Stella, I said I’d post so here goes; things I saw on my walk today.
Psychology and Art
March 12, 2009 at 3:04 pm (Art History, rambling)
First off, a wikipedia link, on psychology and art, which gives a rough overview of the topic; which is: that crossroads where art and psych meet; something I’m somewhat interested in.
Artwork, as a creative output of the mind, can be viewed from the psychological perspective as another form of symbolic communication with the world; indeed, in the arts, often times art is viewed as a form of communication and commentary between the artist and the world.
–and I wish I hadn’t missed the chance to enter this competition.
Added a ton of psych/art/bio books to my amazon wish list about not only what we see but also how we see it and our symbolic makeup.
Symbols are fluid things and they change with time and culture; as we age and as our society does, symbols change. Some go in style, some fall out of style, and part of making effective art -or design- work includes knowing what you’re saying with those symbols and how they are likely to be read by the public.
