week 3

• Art is a strong reciprocal emotional bond between an infant and a primary caregiver
• Schaffer and Emerson's 1964 study on attachment aimed to identify stages of attachment and find a pattern in the development of attachment between infants and parents
• Participants in the study were 60 babies from Glasgow, and the procedure involved analyzing interactions between infants and carers
• Findings showed that babies of parents or carers who displayed 'sensitive responsiveness' were more likely to have formed an attachment
• Freud's superego is the moral component of the psyche, representing internalized societal values and standards
• Difference between art and nature:

  • Must clarify the distinction between nature and art, the natural and artistic beauty
  • Both have specific value, description, difference, and utility
  • Science is the difference between art and nature, where art is nature becoming second nature through industrial and scientific metamorphosis of its materials
• Art is not simply the physical thing but includes the 'more' beyond the concrete embodiment, where the real essence of art lies
• Art is the communication of feelings from artist to viewer through external signs, embodying emotions in a work of art to stimulate similar emotions in an audience
• Art as an expression sends a message to people, and whoever sees, feels, hears, or senses the art acquires a specific expression
• Literary arts are in the form of writing or stories with artistic and cultural value, showcasing the beauty of speech and language to convey meanings
• Visual arts are visually appealing and elicit an emotional response through talent and imagination, encompassing forms like painting, sketching, sculpture, photography, and more
• Performance arts are interdisciplinary and presented to an audience, including scripted or unscripted performances, with or without audience participation, and can take place anywhere, in any setting, and for any amount of time
