Perception: Difference between revisions

The Beholders share regards the perception of a piece of art. Sensory input such as the colours, visual patterns, shapes or scenery of the art has a considerable impact on its perception. Prior expectations can change the conscious seeing of the artpiece and therefore edit the perception. The importance of context is in this scope is worth the mention. As information about the life of the artist and knowing the artists other work can heavily change the interpretation of the artwork . The artists anticipated context and interpretation of his work is often different to the observers. A lack of context can therefore completely change the effect and perception of art.

Direct realism is a theory of perception and the counter to indirect realism. Stating that immediate objects exist mind-independently. These objects have specific properties (e.g. colour, size) which are perceived. Therefore physical ojects exist and their properties are perceived directly.

Indirect realism states, that though physical objects are mind-indipendent and perceived, it is being perceived . Therefore physical objects exist and the objects physical properties generate perceptions in the mind.
