Emotions

Today in class we touched on the subject of how emotions can be related to art, some in a positive way and some in a negative way. The colors of a painting can show if the artist was angry or sad. However the person observing it may not feel the same way, for they may look at a painting that was intended to be bright and cheerful and it could make them sad. Everyone's interpretation of something is different, this isn't necessarily a bad thing though it gives different perspectives. But it just means that we may not always be looking at something with the same "emotion" as the artist had intended. Have you ever looked at something and you thought it carried one particular emotion, but then when you go back and look at it you realize something different about it?
