SENSORY KNOWLEDGE

The five senses; touch, sight, sound, smell and taste are used for humans to experience the world. Having knowledge and experiences of these senses is important in art as it is what will provide an audience to form a judgement and will affect the overall aesthetic of the artwork as the senses are crucial in what we feel, thus interfering with how an artwork impacts a viewer. The quote above², said by Aldous Huxley explains sensory knowledge due to it delving into the way the reliance on the five senses is crucial in the overall perception of an artwork - forming a sensory knowledge. The artwork above by Reisha Perlmutter, called ‘Receive’ similarly exemplifies sensory knowledge in art as it subdues the audience in their own senses - imagining themselves underwater.
