Art Appreciation Based on Different Educational Background Using Neuroaesthetic Instruments

Abstract

The use of art as a therapy for various neurological and mental illnesses continues to grow. Based on the literature, there are differences in studies in assessing artworks between individuals, which are influenced by insights related to many things. An instrument is needed to measure the ability to assess each work of art based on a certain population, before providing art interventions for therapy. We compiled an instrument consisting of 383 images. As a first step in validation, we conducted tests on 137 medical students and 137 art and design faculty students. There was an increase in mood at the end of the test.
