My final Idea is to represent all the 5 senses in another way, either through video animation photography or installation.
For the taste sense my idea is to take videos of people eating horrible and disgusting things. This shows that the taste buds can be your friend or your foe.
The smell tense i am going to use "smell gels". Smell gells are gel pens where the ink smells inside the pen, so once you write with for example a red pen then they could smell maybe strawberries or raspberries. My idea is to squeeze all the ink from the pen cartridges and put them into viles or test tubes where the audience can open and sniff the different tubes and try and guess the smells.
Sight tense, for the sight tense i am going to use a video and after effects to mask a pair of glasses onto the screen and all of the image inside the glasses are blurred and the video outside the glasses is still in focus, reversing the ability of the glasses.
For hearing i am going to have a set of headphones with a songs sound wave passing through the headphones and have the sound waves move through headphones.
i am still a little unsure with the touch sense, whether to do another installation like the smell sense or to do a photograph of someone cowering away from something that they are reaching our for.
Taste or gustation is one of the two main "chemical" senses. There are at least four types of tastes that "buds" (receptors) on the tongue detect, and hence there are anatomists who argue that these constitute five or more different senses, given that each receptor conveys information to a slightly different region of the brain . The inability to taste is called ageusia.
The four well-known receptors detect sweet, salt, sour, and bitter, although the receptors for sweet and bitter have not been conclusively identified. A fifth receptor, for a sensation called umami, was first theorised in 1908 and its existence confirmed in 2000. The umami receptor detects the amino acid glutamate, a flavour commonly found in meat and in artificial flavourings such as monosodium glutamate.
Hearing or audition is the sense of sound perception. Since sound is vibrations propagating through a medium such as air, the detection of these vibrations, that is the sense of the hearing, is a mechanical sense because these vibrations are mechanically conducted from the eardrum through a series of tiny bones to hair-like fibers in the inner ear which detect mechanical motion of the fibers within a range of about 20 to 20,000 hertz,with substantial variation between individuals. Hearing at high frequencies declines with age. Sound can also be detected as vibrations conducted through the body by tactition. Lower frequencies than that can be heard are detected this way. The inability to hear is called deafness.
Touch, also called tactition or mechanoreception, is a perception resulting from activation of neural receptors, generally in the skin including hair follicles, but also in the tongue, throat, and mucosa. A variety of pressure receptors respond to variations in pressure (firm, brushing, sustained, etc). The touch sense of itching caused by insect bites or allergies involves special itch-specific neurons in the skin and spinal cord. The loss or impairment of the ability to feel anything touched is called tactile anesthesia. Paresthesia is a sensation of tingling, pricking, or numbness of the skin that may result from nerve damage and may be permanent or temporary.
Smell or olfaction is the other "chemical" sense. Unlike taste, there are hundreds of olfactory receptors, each binding to a particular molecular feature. Odor molecules possess a variety of features and thus excite specific receptors more or less strongly. This combination of excitatory signals from different receptors makes up what we perceive as the molecule's smell. In the brain, olfaction is processed by the olfactory system. Olfactory receptor neurons in the nose differ from most other neurons in that they die and regenerate on a regular basis. The inability to smell is called anosmia. Some neurons in the nose are specialized to detect pheromones.
Sight or vision is the ability of the brain and eye to detect electromagnetic waves within the visible range (light) which is why people see interpreting the image as "sight." There is disagreement as to whether this constitutes one, two or three senses. Neuroanatomists generally regard it as two senses, given that different receptors are responsible for the perception of colour (the frequency of photons of light) and brightness (amplitude/intensity - number of photons of light). Some argue[citation needed] that stereopsis, the perception of depth, also constitutes a sense, but it is generally regarded as a cognitive (that is, post-sensory) function of brain to interpret sensory input and to derive new information. The inability to see is called blindness.
in lass today we loked at narrative in art. we learned about the most famous piece of artistic narrative, the bayeux tapestry. the tapestry is actually an embroided cloth which is around half a metre tall and stretch 70 metres in length. it is said to show the events leading up to a norman conquest into england in 1066. There are also many different types of narrative in art.
- Simultaneous Narrative
- Monoscenic Narrative
- Continuous Narrative
- Synoptic Narrative
- Panoptic Narrative
- Progressive Narrative
- Sequential Narrative
we were also shown the "five senses" painted by Antoon Claeissens. the painting shows 5 females holding an object and with an animal nearby. the animals are symbolic to each of the senses as are the objects they hold.
