Expressionism*

a.) Expressionism is when an artist distorts reality for emotion, and effects on that emotion. It's a subjective art form. The artist wants people to feel the emotion, almost looking at something you see in your dreams or something similar to that. Expressionism, is why we make art, and why people look at art. Cognitivism contributes more to knowledge, and knowing things. Artist point this out in their work, providing knowledge in their art that shows unique things about our world and our knowledge of that.

b.) Art is something that an artist puts on a canvas or in a book that they themselves have felt or been through, making the audience feel these feelings as well. It's not always purposely done, but it happens, and that's why art is art, in Tolstoy.

c.) In Collingwood's definition of art, the viewer, collaborates with the artist by being an active participant in creation. The viewer must imaginatively reconstruct the artist's emotive and imaginative expression.

d.) Kiki Smiths art doesn't really have a meaning to her past or her life experiences. In most of her work she uses the image of the human body. She uses the human body forms and and organs, that most the time are awkward to look, to portray the existence of the human body. Louise Bourgeois creates art from her memory, and life experiences. Things that she has been through in her own life. Some of her work is from her relationship with her parents, and things from her childhood dealing with bad things, or lost things. But she remembers everything, so she puts it into her work.

e.) I choose Jennifer Caviola, because her art shows emotion and feelings on how she must feel about something. It's more expressive than anything i will make, but it resembles most to my work, because my work has a lot to do with my feelings and how i felt when i was in the present time being.
