The Art of Perception | Shahina Jaffer | TEDxGoodenoughCollege

Описание: Shahina is passionate about the arts and is an avid artist. Degas’ idea that art is “not what you see, but what you make others see” really resonates with her. She believes that art should be an interactive experience, where the viewer goes on a journey to see form and details based on their own perception and sparking their own individual imagination.

The Art of Perception is an interactive talk that explores how perception shapes not only what we see but also how we observe, using art as a stimulus. “The object of art is not to reproduce reality, but to create a reality of the same intensity.” - Alberto Giacometti.

This talk was presented on 1st June 2019 at TEDxGoodenoughCollege - eQuality.
