Abstract
Art is an important aspect of life as it reflects identity, connects cultures, and serves as a tool to express oneself. It also plays a role in individual development and affects one’s quality of life. The present study uses a mixed-method approach to investigate the variance in art appreciation across different age groups. Participants (N = 63), aged 6 to 17, engaged in the experiment as dyads. The study compares different levels of art appreciation across various forms of art. This will be done through both quantitative and qualitative analysis. Drawing upon the most recent literature, I expect a more profound appreciation of art with older children. I anticipate no differences in the overall appreciation of art across various art forms, but I do expect age-related differences within each form of art. The results were based on a questionnaire, a structured conversation and another questionnaire. The findings suggest that there is no age- or art form-related variance in art appreciation. However, due to limitations, the age-related variances within the different art forms could not be investigated. In spite of that, this study contributes to the research field of art and psychology. Future research may focus more on characteristics and their influence on variance in art appreciation, instead of solely focusing on age differences.
