Cognitivism - based on knowledge. The viewer of the art basically decides their opinion on the piece because the piece usually expresses an opinion of the artist. The work makes the viewer take a side on the view the artist is expressing.
The difference between expressionism and cognitivism is fairly simple. Expressionism pretty much makes the decisions for you while cognitivism makes you decide. Expressionism puts everything out in front of you and doesn't allow you to really think all that much. Cognitivism is based on thought and knowledge because you make the decision about the piece since it is basically a view given to the viewer to decipher.
b. Tolstoy's definition of art focuses on how all elements of art interact with each other. Art to him has to have an experience where all the elements, such as the art, viewer, artist, etc. present certain facts or opinions and essentially educates the viewers.
c. In Collingwood's definition of art, the viewer completes the piece or even is the piece. The actual piece of art matters very little and the reaction to the piece by the viewer is essentially the entire piece in itself.
d. Louise used metaphors to express what has happened in her past and makes the viewers aware of certain events with her family while Kiki uses metaphors to literally represent something and made the viewer aware of issues that she thought needed to be emphasized.
e. Felice Grodin is an artist I found on the drawing center. The main link between my piece and Felice's works is visual. Felice's works look very similar to mine in the sense that there are a massive amount of lines and details. Basically the only link is visual and pretty interesting in the sense that it appears that Felice did something to the piece and then based the next move on the existing medium on the art already.
