Question 3

How are emotions raised by a work of art different from typical human emotions? (For example, is a "sad" photograph different from another experience of sadness? If so, how?)

In some pictures, it may affect the audience more than others. For example, if you do a portrait of someone sad, you may just have it in your memory for a little time. But if you see a picture of someone next to their love one mourning because they have died, it gives a bigger effect in your brain. You think, "How can someone do this to them?" You start to think more about why it's happening and you remember about it longer because you think that it can affect your life too. You may realize that its a very big situation that can effect everyone rather than just one person. However, when emotions are negative with other details in the background, its gives us a bigger thought on what is happening than a happy or excited kind of emotion.
