At first when we received the paper, I saw how much pages it was and the amount of writing it had and it had me thinking that it would be just another paper full of poems from different artists on trying to explain to people how the saw the world or understood about a topic, but after I take a look over it and read the title I saw it wasn’t.Before reading Knowledge and the Arts, I used to see arts as something that people did as a hobby or to express themselves, just as something extra that didn’t have a powerful meaning.
However after reading I saw that my idea was kinda wrong. One part that really changed how I thinked was the tree one in pg.6 because it showed me that not always you need to find what that thing means, and yes other things, like the text says: “We sum up our interaction with the tree, it comes down to this:
1-We observe and experience the tree, and
2- We ask questions about what sort of thing the tree is, and
3- We respond to the tree.
This is a good model for how we ought to interact with a work of art if we want to learn from it —in other words, if we want to discover whatever knowledge it might hold for us. To put it another way, this is how to find the value of a work of art.”pg.6
