I have to share Jason Silva's YouTube video "The Paradoxical Nature of Art", because it encapsulates some very important aspects of what makes art so attractive to us as viewers. Primarily this video touches on the concept mentioned in class that "Art is a Lie that Makes us Realize the Truth". I would go further than this by saying that it simply expands our perspective by dragging us into the mind of the artist, revealing a new world and perspective that we perhaps wouldn't have considered otherwise. If you enjoy the video, you might want to visit Jason Silva's YouTube channel called "Shots of Awe". Enjoy.

Shirah, thanks for sharing. This is great. FYI, you can actually embed youtube videos directly into your blog post. Insert video as opposed to pasting the text.
