1.) The term paleoanthropsychobiological is a way to view humans history through psychological and biological manners. This term was coined by Ellen Dissanayake.

2.) When Dissanayake says, “making special” she was referring to the way humans developed mentally, and physically by being able to recognize things that were also special. This relates to the fact that humans were able to notice and make changes to help them live because of the fact that they were special and could tell that they were.

3.) The greek era was mentioned, and during this time the term art was not used. “Plato did not discuss ‘art’, but rather beauty, poetry, and imagemaking” (pg 16). During this time they were discussing this kinds of ideas and why they were important, but not so much categorized them and given them the title of art.

Modernism was another one talked about, and was during the 18th century. Modernism focused on aesthetics as well as a central beauty that was found in all of the arts. “… works of art could be viewed universal”(pg 4). During this time people were starting to notice all types of arts, but this was only done by those who had the time to do so.

Lastly I will bring up post-modernism. Dissanayake saw this period of art and interpretation meaning that she and other could all be seeing the art in different ways. This type of art was around in the 20th century, and really caused people to think about what art was and is becoming. This art would, “calls into question two centuries of assumptions about the elite and special nature of art” (pg 19). This would start to change the way that we look at art, and start to bring in new ideals about what art really is.
