Subject Psychology of Art is conceived as an integral part of quality base from which every student could draw on and which will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the quality and success. The course will, among other things focus on clarifying the concepts creator-work-respondent, on the historical and contemporary methodologies and on using psychology to detect problems of internal development and its external perception. It is essential that future artists will understand how  areas of perception function. Thanks to the knowledge of self, students can also predict better reflection of the arts as a means of experiences communication  with aesthetic intentions. To understand art as an object of psychological knowledge at the level of artistic / aesthetic / social - and his conception / implementation / responsion / reflection ... The purpose of this course is to complete the practical training to develop skills combine knowledge, understanding the place of art in the psychic life of a human - and of society - and its essential role in the maintenance and promotion of quality of life.

They should be able - more than their colleagues - to understand the context of art and personal condition and should be able to reflect on the possible influence of a particular artistic production on the psyche of participants
