" .. how does it happen that very young children, all of whom quite naturally absorb great quantities of visual information, grow up to be visually illiterate? The answer, as far as I can make out, is that this early capability is simply beaten out of them by the educational process."
NELSON George, 'How to See' A guide to reading our manmade environment (1977)
00-01 - About This Course
"De situatie van de kunstzinnige vorming binnen het onderwijs is immers ronduit beschamend te noemen. Niet alleen wordt er nauwelijks tijd aan besteed, maar vaak bevestigen bijvoorbeeld schoolboekjes de vooroordelen over kunst en kunstenaars nog eens. Daardoor blijven te veel mensen in stereotypen over kunst en kunstenaars denken."
Morel/Overduin in 'Is DAT nou kunst?' 1982 Haagse Kunststichting voor de jeugd.

"Scientists in the 17th century were often noblemen, with time and money at their disposal. Also, quite often, they knew of each other and were sometimes in contact. They were aware of each others inventions and able to collaborate on ideas and resources."

Intellectuele toe-eigening en discursief geweld in Focquenbrochs Afrikaense Thalia (1678)Tom Laureys
"In many other letters and reports, too, the silence about the life of the slaves in the castle is so egregious that the question arises as to whether the WIC servants and other eyewitnesses witnessed the slave trade and brutal treatment of Africans so common, or so unimportant, that they didn't think to write about it. Or did other things play a role?
Was there perhaps shame? Was the desire to keep things too shocking a secret? (van Engelens 125–6)"

11-05 - The Eyes of Columbus
Tomb of Christopher Columbus"The tomb was one of the last additions to the cathedral, installed in 1899. It was designed by the sculptor Arturo Melida, and was originally installed in Havana before being moved to Seville after Spain lost control of Cuba .. Unfortunately, after all that effort, in 1877 a very suspicious box was discovered back in Santo Domingo inscribed with the words “The illustrious and excellent man, Don Colon, Admiral of the Ocean Sea."

12-10 - J'adore Dior perfume advert:
Gold is a dominant theme in all the J'adore advertising campaigns.
Since 2004 the actress and model Charlize Theron has been the official face of 'J'adore'.
Dior is renowned for its expensive price tag and affluent consumers as well as its brand values of elegance, beauty, femininity and luxury. A beautiful model in a stunning dress.
Referencing to Roland Barthes semiotic analysis theory the first impression I had towards the image was golden glamour.
There is a strong historical reference in this advert. Marie Antionette married Louis XIV - the 'Sun King'. Their Royal proceedings happened in the Hall of Mirrors. (Leah Marie Brown, 2011)
The J'adore bottle is similar to a Greek amphora.
Women purchasing the J'adore fragrance brings empowerment and luxury into their lifestyle
Oscar winning actress
The advert proved to be a success as it overtook Chanel No.5 to be the world's leading fragrance

This experiment tested the relevance of type of education to the pattern of perception and interpretation of an artwork.
