Emotions

Art and philosophy can be so confusing for me, and have a hard time wrapping my head around a lot of theories, just because it is not the usual way that I think. However, it still intrigues me, especially on the topic of emotions.
Everyone talks about how emotions are such a big part of art, and even some of our lovely philosophers argued that art needs to convey an emotion from the artist to the audience. I get this to a certain point, but how do we know when we are feeling something, especially from a specific work? Can Also, do we have to feel it right away, or will it still count if the emotion is delayed? Do emotions have to be conveyed for something to be art? What constitutes an emotion?
