”The consumption” of art, or Neuroculture, has undeniable and irreplaceable benefits. Recent neuroimaging studies have identified several brain regions whose activation correlates with only a variety of aesthetic experiences—namely locations in the anterior medial prefrontal cortex (aMPFC) (Blood and Zatorre, 2001; Cela-Conde et al., 2004; Kawabata and Zeki, 2004; Vartanian and Goel, 2004; Jacobsen et al., 2006; Di Dio and Gallese, 2009; Kirk et al., 2009; Ishizu and Zeki, 2011; Lacey et al., 2011; Salimpoor et al., 2011). Therefore, the occurrence of the effects aesthetic consumption involves activation of specific areas, so it is imperative that the initiation begin at an early age, because involved areas not to clogged. These data were the basis for developing the first time children's program EducARTE®. For information and registration, click on EducARTE®.

" Portrait of a Man with a Blue Chaperon "
24-11-2016Sibiu- Brukenthal Museum
The most famous attraction in Sibiu is, certainly, Brukenthal Palace. Any itinerary must include this objective. To convince you, we shall relate to only second floor painting gallery: Flemish and Dutch school. Not to fall in, the eternal and boring, exhaustive trap, we focus on only two of the paintings hosted by theose galleries. Jan van Eyck- " Portrait of a Man with a Blue Chaperon " and Bruegel I, The Elder -" The Massacre of the Innocents ", indisputable masterpieces of humanity.
Jan van Eyck is representative of the Early Netherland school, as defined, even by this painting, the elements of portretistic style for all generations: positioning on three-quarters, directing light, flat background, as general rules, the co-ordinates of aesthetic style in portretistic paintings. These rules are followed up even today, by professional photographers or in cinematography of art. Peter Brueguel the Elder, is the one who opened the painting subjects towards landscape themes, seasons, habits of people's lives, everything from around and alive. He is sometimes referred to as the "Peasant Bruegel". Although picture theme, it is biblical, the carrying out of it is translated to the painter to his known co-ordinates, places and contemporary times. This was, in fact, teaching transmitted by painter to his generation, and not only to them, familiar being, the inclination toward its cautionary messages. This kind of attitude is coming from the period in which, as apprentice, executed engravings in a printing shop, for illustration books with educational messages.
