Since it is around dinner time, I would wonder what they
like to eat? I think their night would be pleasant with some debate about art
and the brain. They both see art as a fascinating image that brings out our
creativity and the sense of seeing art in another form. Charney believes that
we should appreciate art since it “requires no advanced degrees… to understand
and enjoy”. Taylor could agree and add that our creativity comes from the right
brain; but for someone who uses their left brain more, they can not appreciate
abstract art as much because they are not aware of using their right brain in
this way. Bottoms up thinking is similar to the Left Brain thinking because
they are both knowledgeable and analytical. Bottoms up is instinctual and “program
thinking,” similar to the left brain which uses cause and effect, and order.
Saying this, the right brain and top down thinking could be similar. Top down
has cultural and symbolic attributes which compliment the images and energy in
the right brain. But there could be some agreement between the two thinkers
when it comes to the meaning a priori. A priori is part of the top down
thinking, but it could be debatable with the left brain. Left brain people take
for granted (a priori) abstract art because they find it intimidating: not
using their right brain to look at the images. We take abstract art for granted
because the meaning behind it is not clear. It allows the viewer to use their
imagination to find their own meaning to the painting, and I believe both
Charney and Taylor would agree to that.
