Maybe you have seen it here on the website or on social media: You can support psychoSoph on social media now! Check it out to gift me a one-time coffee that keeps m awake while working on the next chapter or get a membership to get more insight into the process of the comic that I do not post on social media!
The processing fluency there is a special topic for me because I worked on it during my own doctoral thesis. However, I struggled with this chapter a little bit. 🙊 When you have worked on a topic so much it can be hard to shorten things. This chapter is actually the longest that I so far published on psychoSoph!
By the way, processing fluency is not the only criterion that plays a role in our appreciation of art. If you are German-speaking you can read an article that I wrote for the German version of the InMind magazine (english version) to get more info on that: „Gibt es ein Kunstzentrum in unserem Gehirn? Alles Banane!“. Edit: The article is now available in English – Is there an art center in our brain? That’s bananas!
This chapter was also a cooperation with PhDSciCom (also German-language). This and next week they will upload a reel and a few info posts with topics from art psychology that I have created with them (reel, info post 1, info post 2). I even voice the reel myself. Thank you to the PhDSciCom team! 😁
Last but not least, you will find a few drawings and paintings I have done in my other art style. On my blog Soph’s Sketchpad you can see them in full size: Hair Hero, Red Braids & Waves Crashing.
The other artworks of other artists that I have redrawn are Leonardo da Vinci: Mona Lisa (La Gioconda, 1503-1506), François Boucher: Reclining Girl (1751), Pablo Picasso: The Queen Isabeau (1908) & Mark Rothko: Untitled (1954).
