Aesthetics phiolosphy and creativity

In the videos, I learned about the history of the philosophy of aesthetics and about the relationship between neuroscience and aesthetics.
In the Aesthetics: the Philosophy of Arts video, I really enjoyed Schopenhaur's theory. His importance of music and it's means of conveying emotion through sound spoke to me. I have a deep connection with the music I enjoy and it is a daily influence of my life. I also appreciated that he made the point that everyone can have aesthetic experiences. Without aesthetics, one has not experienced a life and therefor has not lived. Schopenhaur was a 19th century philosopher.
In the CARTA video, Chageux was very difficult to understand. His work was informational but I had a difficult time following because it was very dry and the subtitles didn't always translate correctly. However, the point that viewing art gives us access to a global workspace was interesting. It reminded me of why we get inspiration form others works of art. The more we view are, the more we are able to create something that better communicates our perceptions through the language of art. Art is a language and the more we view the more "vocabulary" we gain.  
Ramachandran's ideas were easier to follow. He was also comical in his speech which made the video easy to pay attention to. I like when Ramachandran said that creativity and an aesthetic process is a concept that is cross species. He used the example of the birds in the forest and how they arrange their "bachelor pad." I think that our sense of creativity, among all creatures, is part of what connects us.
The videos and text elaborated aesthetics a lot in relation to the textbook. At some points the videos where very dry, but the different information built on one another so it made it easier to grasp.
