Sean Glennon asked this question: Does the child need to have their superego to be intentionally creating art?
Well, the superego is just another way of saying the part of the mind reserved for higher thought. I would say that in order to create something like a drawing, only the ego is needed. Putting down marks on a paper requires no higher thought, only conscious thought and motor functions. What differentiates that from intentional art is another level of processing thoughts and emotions. No matter what you call it, yes, the superego is needed for the intentional creation of art.
Is there any art in which the id is obviously celebrated, instead of being disguised?
