I think you foot print example can by simplified: catching a ball, we see the ball and with practice, we get better at catching the ball, but we don't feel ourselves making calculations to its position. But is that true? Or is the calculation we make simply a subconscious we can't explain. We have the ability to be aware of only a few thoughts per second, yet our brain performs a exaFLOP (billion * billion) floating-point operations per second. This subconscious operation is what you call "feel".
TruthSeeker Thank you for your comment! Whatever unconscious calculation goes on when we see a footprint or catch a ball should be differentiated from the conscious procedure that goes into solving an equation. The footprint example is an experience that involves all of the same attention and consideration that goes into viewing a painting.
@@robsamartino71 I see no difference between them, we are aware of some conscious procedure but most of the procedure is subconscious. The exact ratio may vary but in principle, it is the same. the feeling or instinct is just our attribution of a reason for a process we are not aware of.
TruthSeeker when you learn to paint representationally you have to forget what the subject you’re painting is-if you’re painting a person you’re inclined to depict the subject almost as a symbol, a preconceived idea of what a person ought to look like. A good representational painter sees the subject as a continuity of lines, shapes, colors and values. One of the most difficult things to paint is text-whenever I paint text of some kind I’m always tempted to just ‘write’ it. Each character is a specific shape, especially if the text is a specific font. In such cases you’re fighting the logical path of your brain.
@@robsamartino71 For sure, it takes a lot less work to represent a new instance with an existing archetype, which is one reason we tend to put people into boxes, rather than listening to their specific views.
