With emotions, human express it with art.

EXPRESSIONISM

It is a term used to denote the use of distortion and exaggeration for emotional effect



Expressionism is exhibited in many art forms:

-painting

Expressionism is an artistic style in which the artist attempts to depict not objective reality but rather the subjective emotions and responses that objects and events arouse in him.

In this style, we can see that most of the art are done in:

distortion
