Expressionism: The Mystery

          Expressionism is the displaying of one's inner feeling, emotions, and methods of coping through art.  This is created when a person digs deeply into their preferred form of art to let their emotions out.  Some dance, whether it be choppy and full of anger, or smooth and full of love or sadness, is a powerful way of releasing all that seems ready to explode in the that person's mind.  It usually comes from being overwhelmed, hurt, surprised, or inspired.  Others may write a poem as a form of expressionism. 

          I often do this, but only when I'm in "the mode."  I have to either be feeling strong emotions of confusion or become inspired by over-thinking.  This often happens with me when I'm overly tired.  I would let the words pour out of my mind and onto the paper without any thought.  

          It is this kind of art that displays the deepest of feelings, this kind of art that accurately shows one's inner-self if interpreted correctly, and it is this kind of art that one can express in almost any way, whether in; painting, drawing, taking photos at certain angles to capture the artist's mood, improvisation in singing while in a deep mood, or it can be expressed in almost anything that could be considered art.  Expressionism is the kind of art that digs down and finds the deepest, most honest feelings and qualities in a person.
