Experience: Lunchtime Lecture on Japanese Aesthetics with Amanda Dalla Villa Adams (10/31/18)11/6/2018 Reflection:
I learned so much from Amanda Dalla Villa Adams through her lunchtime lecture on Japanese Aesthetics. To start, she mainly talked about the history of the aesthetics and how they spread. I actually already knew some of this information from lessons and readings in my global studies class this year. However, I had never learned or thought about this information while mainly focusing on the art aspects. It was very nice to kind of see the information in a new light. Next, she talked about Wabi, Sabi, Yugen, and a little on No Aware. Previously, I had very little knowledge regarding these topics. I did know a little bit from the lunchtime lecture last year, but that mainly focused on a specific artist's work and mindset. This website includes a substantial amount of information on Japanese Aesthetics, including basics on Wabi, Sabi, Yugen, and No Aware: Later, she showed us and talked about specific works of art, mainly in the VMFA's collection. These were so cool to see! Just seeing these few pieces inspired me to start looking out for similar styles, and maybe even these specific pieces, at galleries and museums. I now also want to look more into how to apply this new knowledge and information to my art and perhaps assignments in history. This lecture also led me to think about a few questions;
Below are a few examples of art implementing the ideas behind Japanese Aesthetics:
