most emotive art (for you)

[Elvain]

This may be little controversial

Some people could consider also sport as part of arts and I was considering if I should put it there, but finaly I decided not to put it in the poll. Though it could really be beautifull, it doesn't say any message in those masterpieces (except strong will which is in every unique human activity)

to make the categories more understandabla:
1) Literature is clear I guess. Includes poetry and prose, playwrighting could be included here, but also to theatre because it needs also acting)
2) Theatre - acting, but not dance
3) Dance, Ballet though it needs music and also playwright sometimes I made it separate category
4) Music - can't imagine clearer category :wink:
5) Graphic art - includes drawings, paintings and photography
6) Plastic art - Sculptures and Architecture. I know it's usualy closely connected with graphic art. The diference is IMO clear, it is 3D

I know it's extremely hard to pick just one, so I allow multiple votes in the poll.

There might be legitime complain that there isn't film. To be honest I pre-disqualified it, because I personaly find it as "ultimate" art which is symbiosis of all "classical arts"
Why? Because film is mixture of poetry, prose, playwright, acting, music, graphic and plastic art.
If you find it unfair, we can change the poll.
--
I personaly would say Film, as I described it, it is a point where all arts meet and make the ultimate art (if made properly and with love)

Why Literature?
I have special place for literature coz I sometimes write and when you're alone, nothing can compete with reading your favourite poem)

Why Theatre?
I don't go to theatres often, but when I do it once in a year or so, I'm amazed!

Why Music?
Music is the best art to come deep inside me and touch everything there. Many of my best (or worst) moments are connected with some piece of music, also for most of my friends I have a special song which "belongs" to them

Why not Graphic and Plastic Art?
I couldn't pick all you understand, it wouldn't be "the most emotive" then :lol:
I love paintings and photograpphies (I actualy try to take photographs myself), I love architecture because it can say so much and touch you (though "faithless" I always feel to touch something supernatural when I step into a cathedral)

Why not Dance?
well, I know it can be impressing, but for me not as much as the other.

Although it's the kind of art I practice least I think I have to say for me it's music. But to be honest, I don't think I can judge from an unbiased point of view. I find acting extremely emotional when I'm on stage but I'm not sure how the audience feels about that and I absolutely love Ballet because it's so emotional, but then it's a lot about music too.
Writing is difficult. It depends a lot on the authors style to write. It would have to be something in which I can fully get absorbed and the same applies to graphic and plastic arts. I find it easier to put a distance in between me and a book / picture.

I think movies should be included. Of course they are an amalgamation of a lot of different types of art but they create something unique you don't have with any other form of art because they address a lot of different senses. I'd definitely say movies too.

Another thing is that when you go to a concert, play or movie it's the only focus, you just get absorbed into it easier. If you read a book or look at a picture it's easier to get distracted, you can't fully blend out the surrounding.

Why didn't you vote in the poll, catt? :scratch:

[catt]

I didn't vote yet because I hope that film is yet to be added.

[Dobber]

Oh, okay!

[Moryarity]

So, I voted for
1. literature: Though I am not reading very much (as I am a very slow reader I need a lot of time to read a book..but I read :rofl:) I still have to say, that some literature is very emotional..especialle poems and plays.....(as you can see in my sig I also have one of my favourite quotes from Shakespeare there..it is the German translation of:
...for it so falls out
That what we have we prize not to the worth
Whiles we enjoy it, but being lack'd and lost,
Why, then we rack the value, then we find
The virtue that possession would not show us

And other poems might as well be very touching :go:

2. Theatre...I am one of the people who can get very involved ina play..especially if it is combine with my 3rd voting:

3. music: When i saw "the colour purple" on broadway I was crying for quater of an hour before ...I started just before the finale...right through the end titles of the orchestr and even when the people started leain the theatre I was still crying..the music and the play have been so wonderful :go:

Also I like music very much..it really can touch your heart and I consider music as a way of expressing a mood or feeling..not only if you make it yourself but also by listening to it :go:

I didn't vote, because it's not the medium that creates emotion, but the author.

But I enjoy literature most, because it is the favorite medium of my favorite artists.

[Dobber]

I misunderstood the poll and answered which medium gives ne the most emotion, as the author of the work.

[Doux]

Definitely Music and Literature. "For you" I then interpreted as "listen/read" and not "create". These fields contain the most authors that evoke different sorts of emotions with me. What would I be without music? And then, what if I had never read a poem.. unimaginable.

[Elvain]

the poll was meant Which medium is the best for you to feel the emotion.

It of course depends on author (I can better enjoy good dancer than bad music), but I think that the medium influences your ability to understand the original emotion.

It is all very subjective, that's why I ask. I know there is no universal best medium. But mostly when you are skilled to feel music (to listen it) or picture, you prefere this medium to put your emotions in it.

[Dobber]

Now that I understand the poll, I added literature and music to my choice and increased each by one in the poll, although it will not add my name to those.

I enjoy reading probably more than any other thing, I can lose myself in a book for hours at a time. I transfer myself into the prose and in my mind live what I am reading feeling the emotions the author has scripted.
Music? Enough said! It can lift your spirits probably quicker than any other medium.
Drawing, painting, photography, - a photograph of a sunset over the ocean will always bring me joy, as I think of times I have walked upon a beach at sunset with my wife and the ecstasy that I felt being there with her! A painting of a cozy summer cottage brings memories of childhood and a time of innocence, when there were no cares in the world, and oh, what a lift I get, troubled thoughts are replaced by a feeling of happiness.
