I need some help from some creative people around here. I'm involved with an organization that does, among many things, charity fund raising.
We are doing a series of projects, and some of them are randomly assigned. I was lucky enough to get one that I know little, if anything, about. The topic is art; either modern, sculptures, architecture, Renaissance Period, Age of Baroque, Contemporary, etc. If it's art, it's acceptable.
I am expected to give a presentation that deals with the study of art; but I am not yet sure how to proceed because I have to somehow connect art to medicine. Since psychiatry is where my interests lie, I would think that this should actually make this topic a little easier, but another difficulty lies in the fact that this art needs to be somewhat controversial. The controversy doesn't have to be in the message though, like a politcal statement; it could be as simple as someone with Austism creating a masterpiece and then explaining a model of thought perception that explains its features.
Can anyone come up with some ideas? I would love to hear anything anyone can come up with.
Ideally, I would love to somehow connect this to the anti-psychiatry screwballs (Scientology, for example), and show how ignorant they really are...
Any help would be appreciated.
