Features: This volume explores the themes of art and psychology, physiology, and art anthropology. In the "Thoughts" section, the article by American scholar Konstantinos on aesthetics from the perspectives of psychology and physiology offers unique insights. The articles "Psychological and Therapeutic Assessment Using Painting Art as a Medium," "Art, Sensation, Science, and the Color Wheel of Physiology," "Is Medicine an Art?--The Evolution of Medical Nature and the Rise of Medical Art," and "Artists as 'Psychologists'" analyze artistic phenomena or artists from different psychological and physiological angles. Research in art anthropology has just begun in China. This volume publishes a special essay by Dr. Fang Lili, providing an in-depth discussion of research methods in art anthropology. The two papers, "Design as 'Reparation': Design Thinking Encounters Anthropology" by Panagiotis Roledis and "User Research: Anthropological Concepts and Methods in Design Studies" by Dr. Hu Fei, hold positive significance for anthropological research in design studies. In the "History" section, young scholars Huang Zhicheng and Huang Shuiyin offer insightful analyses of the art of Salvador Dalí and Wassily Kandinsky, respectively. In the "Fieldwork" section, two articles are published: one on Dai silverware craftsmanship and another on Miao residential architecture, both of which have certain reference value. In the "Translation" section, the paper "Art History and Psychology" by Rudolf Arnheim is also being presented to Chinese readers for the first time and is worth reading.
