When I judge art, I take my painting and put it next to a God made object like a tree or flower. If it clashes, it is not art.
Paul Cezanne
My first name is spelled J-E-S-S-I-A. I joke lately that my mother gave me that name so that I could learn to be assertive. You see, anytime I go to the store or the doctor, or just about anywhere I have to reiterate that my name is not JESSICA. I used to assume that people just thought that I misspelled my name, until recently, when I learned that our brains automatically complete information. People just automatically placed the “C” in my name because their brain was completing the image for them.
Just for fun: This free web app allows you to sketch pictures over backgrounds of clouds. This is your brain using its very own “auto-complete.” Appropriate for our Art Clouds Blog.
Just the other day I was wondering if there was some sort of mathematical correlation between tree-branches, roots, brain neurons, and lightning strikes. Lo and behold I discovered that the similarity in design between these things is more than just visually related.
