Art is structured like a language. It is simultaneously a conscious and intentional mental activity and a more irrational and unconscious form of expression. Art can involve a feeling of sudden euphoria and release and also contain a host of intellectual and emotional reactions. Art has the power to evoke emotions and the power to shock, confuse, repel and illuminate. Language has very similar characteristics. Language is a tool we use to communicate with each other and express our emotions and thoughts. Through the language of art we can also communicate and evoke a response in the viewer.
Is artistic meaning beyond what can be said and therefore cannot be captured in language or does the way in art function as a determinant if its expressive or emotional content is beyond the reach of language?
The nature and identity of the artwork is examined. If an object is created in the imagination; Is it based on a theory of linguistic expression? When we use language, it works to communicate cognitive meaning and artistic functions to communicate emotional meaning.
In the case of deaf visual artists, is their art structured like a language? Language is not only verbal, it can also be sign language and symbols. For a deaf person, symbols and sign language give them meaning and a mental form on which they draw to create their art.
Ideas alone can be works of art; They are in a mental chain of development that could find some way. Ideas are based on language, so through language and symbols we can create art. Concept art is based on ideas; it is made to engage the viewer’s mind rather than their eyes or emotions.
The more you study this topic, the more you realize that you cannot separate art from language. Art is language and language is art.
