Draw diagonal lines, wavy lines, shadows and circles.

Psychological analysis of painting belongs to the field of psychological projection test. Through analysis, we can really understand a person's inner world, even the secrets of the subconscious level. However, this is a very professional and difficult field. Similar tests include room tree (HTP) test, handwriting analysis, Rorschach ink test and thematic apperception test. However, the advantages and disadvantages of this test analysis are equally obvious. The advantage is that it can avoid the interference and disguise of rational consciousness. The disadvantage is that there are many possibilities for seemingly similar pictures. Finding and determining the accurate symbolic meaning from them requires a profound theoretical foundation and rich experience accumulation. Perhaps it can be said in a general way, for example, large-scale shadows often reflect inner depression, and sharp strokes often reflect inner anger and aggression. But the problem is that people's psychology is a very complex and multi-level world, and different people may draw the same picture at different times, which may have completely different meanings. Therefore, painting analysis often needs to listen to the painter's self-explanation and observe his manners, otherwise the analysis of the picture can only be used as a reminder and verification, but not as an inevitable explanation and inference.

For example, shadows may often reflect inner depression, but they involve individuals, and they may just want to express a serious and dignified sketch scene, or they may be simple memories of a scene in memory. Painting analysis is not a simple analysis, which may need to consider brush strokes, layout orientation, picture content, order and so on. It is an extremely strict and complicated professional field. If you start with a little knowledge, you will often become a fortune teller and a fool.

Of course, even for psychologists, understanding people's hearts is an arduous task. If it is too easy and too simple, it can only be a fantasy.
