"When we view visual art are our emotions influenced more by the lines or subject of the painting or by the colors used? Or, if you prefer music, are they influenced more by the pitch or the rhythm?"
"Being a musician I find the second part of this question rather easy. Emotions are influenced by pitch, rhythm, tempo, and volume in equal amounts, they simply have a different effect on the emotion. Pitch, or rather combinations of pitches, define the mood, IE: happiness, sadness, whistfulness, you name it. Rhythm, and tempo define the urgency, and sometimes in conjunction with volume, intensity of the emotion. I have clarified music's component's effects on emotion, would anyone care to do so with painting's components? Brush stroke weight, color, lines/shapes, styles of stroke, type of paint, to name just a few."
