This unique course consists of faculty lectures and student seminars from the dual lenses of brain science & various art movements. It examines how art is experienced by the viewer & how it might be conceptualized & created by the artist. Topics include, but are not limited to, depth perception, perspective, representing faces & bodies, motion & emotion, visual transformations from 3D to 2D and back again (relevant for art & sculpture), development of expertise in the visual & motor systems & work produced by artists who are healthy & those who have sustained a brain or bodily injury. Objects and artworks from the Sidney & Lois Eskenazi Art Museum at IU Bloomington will serve as examples & focal points for discussion. Assessment based on class-led discussions on group projects & an individual written report (based on a choice of a selected Eshkenazi Museum art object).
