Brycen mentions how in class, "Emotion was said to be the single factor that pulls all of what was mentioned with regards to Knowledge, Imagination, and Creativity together...Emotion or emotions are the driving or pushing force behind every single thing that we do in life. Emotions, when in the right state of mind can cause one to finish a task at hand when it seems that it will never get done...Now a question I pose, can emotions be the driving factor in everything in life, from art to leisure activities?"
I think this can be true that emotions are the driving factor in everything in life, but not necessarily the deciding factor. While emotions can urge us to finish tasks or view a certain artwork or leisure activity in a given light, they seem to only fully drive those people who are more romantics, those who are emotionally-driven by nature. People who use their minds more than their hearts, however, the thought-driven individuals, would likely not be driven by emotions when it comes to everything in life.
Therefore, it is possible for emotions to be the driving factor in everything in life for some, but not for all. When it comes to art, though, I think even the thought-driven individuals can be brought to moments where emotions take over and become the driving force for their thought.
Personally, I am an emotion-driven individual and can be brought to intense moments of emotion by a work of art--a photo, a film, a painting. For any of you who are of that thought-driven group of individuals, have you had instances where this is true; instances where thought has nearly fully exited the picture and emotion taken over?
