1.Describe the term paleoanthropsychobiological. Who coined this term?

For this question I think author Dissanayake use her art view to create this word. From the article we can see ” My palaeoanthropsychobiological viewis that in order to include human history, human cultures, and human psychology.” (Page 15) In addition, art reflects human society and human emotional needs, may cause certain effects on human behavior phenomenon. I think the author use this word want to represent her heart.

2.What does Dissanayake mean by the phrase “making special”? How does it relate to art and to human survival?

Making special is very personal. It is represent truth and seriously attitude. Making special can let people feel different. Art is not have rule. The people have different ways to show their own art.  Like country, culture, language and so forth. Sometime people have their own emotions. So the show results are very different. People live in the different environment. So we have different angel. The art project can represent our feeling, life and value.

3.Dissanayake identifies many different theories/movement/periods of art throughout western european history. Name three different theories of art that Dissanayake mentions in her essay. Identify the time period when each theory developed and was prominent. Provide a brief description of the philosophies and ideas that define each theory/movement/period of art. Support your answer with quotes from the reading.

I think the the three periods are in the 14th century( Renaissance), 18th century (Modernism), and 20th century (postmodernism.In the first part we called “God-centered” In the modern society the people tend to more freedom. They don’t care about tradition. Some time they innovate.  Right now ” people have large range to understand art” Art is lead to different field.  Some you will feel abstract. In this article said ” There is a special frame of mind for approaching works of art- a disinterested attitude that is separate from one’s own personal interest in the object, its utility or its social or religious ramifacations”  So art is come from your deeper heart. Some time they are clear sometime they are abstract.
