Zed A. Shaw, Painter

I think there is a term I'm forgetting, but it's essentially an emotional, reactionary, instinctual sort of activity. Which means it's still in the brain, but the subconscious part part that deals with intuition and such things. Other people would describe this as spiritual.

That's intellectual. It's a fallacy to believe that instinctual stimulus response is not intellectual simply because it doesn't use fully articulate words. In fact, a massive amount of your brain's processing is done entirely w/o being articulated into words.

Anyone who thinks art is neither intellectual or physical knows nothing about art. It is both, and more. Art uses everything: intellectual, physical, emotional. Conscious and unconscious. Spiritual, but I hate that people relate that word to religion, as in churches and dogma.

It involves the artist's "selfness", for lack of a better word; that which makes a person unique.
