During last weeks lecture we had multiple conversations about various ideas of what is reality is. This lecture was easy for me to understand probably because I took a philosophy class during summer making it so that I could see where Mr. Zucman's thought process was heading at. In my philosophy class we had numerous debates about what is real and how we know something is real, because who knows this may all be a dream. How do we know that something is there? Is it because we can see it or even taste it? Well then that would mean that we're just using our senses to perceive what reality is. Our senses can sometimes deceive us, meaning that judging what is real by using our senses can be incorrect. The one thing that will not deceive us is our mind, and because of that we know what reality is through the usuage of our minds.
Mr.Zucman made a similar analogy to this during his lecture. He asked one of our students what was more meaning full something that is true or truth. He told us that something that we know about (truth) like one of the desks in our classroom means a 100 times less than something that is true to us (mind), such as the student's ex. The feelings the student had for her ex was far greater than what she feels about a desk.
These thoughts made me think about what art truely is. Ofcourse we all know that a painting is there (truth) like the desk in our classroom but the imagination we all create for ourselves of what a painting means is what truely exists(mind).
