What do we do when we create a piece of art work? What are we thinking about when we create it. Are we trying to recreate the object or what we felt when we saw the object. While we were reading Harrison, she boldly claimed that when an artist creates a masterpiece, he or she is not trying to recreate the object but is actually trying to recreate an emotion that he or she felt when it was seen.
I agree with Harrison. The point of art for an artist is that he or she can receate the feelings and the emotions that he or she felt when they were at the place. Recreating the object has a lot less effect on a person that being able to feel the emotions all over again. Seeing something for a second or even a third time can cause emotions to well up and can cause a person to remember another place and time when they had the same feelings. It also allows a person to catalog this experience of emotion as something new and exciting and let a person compare the future expereinces to this one. Emotions run a lot deeper and are carried by every person in a different capacity. An artist, when he recreates something, is trying to instil the same emotion that he felt at the time. Each form of art triggers something different in every person and has a different meaning. Something like that can cause another person to want to recreate an important event in their lives. Seeing a specific structure or place can have a lasting effect on a person. Niagra Falls is one of the prettiest things that I have ever seen. It didn't really envoke too much emotion but it did allow me to marvel at what wonders the world has. It is more important to recreate the emotion that it is to recreate the object. Emotions are aomethings that every person can relate to and can share in different capacities with different people. Recreation of an object is just copying what someone else has done and not putting it into your own perspective. It's the emotions that tie people together.
