Watching a Classic Documentary in the Philosophy/Sociology of Modern Art: John Berger’s “Ways of Seeing”
1) Watch John Berger’s “Ways of Seeing:” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pDE4VX_9Kk&ab_channel=tw19751
Take profuse notes on what Berger has to say about the nature of aesthetic experience, pleasure and beauty, the situation of modern art, and the notion of interpretation—you will integrate some of these notes into your second post in DB #2 (see next module). It is perfectly fine that you submit your notes as a collection of notes, but the idea or thesis reflected but you must manage to clearly capture the idea or thesis expressed in each note.
Minimum length: 10 notes (at least 3 lines per note).
