Read the excerpt from Last Lecture by Randy Pausch.

And after I had become somewhat of an authority on virtual reality, but not like a really important one, so I was at the level of people the World Book would badger. They called me up and I wrote an article, and this is Caitlin Kelleher [shows slide of Caitlin wearing virtual reality headset manipulating a 3D world], and there’s an article if you go to your local library where they still have copies of the World Book. Look under V for Virtual Reality, and there it is. And all I have to say is that having been selected to be an author in the World Book Encyclopedia, I now believe that Wikipedia is a perfectly fine source for your information because I know what the quality control is for real encyclopedias. They let me in.

Which statement best describes Pausch's purpose?

He wants his audience to understand that being an authority on a subject is not as rewarding as they may think.
He wants his audience to see how he accomplished one of his childhood goals through an entertaining story.
He wants his audience to understand how to use a virtual reality headset and that he is an authority on the subject.
He wants his audience to be impressed that his article is in World Book, but understand that he wishes it had appeared online.

Why do you think we didn't accept abstraction as art for so long?

Answers

I believe we didn’t accept abstract as art for so long because it was different. When things are different we often (as humans) avoid it or think less of it. In this case it’s art. People often think there is a handbook to creating art. But there isn’t which is why abstract art was not accepted. You had to develop a story for it instead of it developing a story for you.

Hope this helped!!

2) How are emotions raised by a work of art different from typical human emotions? (For example, is a “sad” painting different from another experience of sadness, and If so, how?)

Answers

Answer:

in 2 you have to make emotoinal face just like happy,sad,angry,crying etc then how did they feel writ down..

Explanation:

Answer:

2. Rather the emotional tone of artworks leads to congruent emotion changes on a subjective and bodily level in a perceiver. Higher compared to lower empathetic persons (that is the ability to pick up and understand emotions of others) report and experience stronger emotions on a subjective and bodily level.

1. The power of art can fade over time by it being in someplace to long. Or it can be not in the modern category.
