- Summary:
- This work is an examination of what psychologists have discovered about how art works-what it does to us, how we experience art, how we react to it emotionally, how we judge it, and what we learn from it. The questions investigate include the following: What makes us call something art? Do we experience "real" emotions from the arts? Do aesthetic judgments have any objective truth value? Does learning to play music raise a child's IQ? Is modern art something my kid could do? Is achieving greatness in an art form just a matter of hard work?
