I haven't done an entire course psychology course for art students, but I have done a series of guest lectures in art history classes. A terrific source for this is Solso, R. L. (1994). Cognition and the visual art. MIT Press. The chapters are: Science of vision, Brain and vision, Perception, Visual cognition, Context, cognition and art, Eye movement and perception of art, Visual Perspective, Perspective and the history of art, and Canonic representation, memory and cognition of art.
Doing and entire course, I could imagine assembling some material on personality, emotion, social, motivation, pathology, etc. Access to a slide library and a good art historian would be essential. There are lots of good demonstrations and overhead that could be collected for the course, particularly with an art historian in tow. The students truly enjoyed the material, as did the art historian, and I found it rewarding and interesting. Good luck. Thomas J.
