Art as a Cognitive Simulation; Literature, Cinema, Bibliotherapy and Other Intersections

It is asserted that the art concept define the artifacts, human creations which leads to admiration through powerful emotional impact which was created by them. Art philosophers emphasize that comprehension of art might provide better understanding of other individuals. It was claimed that empathy skills of an individual provide opportunities to learn indirectly without direct experience via product of art. In the related literature empathy concept is asserted as a concept which take place in recent articles more frequently than before. On the other hand, art draw attention via providing learning through modelling for people who has empathy skills, as well as providing probabilities like better understanding of self and better handling of life problems. Human-art relationship has myriad of intersections which hosts various opportunities. The aim of this study is handling human-art relationship and effects of art on individual - through the conceptualization of art as a cognitive and emotional simulation- via related literature. As a conclusion it can be seen clearly that the interactions between human and artistic productions -either in any natural setting or psychotherapy setting- bring out a kind of cognitive simulation, produce a kind of educational dynamic which affects social, cognitive and emotional areas.
