Art is very personal .

But what I find strange the most how different people view art . It's not always emotional . I can only speak for my self but I don't tend to judge art by beauty . I look at the brush stroke , use of color , subject , what the painter /artist meant by his/her piece . Why ? Maybe because I'm an artist myself I detach myself emotionally from art that others created . I never can look at something and say I like it or I don't like it. I see how materials have been used not the beauty . Makes me that less as a human ? Am I unfeeling ? Is art made my other artist cognitive for me because I am an artist myself ?

Maybe the emotional part surface when I'm drawing and painting . You can't do that without emotion , a piece of your soul is reflected in your artwork . There the feelings surface and take old of my pencil/brush .

For myself , I think it's a mix of both cognitive and emotional . One used looking at art from others and the other if I'm making a piece . I don't think it's possible to have one without the other , not for me anyway .
