Evaluate the article
This article talks about the psychology of art. It talks about different types of art and the meaning behind each one. Before reading this article, I did not realize there were so many things about art that I did not know. When it comes to the content, a lot of the stuff is old information but some of it is new. The article talks about a lot of different types of art, not just one thing. Talking about sources and references, the links do work. Some of the things are backed up by secondary source information, but it states that the majority of the text is based off of one source of information. There are images in the article and they have captions on what they are showing. For example, there are two pictures side by side showing abstract and figurative art. It states that, "Abstract art is more ambiguous than figurative art." There is a lot going on within the talk page. One thing is someone helping on how to do citations and on the other hand, someone talks about how messed up Van Gogh was. I believe the article was good and very well developed.
