Do Artists See Differently?

for-us
(0)
In this new YouTube video, I paint a pile of firewood in watercolor and gouache. 


As I progress, I describe the mental models of visual perception that I use to help me focus on what's important at each stage. 


This leads to the question about whether artists really see the world differently or whether we're trained to focus our attention in selective ways. 

Along the way, I introduce the current scientific idea that visual perception is being driven at least as much by top-down processes as bottom-up processes.

I refer to the work of two cognitive scientists in this area: Donald Hoffman: TED Talk "Do We Really See Reality as it Is?"  and Robin Carhart-Harris (on Sean Carroll's Mindscape podcast--start at 33:00)
