Response to Josh

Josh asked in one of his posts:
Do you believe that the need to express the emotion to the artist is greater than to the audience?

This is a bit like Brycen's question which I just answered. I do, in fact, believe that it is more important for the artist to express themselves than for the audience to understand what exactly is going on. Art can be a very personal, and sometimes private, thing where the audience is not always necessary or important. Art is about expressing the artist's emotions, and as we have talked about in class before, the emotion understood by the audience will never be exactly the same as the artist's anyways. Even if the artist views their piece again, it is not guaranteed that they will have the exact same emotions again as they did when they were creating.


What do you guys think?
