- This kick-off session of Learning to See introduces you to remarkable instances of how painters, sculptors, and architects manipulate value, color, space, composition, reflections, scale, mass, volume, and economy.

What a powerful beginning to illustrate perspective & sense of scale, I am a retiring engineer/physicist who also is a history lover, especially art history, I thank you for a wonderful lecture. BTW, Prof. Ribner is a fantastic photographer himself, if these un-named images were taken by him for class material.
Really enjoyed this lecture and a great way to explore and cover the fundamentals. I feel like I learned a lot!
Great lecture, looking forward to the rest of the series. Thanks for uploading!
I was trying to think of an adjective that would best describes this dissertation and the one that I settled on was, "lovely," it's charming, vigorous, enthusiastic and erudite.
Thank you so much for making it available.
This is fantastic and really accessible. Loved it!
Superb: Speaker/ Mind/ Stamina. Driven intensely by willingness to Share TONS of accumulated perceptions. Teacher ability Beyond compare in: The Fine Arts
Wow those first slides very neat took a lot of work to make that.
Thank you. Days of grief and trouble in Israel so this is a respite...
- wow... great intro!! :D
Why was my comment that Joyce Cary, an IRISH author wrote a book entitled ART and REALITY deleted?
Omg I saw the cockscomb immediately, and no...if you spent outside as a kid in the snow, you noticed the shadows are blue, just like I just noticed that the shadows under 4 tomatoes on my windowsill are all different colors because I've been drawing again and that makes you observant.
Who is the lecturer please?
Jonathan Ribner, associate professor; director of Graduate Admissions, Department of History of Art and Architecture, Boston University!
Lang Lang great? He is kitsch! The Caravaggio a 'door', no it, again, is a window.
A great example , a lecture without any substance.
If he thinks Jimmy Hendrix sounds like accidental feedback he needs to do a course on How to Hear.
Oh my God, right? Hendrix was like the van gogh of music in the way that the older generation just didn't get it andeven thought it was ugly. Still though..it is helpful to learn how to see, but we all have it, and all it takes to start seeing is practicing drawing, preferably in color. I just noticed that each of the shadows under 4 tomatoes on my windowsill are all different colors. That just happened because I started drawing and painting again a few weeks ago. Its because drawing takes observation, and you start becoming automatically observant and then you just start seeing in technicolor all the time and even stuff you thought was boring and ugly before becomes brilliant. Thats why monet painted haystacks 26 times or whatever. He was blown away by how different a simple, everyday thing could look, and through the paintings of artists, especially the impressionists, we get to see in technicolor too. When we see their works, we get to look through their eyes and see what they saw.
@@indoororchidsandtropicals358 color is subjective, value is distinctive.
@@northernhemisphere4906 colour gets the credit but value does the work
@@arrystophanes7909 color is value isn't it
@@arrystophanes7909 i like how you put it though
I also mentioned that chiaroscuro and the names Monet and Devorah were mispronounced.
i'm seeing some horrible lighting on his face LOL - interesting lecture - thx for posting
lighting?
It's a big deal:)
Another example of an art historian who wants to sound like an "artist" by using a vernacular that he knows nothing about.
Using vague adjectives to describe paintings is fine if your audience is not very demanding. I would suggest that you stick to the historical area of art and just be a historian….not a critic, because you fail at that. I'm a professor of painting for forty years.
It is interesting, but I completely agree with you.
Beating around the bush dude. It's obvious. I'm not gonna open my shades
