Bit gutted i missed this mornings lesson, however this afternoon has been really helpful. Dan and i had a great discussion that has given me great direction towards this project. I've been looking at the psychology of social interaction, the ways we react in social interaction, psychology of colours and the ideals of constuctivism and functionalism. John Burger's, ways of seeing and Art and Illusion, GOMBRICH E.H are proving to be really helpful texts towards this subject, Dan also recommended Perception of the mind, ED DE BONO. The most helpful information was learning about the RORSCHACH TEST. The Rorschach inkblot test is a method of
psychological evaluation. Psychologists use this test to try to examine the personality characteristics and emotional functioning of their patients. It was proved to be very popular and i am going to steer very close to the principles of the test and carry out alot of research as to how the tests our anaylsed, types of outcomes, colours used, meaning of drawings e.t.c
Below is an example of the types of images used and possible outcomes the user might see.
Plate I
This is a black and white card, often described as looking like a mask or the face of a fox or wolf. Possible Sexual Imagery: Breasts, primarily the rounded areas at the top of the image.
Plate II
This is a card with black and red ink, often described as people dancing or touching hands with each other. Possible Sexual Imagery: Male sex organ at top center or, in some cases, a vagina (at the center near the bottom).
