Q1. why do images, pictures, art have a powerful impact on us?
Q2. why is the modern world dominated by unrealistic images of the body?
- mostly to individual thinking and feeling
- no one actually looks like this, thats why it looks more interesting
- they exaggerate parts that they think is important and ignore parts that are less important and common, eg. woman - breast, butt and etc
while, the face features are no much different from a man ones (key features that register in a brain)
- by exaggerating it, it struck people's attention and giving people space to think of why is it so
- human beings don't like the realistic world (like imaginary world)
- there are still unrealistic images in a realistic images, because they are too perfect in a way that is different from the realistic world
- human beings are not perfect, so they create the perfect or unrealistic images through what they think and desire of a human body should be like
- egyptians show in its clearest angle, eg. finger in the same size, eye facing to the side, everything in order using grid
- they preserve it because of the culture and their hard way of living
- everyone desire to have a perfect body of an athlete
- some may thought it only exist in the earlier human
- realistic images can be seen almost everywhere, so its boring, thats why people exaggerate and distort to make it more interesting and more human than a human
