n the Reading - Intro Living with Art:
"Living with art, Brancusi's photographs show us, [Brancusi] is making art live by letting it engage your attention, your imagination, your intelligence. Few of us, of course, can live with art the way Brancusi did. Yet we can choose to seek out encounters with art, to make it matter for thought and enjoyment, and to let it live in our imagination."

1 - From your experience with "living with art" in your environment, how do yourespond to your encounters with art? 

"One reason for differences in perception is the immense amount of detail available for our attention at any given moment... Our mood influences what we notice and how we interpret it, as does the whole of our prior experience - the culture we grew up in, relationships we have had, places we have seen, knowledge we have accumulated."

2 - So how do your experiences and perceptions differ from that of others whenyou view objects, images and art? - Why?
