Emotional Art.

Goldfinch60



I listen to music,

I look at paintings,

And so many times I am drawn ,

Drawn into them,

Wondering why it was written,

Or why it was painted.

But then I realise

That any art

Is not there for understanding,

It is there to create emotion,

Create emotion within me,

And those emotions

Become part of my life.

    Good write Gold.
    I started clearing up what I thought was a pile of rubbish at an Art Show. Someone said 'Oh, that's an exhibit!' Doh!

        Yes, I tried to make that bed - it looked untidy! lol.
        Any art from 1066 that is emotional? We are in the Bayeux Tapestry, us two.

        You are quite write Andy .. they aint just words on a page or strokes of paint on a canvas ... they serve a much greater purpose .... made me think long and hard on the subject this mane, so ya did .......

          Thank you Neville, so true, I have spent all my lifetime listening to music and get lost in it. Equally when ever I go into an art gallery I always end up being in another world, I am a member of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford and I could spend my life there. The emotion that art can bring to me is almost surreal.

          Yes, the artist/songwriter/poet gives us the materials arranged in a way that we use our life experience to create a meaningful interpretation, a picture if you will. I am learning to do this myself using just enough information to tease my reader into the desired frame of picture making mind.

          Yesterday I commented upon Neville's ability to do this with regularity, he's very good.

            You are loosing me, dusk: I have a very pedestrian mind, and comprehension has just flown out of the window.

              Those 'materials' give us so many emotions d a, at least they do me.

                  The creative urge, found it late in life.
                  Truly separates humanity from the rest!
                  Nice observations.

                  • Goldfinch60

                    It surely does John.
