First, we will explore the basic psychological processes and their role in artistic activities. We will then focus on three main areas: 1. psychoanalysis, which viewed artistic creation as closely linked to psychological development and personality, 2. a wide range of findings from empirical research (particularly in the areas of perception, emotions, creativity, and personality), where we will also focus on newer research methods, 3. the clinical fieldthe use of artistic expression in diagnosis and therapy.
Students will gain an overview of the mental phenomena accompanying art creativity and reception; they will familiarize themselves with the methods of knowledge acquisition of psychological background of art and with the role of art for individual psychology. Students will understand the historical changes within the interest in psychological phenomena of art and also the up-to-date topics and approaches. |
