    I love to see someone publicly addressing this and teaching it. The analytical mind is too often seen as something apart from holistic sense, but in reality everything is connected. Analysis can greatly focus and add depth to feeling.

    When I was a little child I would always stare at the pictures of a book. I would look at the patterns of certain illustrations and the backgrounds, people or creatures, the place and even down to the little shadows. I looked at everything! Even now I find myself getting sucked into images getting a feel for it.. So now, I find myself observing everything, all of the time! I would wonder why.. but now I have an idea. Wonderful, it all makes more sense now. I do think that this can really help people to analyze better.

  • @autonomousAcquaintances
    @autonomousAcquaintances 4 роки тому +51

    I'm an artist and i'm pretty sure you don't need art to figure this stuff out. People who try to explain why art is important are always so dramatic and absurd. They want people to think art is important so they make up reasons that don't really make sense. Art is important for personal expression. It's good for conveying ideas. It's good for historical records. But it's not the soul way we can do things. Id hardly call police records in need of art education.

    I never knew that art had so many real world applications in fields I'm really interested about. Even if I'm making a decision on what to wear for the day. I have to pay special attention to minor details about the weather like how the sky looks, If it seems cloudy but just over cast it might not rain but if its very dark and feels humid outside there might be a good chance that it's going to rain.

    To interpret a piece of art and a scene of crime/medical situation is completely different. You don't need to apply a logical or practical area of use for a piece of art to gain meaning. Sometimes, searching for such, could hinder you from experiencing the art in it's fullness, and actually learn or feel something from it. And sometimes it is just the feeling a particular piece of art gives you, that is the true meaning of experience.

    Some of you guys are being ignorant. I'm 16 and I'm already starting to understand art's beauty.. This video's point is pretty weak but analyzing art is a general skill, and it's a unique and interesting way of expressing yourself and influencing others in ways you couldn't imagine. And that's pretty significant.

    This is a terrible explanation with a multitude of red-herring ramblings that conflate the ideal.
    Here is the summary:
    Viewing art trains critical thinking and analysis. It trains us to take notice of what is present and absent in a scene and form conclusions off of that. These analysis skills help us work with others to form a complete picture, or convey our ideas to others through focusing on crucial points.
    These skills and their effects are pertinent to every day life no matter who you are (the focusing on specific career fields is ridiculous.)

    The theory is that art can HELP you to get better at analyzing stuff. You can use it to train your analyzing skills, but it doesn't say it's the only way! Of course one can get really good at analyzing stuff without the help of art, but it's one more way to train your analyzing skills.

    “Art mirrors the soul, from which tactics arise. One can see in artwork the strengths and weaknesses of those who created it. In fact, if one has a sufficient variety of art to study, one can extend and extrapolate to the strengths, weaknesses, and tactics of entire cultures.”

    Art is like seasoning. We could eat bland food, but seasoning makes us enjoy it the food more. Art is enjoyable for many to make and to consume (look at/ experience). Music is very similar in this regard, although more popular, especially to the younger generations.

    Some people look at something, see it for what it is, and move on. Which is fine. Some people look at something, and see all the details. The hidden meanings that may or may not be there. They see the irony or story behind what ever it is. The little specs of things hidden in the shadows others might miss/not care for. Which is fine also. Those who appreciate art tend to be the latter. My point being, idk if art helps but it definitely makes sense those who care for it would be good analyzers.

    I don't know I was born this way, but I think people can be taught to draw. Ansel Adams would see the light and how it reflected off objects to create the images. That's how we have color and images. He was also technically good at using the camera to take a picture of what he was seeing through his eyes. There is a kind of science behind that as well. Letters that make words were pictures first.

    Art does not train us to analyze. It is because we analyze that we are able to ask and examine things carefully. A detective does not necessarily have training in art, nor does a doctor, or any other scientific discipline for this matter.

    Ornamental candlesticks generally don't have candles in them. Plus using candles for light over a fireplace seems a little redundant. At any rate, the argument here works more for Highlights books than traditional art.

      Well, as an artist myself, I totally understand what they mean in this video. Although it is very significant for people to concentrate on studying in there own field rather than on art, it is practical to gather knowledge wherever you can, simultaneously. I find that, really observing situations and things period -- like art for a practice -- can help you better your skill in a lot of areas! And there are indeed plenty more aspects to the importance of art. :)

    Perhaps the train is a symbol of the industrial revolution, and how that over time, newer technologies have rendered such a romantic technology redundant. Belittled these days to merely keeping the living room warm. The train in the fireplace represents the spirit of burning wood and charcoal when it was once used to power the world.

    The highly trained eyesight of both predators and prey substantiate her position.
    I recently saw a TV show, a cheetah was hunting gazelles. The parents took running. The cheetah was only just a couple yards away from their new born fawn. The fawn immobilized itself to prevent detection. The cheetah should have found it, but failed. Yet, all the while it was just a few yards away from a delicious meal. The Eagle can spot a field mouse in thick grass from a thousand feet in the air. If the mouse so much as twitch a whisker, so long field mouse. With eyes on the side of their heads, rodents wide field of view can spot the smallest motion from nearly any direction. Finally, Muhammad Ali, world famous boxer, had some of the quickest most accurate eyesight. As he danced around his opponent, he could immediately see the other mans intention, and react to it before the other guy could tag him. I could offer many more instances, but these 3 are enough. I totally believe you can train to see faster, accurately, deeply if you choose to. And if you choose not, that's okay too.

    I study whales by matching the unique markings of recently photographed individuals to older photographs of whales, to see if, where, when, and under what circumstances that whale has been seen before. This takes good observational skills and is very much like studying a painting. Pareidolia even insures you will see some interesting "art" in the markings of a whale.

    Also, why are you quoting a physicist? Quote a philosopher like David Hume. He actually studied art and what it means to know it.

    This isn't quite new; fictional detectives have had a penchant for art and have brought the same critical analysis in finding eccentricities and anomalies in a painting or work of art to a crime scene or case. This TED-Ed is specifically based on a program that has educated police, FBI, CIA, the military, Scotland Yard, Hospitals and their medical staff in this area, to attain or better adapt and apply this cross-professional skill.

    This video is going to drive me up the wall, it feels like this person just didn't get why people like surrealist art and had to make a whole convoluted excuse just to feel clever. 'There's a prevailing attitude that art doesn't matter in the real world, but that doesn't account for the executible skills it might give you!' is such a terrible way to look at both art and to divide up your own existence into the 'real' world that is about working jobs and the 'fake' (?) world that is your personal experience of being human apparently. As many people have mentioned already, you can do the things described in the video with any number of visuals, it doesn't have to be art, but that doesnt make art any less applicable to every single person in the 'real' world because experiencing things and wanting to explain or explore those experiences is an unavoidable aspect of existing in the first place. Just a damningly depressing examination of how much our societies wish to quantify what being alive should mean.
