The Psychology Of Art Dating

He is extremely angry which can be seen from the way he leans forward threateningly. His wife shows more restraint and sits back, straight backed against her chair and stares at her husband sulkily. The wife’s stoic demeanour and with her arms defiantly crossed at the chest suggest an empowerment which the man is uncomfortable with. Here we see two contrasting halves to the painting. On the left we see anger, discord and noise in the man and the child at his feet. On the opposite side we see calmness with the quiet dog and control with the restrained woman.

Since the beginning of time, artists have labored extensively to find innovative ways to convey sentiment, passion, and feeling. Telling stories and trying to unlock the minds of people through different avenues of artistic labors. Art touches and affects people in unique ways; it can have special or unusual meaning on the person depending on how one views it. Artists’ rendering of their art is interpreted in numerous ways by others who view it unless it is explained by the artist on its meaning giving a clear example of what they are portraying. Two people looking at the same painting, sculpture, portrait, or photo may come to different views on the arts meaning even though they are looking at the

At the introduction of this paper I informed you that I would pick a new artist, choose one of their paintings, discuss how it made me feel, and what part of the brain these topics came from. I used my eyes, my brain,s visual cortex located in the occipital lobe, and the right hemisphere to feel the emotion of sorrow. This paper was a little trying for me as I do not really connect with art, but it was very informative in a self-teaching

Photographer Elliot Erwitt once stated, “To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.” This quote has deeply guided me in my analysis of what I call a cycle of art creation. When one pays close attention to the artwork of a particular artist, one is able to distinguish certain details that prove it is the artist's work. To me, it is significant to be able to establish an artist as their own rather than just another person following the trend. Each artist, whether they notice it or not, has a series of repercussions in their art; there are details that continue to reappear in

4th step: Interpret- this paragraph is your interpretation of what the artwork means or is about. Does it tell a story? Or maybe it just makes you feel certain ways. Write down what you think it means. Be sure to use evidence from the painting to say WHY and back up your

When it comes to emotional provocation and mental stimulation, art has been luring in the masses for as long as humans have been around. What started as stick figures carved into cave walls evolved into many artistic eras defined by different artistic styles, motives, and mediums. Enthusiasts collect these works and celebrate their ability to captivate the person and speak to the soul. Two particularly notable periods in art history are those of Surrealist and Contemporary styles. Salvador Dali was, for a time, a member of the Surrealist movement, which centered around providing wildly eccentric and bizarre glimpses into the subconscious and making the public push beyond their conscious mind. Damien Hirst continues to be a massive influence

Charles Frankel said, “Anxiety is the essential condition of intellectual and artistic creation and everything that is finest in human history”. There is some evidence to support this idea that anxiety and other mood disorders are essential to many forms of art. In this article I will examine how mood disorders influence art, as well as give multiple examples of how mood disorders are portrayed in the following art forms: paintings, literature, and music.

I find it interesting that in the painting there is a young girl with her hand covering her face, it seems she is sad about the bird dying. It appears that her father’s hand is around her, and he is explaining something to her. There is an even younger girl who must be the other girl’s sister. She looks worried and has an arm around her sister. The painting is suspicious and a lot of the people in the painting seem frightened. The older man in the middle looks really scary. Everyone seems engaged in conversation except the man in the middle who is looking at the viewer. The people in the painting are dressed rather nicely and seem well-to-do. It is night time in the photo because there are candles and a moon out the window. I wonder why this

John Dewey is an American philosopher considered to be one of the founders of functional psychology. He has also been very influential in education and social reform. In his article “Art as Experience” he argues that when we think of art, we tend to think of art as objects or things, however he assures we are wrong. Dewey’s theory is that a real work of art is the experience of making the work of art. By emphasizing that we should focus more on the experience of art rather than the work of art itself, we are encouraged to see art through a different lens.

The painting instantly draws you in and your eyes dart around the work of art, having trouble focusing on simply one thing at once. This isn't a bad thing as the more you look the painting over, the more things you will notice. At first, you might not notice it, but in the background there appears to be a body of water, possibly an ocean. This is important as this is what was inspired by Paul Cézanne’s, The Large Bathers, at least as far as I can tell. There are of course other parts that are inspired such as the way the trees are painted and such, but overall, the painting is vastly different and shows the beginning of a whole new art

“Every emotion must be dealt with artistically, if it is to succeed in being serviceable in a sure, lasting and appropriate way. “(Novalis, Fragmentserie 1798) If symbolisation in human expression is closely related in human development to internalized images in one’s self, then imagery in dreams and in Art, must be composed of various internalized images. Fascinated by Freud’s ‘Dream-work’ study; the study that dreams serve as valuable clues to how the unconscious mind operates, I then compared it to similar assumptions of artwork. And that artwork can represent the repressed or internalized ideas of the subconscious. The lecture given by Anna Madison on Dreams and Nightmares in art sparked my interest on this topic, leading me to build my own analysis of an artist depicting the subject of

Only he would truly know what the meaning of this painting is, so all that people can do is guess at the meaning and hope they are on the

Analyze: Due to the colors and the value added to the painting, the emphasis of the painting is the woman. The strong black background contrasts her colorful clothing and fair skin creating a great emphasis on her presence within the painting. Additionally, the value and texture that is added to her face and clothing creates a realistic illusion. Her clothes contain folds and wrinkles, while her face contains shading that allow the viewer to see its rounded shape, as the light seems to strike from the upper left corner of the image.

As psychoanalytic school, Freud had much to say about the creative process and the interpretation of creations. For Freud the unconscious mental processes operative in the creation of works of art including symbolization. One important consequence of Freud’s approach to arts has been to view it as the symbolic expression of the neurotic and conflicted inner world of the artist. In addition, Freud seemed to believe that due
