Abstract

The impact of education and expertise in art on the process of examining a work of art has been studied in the present study via eye tracking method. The main purpose of the study was to compare a group of experts and non-experts in art with regard to eye tracking measurements, artwork analyses and recall performance. In this research, expert and non-expert groups were compared in terms of eye tracking measurements, heat maps, artwork analysis and the recall performances. Heat maps were demonstrated that experts viewed Early Renaissance and Fauvism movements, artworks more while non-experts viewed Fauvist artworks more in comparison with AOIs. However, it was indicated that there is no statistically significant difference between the expert and non-expert groups for each artwork about eye metrics and recall performance during art-work analysis. On the other hand, artwork analysis grades of the experts were deter-mined to be higher at a statistically significant level in comparison with the non-experts.

Highlights

Paintings are products of the human mind that are silent and devoid of words, which become visible through the act of painting
Different area of interests (AOIs) were determined for the three oil paintings used in the study
It was produced by the heat maps that experts looked at the pre-determined AOIs more for “The Arnolfini Portrait” and “Fred and Marcia Weisman” in comparison with non-experts; whereas non-experts looked at the AOIs for “Conversation” more

Summary

Introduction

Paintings are products of the human mind that are silent and devoid of words, which become visible through the act of painting. While the process of artwork analysis requires an active participation from the viewer, it is an effort to approach the artist by interpreting the work of the artist transforming the painted canvas to a replica of reality. In this regard, the relationship between psychological processes and artwork analysis which at its essence is the process of “interpreting an image” cannot be denied. According to Friedlander, “Art being a thing of the mind, it follows that any scientific study of art will be psychology.” The meaning in the painting is dynamically restructured by both the artist and the viewer (Leppert, 1996, p. 19)
