenomenological analysis of visual art and subsequent comments emphasizes openness and humility to participants’ experiences as well as an all-inclusive understanding of a phenomenon.

Por ello y desde esa perspectiva, analiza algunos aspectos que hacen a la lógica y la dinámica de la trama comunicacional de grafitis impresos en espacio urbano de la ciudad de Salta. El análisis no solo recae en el contenido y la forma de estas manifestaciones anónimas sino también y fundamentalmente, sobre la dimensión espacial de esta práctica a fin de dar cuenta cómo y de qué forma gestiona y estructura atributos de masculinidad y femineidad en el espacio. El trabajo también confronta y compara aquellos grafitis localizados en espacios públicos abiertos (calles, monumentos, persianas metálicas, etc. y los grafitis ubicados en espacios públicos cerrados (baños públicos, en diálogo con los procesos de construcción y diferenciación espacial entre hombres y mujeres a partir de la histórica y jerárquica dicotomía espacial público –privado. La propuesta se enmarca dentro de un proyecto de investigación que busca realizar aportes a la vertiente teórico-crítica de la geografía de género mediante un análisis que parta de la espacialidad construía por la trama comunicacional de grafitis presentes en el espacio urbano de la ciudad de Salta. Creemos que el estudio de las formas a partir de las cuales se construyen y distribuyen “masculinidades” y “femineidades” mediante la escritura y el contenido de grafitis nos permitirá agudizar la comprensión de las relaciones existentes entre género y espacio.

Scenario of research in Visual Arts and the inter-relations with inclusion: A look in the scientific production of the anpad 2004-2011 proceedings

2012-09-01

Full Text Available This article is a continuum of the research that started to be developed in 2009 and was expanded in 2011. It aims to map and to analyze the scenario of the research in Visual Arts, and the inter-relation with the social inclusion. The quantitative and qualitative approach used was based on the narratives and discourses within the work published in the Proceedings of the National Meeting of Researchers in Arts (Encontro Nacional dos Pesquisadores em Artes Plásti- cas – ANPAP. To identify and analyze the inter-relations of Visual Arts with the inclusion, it was developed a documental analysis of the issues of ANPAP Proceedings, from 2004 to 2011, resulting in an amount of 229 productions. We found that the scientific production is increasing every year. However, it seems that it was just from the year 2006 that there has been an increasing intensity of the research on Visual Arts, although tenuously inter-related to the social inclusion. From this analysis we can identify concepts, trends, and diversity of research problems on the inter-relation of the Visual Arts and Inclusion. And it can be inferred that in the last eight years, there was a deeper understanding in relation to inclusive conceptions and practices, even being still tenuous, compared to the entire amount of scientific research on the Visual Arts.

¿Son arte las series de televisión?

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Horacio Muñoz Fernández

2016-05-01

Full Text Available Desde que comenzó el boom de las series de televisión, los esfuerzos intelectuales de algunos críticos y especialistas se han centrado en legitimar unos contenidos visuales que emitidos en por un medio tan denostado culturalmente como es la televisión. Como ha explicado el filósofo José Luis Pardo, este proceso siempre ocurre cuando productos de la cultura popular superan el espacio que socialmente han tenido asignado. Las series de televisión han sido objeto de dos procesos sancionadores que buscaban ennoblecerlas. Por un lado, se les otorgó legitimidad estética aplicando cánones de la alta cultura. Así las series empezaron a compararse con la literatura, la novela por entregas o el arte. Por el otro, legitimidad moral considerando muchas obras como de protesta social, denuncia o testimonio. Javier Marías, Marta Sanz o Vicente Luis Mora han criticado este alto estatus cultural que han adquirido como consecuencia de su popularidad. Este último, por ejemplo, ha puesto en duda que las series televisión pudiesen ser consideradas como arte porque no favorecen una experiencia estética profunda sino una especie de sucedáneo, un ersatz que requiere poco esfuerzo intelectual. Aunque era necesario pinchar la burbuja cultural de las series, la crítica a su posible condición artística ha pecado de esencialista en su intento de separar o diferenciar lo que es el arte de lo que pertenece al ámbito de la cultura y el entretenimiento.

How cultural capital, habitus and class influence the responses of older adults to the field of contemporary visual art.

Science.gov (United States)

Newman, Andrew; Goulding, Anna; Whitehead, Christopher

2013-10-01

This article explores the responses of 38 older people to contemporary visual art through the results of a 28-month study entitled, Contemporary Visual Art and Identity Construction: Wellbeing amongst Older People . A framework for the analysis is provided by previous work on the consumption of art and by Bourdieu's constructs of cultural capital, habitus and field. Five groups of older people, with a range of different backgrounds, were taken to galleries and their responses were recorded, transcribed and analysed. It is concluded that participants' responses are influenced by their cultural capital, habitus and class-which, in turn, are affected by their life course experiences. Those who could not recognise the field (e.g., did not view contemporary art as "art") created their own meanings that they associated with the artworks. Evidence indicates that group dynamics and class mobility are likewise important. Participants also used the experience to respond to real or anticipated age-associated deficits.

Visual art in hospitals: case studies and review of the evidence.

Science.gov (United States)

Lankston, Louise; Cusack, Pearce; Fremantle, Chris; Isles, Chris

2010-12-01

In 2006 a Department of Health Working Group on Arts and Health reported that the arts have 'a clear contribution to make and offer major opportunities in the delivery of better health, wellbeing and improved experience for patients, service users and staff alike'. In this review we examine the evidence underpinning this statement and evaluate the visual art of three of Scotland's newest hospitals: the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, the new Stobhill Hospital, and the new Victoria Infirmary in Glasgow. We conclude that art in hospitals is generally viewed positively by both patients and staff, but that the quality of the evidence is not uniformly high. Effects may be mediated by psychological responses to colour hue, brightness and saturation. Colours that elicit high levels of pleasure with low levels of arousal are most likely to induce a state of calm, while those causing displeasure and high levels of arousal may provoke anxiety. The fact that patients frequently express a preference for landscape and nature scenes is consistent with this observation and with evolutionary psychological theories which predict positive emotional responses to flourishing natural environments. Contrary to a view which may prevail among some contemporary artists, patients who are ill or stressed about their health may not always be comforted by abstract art, preferring the positive distraction and state of calm created by the blues and greens of landscape and nature scenes instead.

Full Text Available En el presente artículo se desarrolla una problematización sobre la estadística como instrumento de control y administración biopolítica, donde esta se presenta como un nuevo tipo de formulación espacial que supera de forma sutil e imperceptible la noción panóptica del espacio disciplinario. Mientras el control ejercido sobre el cuerpo en cárceles, escuelas y clínicas es de tipo territorial, local, físico, sedentario y con el objetivo del encierro, la estadística maneja diversas variables de nuestros cuerpos y subjetividades en un espacio abstracto y no territorial. Las grandes bases de datos que pululan por el espacio dominado por aparatos de Estado, compañías de servicios y agencias de marketing nos clasifican y dividen constantemente en diversos espacios sin que nosotros lo sepamos. Esta nueva forma de vigilancia y manipulación de la vida tiene a la estadística como un instrumento para el establecimiento de los cortes adecuados para la reterritorialización. Al ser cortados y medidos en un sistema de registro, las personas/atributos pueblan un territorio-espacio estadístico, por tanto, la estadística dibuja una tierra y a sus habitantes.

Using E-Learning Portfolio Technology To Support Visual Art Learning

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Greer Jones-Woodham

2009-08-01

Full Text Available Inspired by self-directed learning (SDL theories, this paper uses learning portfolios as a reflective practice to improve student learning and develop personal responsibility, growth and autonomy in learning in a Visual Arts course. Students use PowerPoint presentations to demonstrate their concepts by creating folders that are linked to e-portfolios on the University website. This paper establishes the role of learning e-portfolios to improve teaching and learning as a model of reflection, collaboration and documentation in the making of art as a self-directed process. These portfolios link students' creative thinking to their conceptual frameworks. They also establish a process of inquiry using journals to map students' processes through their reflections and peer feedback. This practice argues that learning e-portfolios in studio art not only depends on a set of objectives whose means are justified by an agreed end but also depends on a practice that engages students' reflection about their actions while in their art- making practice. Using the principles of the maker as the intuitive and reflective practitioner, the making as the process in which the learning e-portfolios communicate the process and conceptual frameworks of learning and the eventual product, and the made as evidence of that learning in light of progress made, this paper demonstrates that learning-in-action and reflecting-in and-on-action are driven by self-direction. With technology, students bring their learning context to bear with the use of SDL. Students' use of PowerPoint program technology in making their portfolios is systematic and builds on students' competencies as this process guides students' beliefs and actions about their work that is based on theory and concepts in response to a visual culture that is Trinidad and Tobago. Students' self–directed art-making process as a self directed learning, models the process of articulated learning. Communicating about

Effect of visual art on patient anxiety and agitation in a mental health facility and implications for the business case.

Science.gov (United States)

Nanda, U; Eisen, S; Zadeh, R S; Owen, D

2011-06-01

There is a growing body of evidence on the impact of the environment on health and well-being. This study focuses on the impact of visual artworks on the well-being of psychiatric patients in a multi-purpose lounge of an acute care psychiatric unit. Well-being was measured by the rate of pro re nata (PRN) medication issued by nurses in response to visible signs of patient anxiety and agitation. Nurses were interviewed to get qualitative feedback on the patient response. Findings revealed that the ratio of PRN/patient census was significantly lower on the days when a realistic nature photograph was displayed, compared to the control condition (no art) and abstract art. Nurses reported that some patients displayed agitated behaviour in response to the abstract image. This study makes a case for the impact of visual art on mental well-being. The research findings were also translated into the time and money invested on PRN incidents, and annual cost savings of almost $US30,000 a year was projected. This research makes a case that simple environmental interventions like visual art can save the hospital costs of medication, and staff and pharmacy time, by providing a visual distraction that can alleviate anxiety and agitation in patients. © 2010 Blackwell Publishing.

Locus of control and styles of coping with stress in students educated at Polish music and visual art schools – a cross-sectional study

Nogaj Anna Antonina

2017-06-01

Full Text Available The article focuses on identifying differences in the locus of control and styles of coping with stress among young students who are artistically gifted within the fields of music and visual arts. The research group includes Polish students (n = 354 of both music and visual art schools who develop their artistic talents in schools placing particular emphasis on professional training of their artistic abilities and competences within the field of music or visual arts respectively. We make an assumption that different types of difficult situations experienced by youth educated at music and visual art schools may generate differences in dominating personal traits as well as in their sphere of emotions. The results of crosssectional research in 2013 confirm the assumption regarding differences among music and visual art school students both with regard to the source of the locus of control, understood as the personality variable, and dominating styles of coping with stress. Moreover, a positive correlation between the tendency towards internal locus of control and a task-oriented style of coping with stress in difficult situations has been observed in music school students.

Una multitud de valores de uso: acaso los medios digitales influyen en las dinámicas actuales de producción del espacio público?

2014-12-01

Full Text Available El espacio urbano puede concebirse como una formación de carácter socio-tecnológico resultante de diversos procesos de intercambio global de bienes, servicios e individuos. En la actualidad, el espacio urbano es contenedor de la infraestructura digital que facilita las transacciones electrónicas de los capitales financieros y a su vez es producto del uso de los medios digitales que se benefician de esta infraestructura: redes sociales, blogs, herramientas de geolocalización, entre otros. A través de los mensajes publicados en estas plataformas surge una nueva forma de producción y consumo del espacio. La hipótesis es que estos medios juegan un rol en los procesos contemporáneos de producción de espacio en tanto que aquellas cualidades que se representan en un espacio específico se encuentran igualmente ‘apropiadas’ por estos medios. Estos medios capturan una multitud de valores de usos conferidos simultáneamente a un espacio por una variedad de actores durante el tiempo. Las bases de datos analizadas capturan el volumen de conversaciones en línea generados entre octubre 2012 y Abril 2013 respecto de un centro comercial ‘Pop-up’ localizado en el predio que alberga la estación de metro ‘shoreditch’ y que posee destinación publica: ‘Boxpark Shoreditch’. Este artículo elabora una lógica de interpretación espacial en relación a un espacio público cualificado a través de medios digitales en la ciudad de Londres.

Full Text Available El temor al delito es parte constitutiva de las incertidumbres de las sociedades contemporáneas. Estas incertidumbres se consolidan y expresan en la experiencia diaria de los ciudadanos y en el intercambio simbólico-perceptivo del espacio. El objetivo del artículo consiste en realizar una aproximación al campo de estudio de los espacios subjetivos y, específicamente, a la estigmatización espacial, mediante el análisis de la dimensión espacial de la percepción de inseguridad delictiva a nivel barrial en la ciudad de Resistencia, capital de la provincia del Chaco en Argentina, tomada como sujeto de estudio.

Visual arts and the teaching of the mathematical concepts of shape and space in Grade R classrooms

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Dianne Wilmot

2015-09-01

Full Text Available This article addresses the need for research in the areas of Grade R curriculum and pedagogy, Grade R teacher professional development, and early years mathematics teaching. More specifically, it responds to the need for teacher professional development in Grade R mathematics teaching of the geometric concepts of space and shape. The article describes a study about teachers’ understanding of how visual arts can be used as pedagogical modality. The study was prompted by the findings of a ‘Maths and Science through Arts and Culture Curriculum’ intervention undertaken with Grade R teachers enrolled for a Bachelor of Education (Foundation Phase degree at a South African university. Post-intervention, teachers’ classroom practices did not change, and they were not using visual arts to teach mathematical concepts. The lessons learned from the research intervention may contribute to the wider debate about Grade R teaching and children’s learning.

Cohesión social y espacio de aparición: el papel de los espectadores en el concepto de ciudadanía de Hannah Arendt

2012-01-01

Full Text Available En este artículo se exploran las categorías de cohesión social y espacio de aparición en el concepto de ciudadanía de Hannah Arendt y más específicamente el papel de los espectadores. En el análisis realizado al concepto de ciudadanía en Arendt se expone la paradoja que señala acerca de lo social y lo político, siendo el primero determinante para la cohesión social y el segundo para la construcción y desarrollo de comunidades políticas, cuyo centro de gravedad es la dignidad humana. El artículo parte de consideraciones generales sobre el concepto de ciudadanía en Arendt a fin de adentrar al lector en el espacio de aparición, compartido por actores, pero sobre todo por espectadores, cuya preponderancia sobre lo social cristaliza en la trama plural de historias tejidas acerca de los hechos en el espacio común en que se aparecen unos a otros, equivalente al “entre”, base del ejercicio de la ciudadanía con sus consecuentes implicaciones para el concepto mismo y para los planes y programas emergentes de educación para la ciudadanía y de formación ciudadana.

"It makes me feel like myself": Person-centered versus traditional visual arts activities for people with dementia.

Sauer, Philip E; Fopma-Loy, Joan; Kinney, Jennifer M; Lokon, Elizabeth

2016-09-01

During a 15-month period between February 2010 and April 2011, video data on (n = 38) people with dementia were collected during a person-centered and intergenerational arts activity program called Opening Minds through Art (OMA) at three different long-term care facilities in Ohio. A subsample of the OMA participants (n = 10) were also video recorded during traditional visual arts activities (e.g. coloring books, scrapbooking). A modified version of the Greater Cincinnati Chapter Well-Being Observation Tool© was used to code the intensity and frequency of observed domains of well-being (i.e. social interest, engagement, and pleasure) and ill-being (i.e. disengagement, negative affect, sadness, and confusion). Descriptive results indicate a high percentage of moderate or high intensities of well-being during OMA sessions with little to no ill-being. Paired-sample t-tests comparing OMA vs. traditional visual arts activities showed significantly higher intensity scores for OMA in the domain of engagement and pleasure, as well as significantly lower intensity scores for disengagement. The findings of this exploratory study contribute to the overall discussion about the impact of person-centered, creative-expressive arts activities on people with dementia. © The Author(s) 2014.

Full Text Available Este trabajo tiene como base el proyecto de la Unesco “Políticas culturales y modos de ciudadanía en las sociedades europeas” (MPMC, cuyo objetivo es contribuir a la comprensión de las relaciones entre ciudadanía, inmigración y política local; la interdisciplinariedad es un requisito esencial para comprender dichas relaciones, y entre las múltiples bases disciplinarias en que se fundamenta el MPMC se encuentra la Geografía. El propósito de este artículo, por tanto, es sacar a la luz algunos de los principales temas geográficos relevantes para la investigación del multiculturalismo y de la ciudadanía en las ciudades europeas. El punto de partida de esta investigación es que una persona siempre puede considerarse ciudadano de “alguna parte”. Los derechos formales asociados a la ciudadanía en general se relacionan, salvo algunas excepciones, a ciertos territorios o lugares; sin embargo, las ideas geográficas que se manejan en este artículo apuntan hacia algunos espacios alternativos de ciudadanía y de multiculturalismo.

La particularidad de estas instalaciones-esculturas es que establecen y explicitan diversos tipos de diálogos con la naturaleza. Corresponden a la cristalización de un proceso iniciado el año 1986 en el Departamento de Música de la Universidad de La Serena, Chile, caracterizado por la defensa de la transversalidad disciplinar, en oposición al especialismo. Han participado estudiantes universitarios y niños de su Escuela Experimental de Música; profesores, artistas visuales, compositores e investigadores. La pretensión de que estudiantes construyan estos artefactos, conlleva cumplir como requisito, su empoderamiento, el desarrollo de su capacidad de agencia y creatividad, para que, en colaboración con profesores de diferentes asignaturas artísticas, científicas y humanísticas, incluyan en la mirada estética, la configuración material y estructural de estos aparatos, integrando, así, racionalismo y expresividad.

Mas bien son un campo de generación de conocimiento abstracto desde la vida cotidiana. Ampliamos nuestra perspectiva científica desde las perspectivas individuales hacia la co-investigación como un proceso de aprendizaje entre culturas y disciplinas. La transferencia de ésta a otro nivel significa dejar la estática de los argumentos disciplinarios monolíticos, en dirección a la investigación dialéctica de las relaciones entre (dos o más puntos de vista, de este modo conectando de vuelta el trabajo teórico y los espacios publicos interpretados generados por el mismo proyecto. Reflexionaremos sobre el potencial de los espacios públicos relacionales para estimular procesos de aprendizaje en la academia misma a través de la Investigación-Acción participativa. Después de haber establecido un vínculo dirigido a la co-investigación entre Europa y Latinoamérica, nos interesan las posibilidades epistemológicas que los espacios públicos podrían tener, para las experiencias de aprendizaje científico entre disicplinas y culturas, simulando los espacios sociales y prácticas espaciales heterogéneas en los espacio vividos de las universidades. Es nuestro objetivo proponer un acercamiento basado en acción y reflexión, para cambiar la producción mental de los espacios públicos de manera activa.

State-of-the-Art in GPU-Based Large-Scale Volume Visualization

KAUST Repository

Beyer, Johanna

2015-05-01

This survey gives an overview of the current state of the art in GPU techniques for interactive large-scale volume visualization. Modern techniques in this field have brought about a sea change in how interactive visualization and analysis of giga-, tera- and petabytes of volume data can be enabled on GPUs. In addition to combining the parallel processing power of GPUs with out-of-core methods and data streaming, a major enabler for interactivity is making both the computational and the visualization effort proportional to the amount and resolution of data that is actually visible on screen, i.e. \\'output-sensitive\\' algorithms and system designs. This leads to recent output-sensitive approaches that are \\'ray-guided\\', \\'visualization-driven\\' or \\'display-aware\\'. In this survey, we focus on these characteristics and propose a new categorization of GPU-based large-scale volume visualization techniques based on the notions of actual output-resolution visibility and the current working set of volume bricks-the current subset of data that is minimally required to produce an output image of the desired display resolution. Furthermore, we discuss the differences and similarities of different rendering and data traversal strategies in volume rendering by putting them into a common context-the notion of address translation. For our purposes here, we view parallel (distributed) visualization using clusters as an orthogonal set of techniques that we do not discuss in detail but that can be used in conjunction with what we present in this survey. © 2015 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

Atendiendo a la complejidad del ingreso, al papel destacado de las emociones en este momento tan importante en la vida de un joven y contando con las potencialidades de las tecnologías hoy a nuestro alcance, se diseñó una experiencia en la que se procuró incluir el uso de Facebook como espacio virtual de acompañamiento, apoyo y contención del proceso de ingreso de estudiantes de ingeniería, a partir de la creación de un grupo cerrado. Los resultados muestran que aún cuando la mayoría de los ingresantes consideró de interés formar parte del grupo en Facebook, el dinamismo y la participación en ese contexto fueron bajos. Sin embargo, se advierte una importante participación de los ingresantes en temas vinculados con el ingreso universitario en aquellos espacios virtuales creados por ellos mismos, como por ejemplo, las biografías de sus cuentas personales, lo que da cuenta de que la red social puede ser un recurso interesante en el marco del ingreso -y de hecho, es utilizado- como espacio de expresión de emociones y vivencia.

La construcción discursiva de las artes visuales de los noventa

Full Text Available La reducción discursiva del círculo social del Rojas a la década del 90 y al contexto histórico del neoliberalismo en la Argentina ha sido una operación frecuente por parte de la historia, la crítica y la curaduría hacia los distintos movimientos artísticos del siglo XX. Esta forma de categorización reduce la complejidad de las relaciones sociales y la heterogeneidad de las experiencias estéticas en principios a priori, cristalizándolas en sentidos comunes cuyos efectos se inscriben en el discurso. Un rasgo singular es que el Centro Cultural Rojas fue interpretado por una fracción mayoritaria de la crítica como representante de una alianza de clases que condujo a la sociedad argentina a la crisis de 2001. Sin embargo, ninguno de sus artistas ha establecido un vínculo directo con las clases dominantes ni ha desarrollado en términos relativos una exitosa carrera en el mercado del arte local ni global en comparación con otros artistas que fueron identificados por la crítica con las etiquetas del neo-conceptualismo y el arte político. Este conjunto de indicadores demuestra que aún persiste la matriz del campo del arte moderno, en tanto la legitimidad del mercado y la legitimidad de la crítica de las artes visuales no coinciden en el relato histórico del arte argentino de fin de siglo XX.

Resumen

"Habiendo educado mis ojos en el espectáculo de las cosas, intento deciros lo bello que he encontrado" Le Corbusier (El viaje de Oriente

Desde la temprana fecha de 1911, en que realiza su viaje a Oriente, Le Corbusier nos muestra la capacidad mediadora que tiene la arquitectura para vincular los espacios, para conectar visualmente interior y exterior, para hacernos redescubrir la naturaleza acentuando nuestra percepción consciente. Sus dibujos sobre Villa Adriana, Pompeya, Atenas, etc., son un ejemplo de cómo percibir y plasmar en croquis su observación de la arquitectura y su ámbito exterior, de la captación del papel mediador entre arquitectura y lugar.
En sus textos posteriores, y especialmente en "Vers une  architecture" (1923, así como a través de la experiencia de sus casas en los años veinte, nos mostrará el valor de las  operaciones que acotan, enmarcan y proporcionan una   dimensión de los espacios y del paisaje. Lo que hace de manera explícita y precisa en el texto "Une petite maison" (1923.
Alvar Aalto y, posteriormente, Álvaro Siza, recogerán esta  capacidad de mediación entre arquitectura y lugar, buscando estimular la mirada para alentar la consciencia y el goce de los espacios y de la naturaleza. Las estrategias de la visión que  proponen, sobre todo en el último caso, lo llegan a  emparentar con el compromiso de enseñarnos a mirar y  experimentar del Land Art.
Más allá de las imágenes expresivas y del lenguaje se tratará de ver, mediante ejemplos concretos, como la arquitectura se configura como vehículo de una percepción renovada y  alentadora de los espacios y del lugar.

Full Text Available Este artículo discute la categoría habermasiana de espacio público en el marco de la expansión de las prácticas participativas en América Latina. A través de un contrapunto entre los lineamientos normativos de la democracia deliberativa y ciertos abordajes sociológicos de los dispositivos de participación, el trabajo describe el proceso de planeación participativa en la ciudad de Medellín desde mediados de los 90. Esta experiencia, desplegada en un contexto de hostigamiento paramilitar a las organizaciones populares, permite observar las operaciones concretas que los actores sociales efectúan en el marco de específicas interacciones públicas. Allí, aunque el potencial democratizador del proceso queda en entredicho, se observa las potencialidades de los espacios públicos participativos para ampliar la disposición a la reflexividad y a la movilización ciudadana.

Taste in Art-Exposure to Histological Stains Shapes Abstract Art Preferences.

Science.gov (United States)

Böthig, Antonia M; Hayn-Leichsenring, Gregor U

2017-01-01

Exposure to art increases the appreciation of artworks. Here, we showed that this effect is domain independent. After viewing images of histological stains in a lecture, ratings increased for restricted subsets of abstract art images. In contrast, a lecture on art history generally enhanced ratings for all art images presented, while a lecture on town history without any visual stimuli did not increase the ratings. Therefore, we found a domain-independent exposure effect of images of histological stains to particular abstract paintings. This finding suggests that the 'taste' for abstract art is altered by visual impressions that are presented outside of an artistic context.

Son libros que conectan la ficción y la información con lo que para esos lectores resulta cotidiano y reconocible, situando a la familia en el centro del argumento. Este artículo recala en el espacio familiar analizando los factores que determinan el modo en el que la lectura se integra dentro de los hogares, como paso previo a la exposición de algunas acciones de promoción de la lectura que se pueden articular desde los espacios profesionales que trabajan con familias.
