QUESTION #1: "How are emotions..."
QUESTION #1.
**************************************************************************************************
Sadness feels like a never ending whirlpool of something you can't necessarily always control. The cause of it could be a death in the family, a break-up, a fight. anything really that impacts your life in someway. For some people it can be more strong than others, or just a minor instance in their lives. This all can be shown simply in one photograph. Someone who had just learned they lost a family or friend could be sitting next to their casket, with an arm resting on it, tear drops. That can simply show the sadness the person could be feeling. This is much different than happy. Happy can be a new birth, a new event, a happy one. A happy photograph can be a small baby in the arms of a mother, her smiling down at it. Happiness is suppose to be one of the best emotions a human can ever experience.
Overall, I think a sadder photograph would be more impactful and universally descriptive because you usually can see the emotion, and some photographs, are seen to be one emotion, but really is some other one. If you were in a position in one of the sad photographs like the first one below, the editing of the picture make it much more impactful if it was just some girl standing there, tears in her eyes. But two simple words can change it to a whole different meaning. "I'm Fine.". It can be taken many ways. How I see it is that a lot of people who are asked if they are okay, they say they are fine, even if they aren't.
How are emotions raised by a photograph (work of art) different from typical human emotions? (For example, is a 'sad' photograph/painting different from another experience of sadness?)Is it different for different kinds of emotion? (For example, is a 'happy' photograph more universally descriptive?)If so, how? If not, why not?
