The Role of Fine Art and Art Therapy in Human Psychology

Abstract

Visual arts are one of the important tools for developing creativity and establishing inner innovative powers, which, if properly strengthened, can solve many human mental problems. Psychology studies human behavior such as fear, depression, and mental and psychological disorders. However, the visual arts work to give meaning and value to concepts that people touch and feel. Therefore, visual arts can be seen as an effective means of increasing the self-esteem of children and adolescents or as a means of treating psychological problems. Visual arts mediate communication between psychologies, perception, and meaning, which it gives to everyday events and events. Such giving of meaning in the visual arts is observed through the creation of works of art, and in psychology it can be unconsciously manifested in the individual's personality. Thus, the task of art and psychology is mainly to provide an objective explanation for human societies, to achieve growth and perfection, that is, to educate and refine their spirit about nature and human creation as well as the man himself.
