My Pug: An Analysis Of Emotions

Highlighting the emotions

Three emotions I grasped from this piece would be dramatic, graceful and intense. Some parts felt like things were turbulence, as if things were out of control. However some parts seemed tranquil, calm and content. As if nothing was to be worried about. However, then it was transition into a dramatic emotion such as, if something was piling up.

Since the beginning of time, artists have labored extensively to find innovative ways to convey sentiment, passion, and feeling. Telling stories and trying to unlock the minds of people through different avenues of artistic labors. Art touches and affects people in unique ways; it can have special or unusual meaning on the person depending on how one views it. Artists’ rendering of their art is interpreted in numerous ways by others who view it unless it is explained by the artist on its meaning giving a clear example of what they are portraying. Two people looking at the same painting, sculpture, portrait, or photo may come to different views on the arts meaning even though they are looking

Life is full of emotions, whether it be happy or sad. It is what keeps everyone going.

As a result from this discussion, a class list is made on the board describing the types of design elements and how they can be used to create and emotion artwork. The elements being colour and how it can be used to convey emotions e.g. red for anger, yellow -happiness, orange-warmth, and blue-peace. Also, what kinds of lines there are and ways in which they can be used to create patterns, depth perception, and emotion such as straight, jagged, squiggly, thick, thin repetitive or natural. Shapes are important in giving the artwork structure and purpose and can be geometric, natural, imaginative or

Emotions are often thought to be personal. One may say “I am sad.” or “I am mad.” or I am scared.” and frequently we believe those emotions are inhabiting just the body in which they were created.

While art is only a hobby to some, it can be a source of happiness and closure to others. Art, literature, and music have helped numerous people through challenging times, being an outlet in which one can let their emotions out. This being said, struggles such as addiction and depression can have an affect on an artists work. Many artists would not have the same quality of work they have today if they did not channel their emotions through art as a outlet. Sharing experiences through art is one of the most timeless ways to tell a story, dating way back to some of the first pieces literature and music created. Art is one of the biggest outlets in which one can let their emotions out in a healthy and effective way, sharing one’s story, getting their feelings figured out, while impacting the quality of work that is created.

Human emotions remain as one of the world’s biggest secrets. Like sleep, we know what happens to our body when we experience these emotions whether it be a release of hormones or a certain area on the body becomes more sensitive. But we don’t know why we have them, experience them, or what purpose they serve. All we know is everyone’s emotions behave differently. Different types of arts can elicit completely different emotional response from people. Some art may have the ability to appeal to dangerous emotions in certain people. Whether it be the corruption of a once faithful and beautiful young girl, plagued by the desire for romanticism and lofty ideas, or a handsome young nobleman who is obsessed with living life to fullest. Both are fueled by the emotion that a certain type of art elicits in them, leaving them in a never ending chase that ruins there life’s. In the Novels Madame Bovary and The Picture of Dorian Grey the protagonists in these stories perfectly exemplifies the danger of arts emotional appeal by showing the corruption and eventual downfall of two once young and beautiful souls by exposing them to art that pleases dangerous emotions such as desire, pleasure, entitlement and disappointment.

The young, innocent, promising lives of our past drive emotions through artistic expressions that can be displayed though many outsources. I met my lifelong friend on a day that seemed inevitable to find absolutely nothing. Upon our day to view the art gallery, I entered the gallery feeling very negative that I would view any pieces of art that spoke to me directly. I thought, what possible piece could spark any emotions whatsoever within this “old soul”. I imagined walking in to the gallery to find out that the artistic expressions of others meant little to nothing to me. I was wrong in my assumptions and found a beautiful painting named “Console” by Barlow Palminteri. Tasked with describing what the painting looks like, what it means to me, as well as my

The movement emphasized intense emotion as an authentic source of aesthetic experience, placing new emphasis on such emotions as apprehension, horror and terror, and awe—especially that which is experienced in confronting the new aesthetic categories of the sublimity and beauty of nature.

At the introduction of this paper I informed you that I would pick a new artist, choose one of their paintings, discuss how it made me feel, and what part of the brain these topics came from. I used my eyes, my brain,s visual cortex located in the occipital lobe, and the right hemisphere to feel the emotion of sorrow. This paper was a little trying for me as I do not really connect with art, but it was very informative in a self-teaching

“Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin drew their inspiration from emotions. Van Gogh declared that "instead of trying to reproduce what I have before my eyes I use color more arbitrarily in order to express myself forcibly," whereas Gauguin advised a fellow painter: "Go on working, freely and furiously, you will make progress.... A strong emotion can be translated immediately” (Maurice Malingue, qtd. in Galenson and Weinberg_2).

giving a voice to problems, social and political criticism, and human emotion in an artistic form.

Whether that be an emotion or an idea I want to try and create something that brings the viewer to a place of further understanding. I have done this in the past through photography because I find it can be more relatable when I use real life to convey a concept. On my way to achieving a degree in media arts I am attending Emily Carr university. This has helped me further both my technical and conceptual skills.

Have you ever taken a picture or been looking through a photo album and felt a sudden rush of emotion? Do you wonder what caused that emotion? Many find themselves captivated by a photograph and overwhelmed by the emotions that the photograph arouses. Believe it or not the arousal of emotion from those photographs was not caused by the content of the picture but by certain elements within the photograph. When a photograph is viewed it is not only the subject that triggers the overwhelming emotional response, it is the length of time that the film was exposed to sunlight, the way lighting is used and played with, and the strong detail of colors or lack thereof. While many believe that the subject acts as the primary stimuli to emotions, the
