(1) Intuition and perception. Art appreciation often begins on the psychological basis of intuition and perception, which can make the appreciator notice the external formal beauty of the work and intuitively feel its significance. ① Aesthetic intuition is the beginning of the whole appreciation activity. It is a direct and rapid grasp of the aesthetic object by the aesthetic subject in aesthetic activities, which is embodied in the seamless integration of the keen feeling of formal beauty and the instantaneous understanding of aesthetic implication. ② Aesthetic feeling refers to the aesthetic subject mobilizing the corresponding sensory organs such as vision and hearing to realize the perceptual grasp of the works of art.. The acuteness, delicacy and richness of aesthetic feeling have laid a necessary foundation for the further deepening of artistic appreciation. Aesthetic feeling involves not only the external formal beauty of artistic works, but also the internal aesthetic significance of artistic works. Of course, the in-depth exploration of aesthetic implication needs more positive activities of psychological elements.
(2) Experience and imagination. Aesthetic experience and imagination are the central links in the process of artistic appreciation. ① Aesthetic experience is a special psychological state in which the receiver, on the basis of intuitive perception and his own aesthetic experience, dives into the specific situation of the artistic work, melts into the image world of the artistic work, and blends with the artistic work. At the same time, due to the development of aesthetic imagination and association, the appreciator can talk with the work or artist, gain insight into its deep meaning, and gradually produce aesthetic pleasure. ② Aesthetic imagination is a positive psychological activity in which the aesthetic subject recombines the original memory representations in accordance with the law of beauty in aesthetic activities to form a new aesthetic image. In the aesthetic experience, imagination and association are the most active.
(3) Understanding and creation. Understanding and creation are higher stages on the basis of the first two stages. Through a higher level of aesthetic re-creation activities, the subject and object are integrated, and * * * sounds and epiphanies occur, so that the mind of the appreciator is purified, the spirit is sublimated, and an aesthetic pleasure at the spiritual personality level is obtained, which transcends the aesthetic process of artistic appreciation. ① aesthetic comprehension is the receiver's rational understanding of the meaning, characteristics, significance and value of artistic works ... Understanding is an indispensable part of the aesthetic psychology of artistic appreciation. This is because works of art not only have perceptual forms and vivid images, but also have intrinsic and profound meanings, and are often vague and obscure, full of things that can only be understood but cannot be expressed. Therefore, art appreciation must be a combination of emotional experience and appreciation judgment, and a combination of perceptual factors and rational factors. The goal of artistic appreciation is to complete the receiver's re-creation. In fact, re-creation runs through the positive activities of psychological elements such as aesthetic intuition, aesthetic perception, aesthetic experience, aesthetic imagination and aesthetic comprehension. The receiver's re-creation is embodied in two aspects: the supplement, perfection and variation of the image system of artistic works, and the enrichment, extension and development of the aesthetic implication of artistic works.
