Today, Dr. Tawanah Yahya Marjan delivered a scientific seminar entitled “An Artistic Journey Through Schools of Psychology,” shedding light on the history of the emergence of psychology as a scientific discipline and its inseparable relationship with the world of visual arts.
The seminar provided a detailed discussion of the major turning points that shaped the independent identity of psychology as a science. It highlighted how paintings and artistic dimensions can serve as tools for analyzing complex psychological concepts and the fundamental theories of this field, offering the audience a new perspective for understanding human behavior.
The seminar also focused on the intellectual relationship between artworks and the human subconscious, explaining how artistic paintings function as mirrors of the inner self. It discussed how experimentation and observation within the artistic world have contributed to deeper understandings of the human mind and psyche, making art a language for expressing the hidden dimensions that science seeks to uncover.
The seminar emphasized that creative approaches at the intersection of art and psychology have opened scientific opportunities for deeper interpretations of artistic works. This intellectual journey through different psychological schools demonstrated that visual art is not merely about beauty, but carries profound cognitive and psychological dimensions behind every artistic creation.
