Response to Blog- Expression of Art

I am responding to Shelby's blog in which she asks would feelings perhaps be best expressed through both art and words?

Studying general semantics you learn of something called the structural differential, which is the way humans supposedly abstract information from the many things we experience. This process of abstraction is done on a non-verbal level and a verbal level. As we go down the structural differential the less things are being abstracted and more things are getting filtered out. For example, we experience pain on the non-verbal level and therefore when it comes time to get across how painful the pain was we could only do so much. We can describe the pain and compare it to something , but we can't get across the actual painfulness of the pain. Where am I going with this? Well, Art is a form of non-verbal communication and it exists (I believe) as a medium for artists to get across feelings that they can't get across on a verbal level. Have you ever had a situation where something happened to someone and just by their reaction alone you could feel exactly what they were feeling. For example, when you see someone laughing and happy you being all smiley and happy or when you see someone sad and crying inside your heart falls and you become sad. That is non-verbal communication. That is more effective than saying I am sad or I am happy. I feel like words are just there and don't get across the main point. Yea we need words for everyday life, but in order to express the unsaid we need art. I feel feelings are only best expressed through art/action. I can say I love you but my actions say otherwise. On the verbal level I can say I am disgusted with you and I hate you but on the non-verbal level my actions say otherwise. Art is a complex thing, however I do believe it is the best means in which we can communicate our feelings. With that said my question is, when viewing art does our current emotional/mental state have an impact on how we view a work of art and how we interpret it at a particular moment?
