Question 3
How are emotions raised by a work of art different from typical human emotions?
I think emotions felt through a piece of artwork is something that is very obscure and internal. It's usually not very expressive, at least not in a very outwardly way. I think it has a very personal and thoughtful appeal, which is somewhat more genuine than something that is physically expressed. For example, I don't need to always frown or cry in order to portray the idea of feeling/being sad, instead it can be expressed inwardly through words, actions, thoughts, aura and mood. I think the obscurity is what elevates this emotion from just typical human emotions. I think the emotion is more sincere when it is contained, because sometimes the physical expression of typical human emotions can come off being fake or unreal. Is the act of exhibiting emotion truly necessary for others to grasp what one is truly feeling, or can we rely on our internal instincts to decipher that "idea" for ourselves.
