Solution

To determine which claim is not made by John Berger in the Week 10 video "Ways of Seeing" (1972), let's analyze each statement:

  1. The process of seeing paintings is less spontaneous and natural than we tend to believe.
  2. A large part of seeing depends on habit and convention.
  3. Perspective makes the eye the centre of the visible world.
  4. The process of seeing a painting is spontaneous and natural.

John Berger argues that the process of seeing paintings is influenced by various factors such as cultural conventions and historical context, which means it is not entirely spontaneous and natural. Therefore, the first claim aligns with his views.

He also discusses how seeing is shaped by habit and convention, supporting the second claim.

Berger explains the concept of perspective in art, which places the viewer's eye at the center of the visible world, thus supporting the third claim.

However, the fourth claim contradicts Berger's argument that seeing is influenced by external factors and is not purely spontaneous and natural.

Therefore, the claim that is not made by John Berger is:

The process of seeing a painting is spontaneous and natural.
