Answer:

Works of art tend to evoke strong experiences in the viewer. In engaging with a painting or sculpture you sometimes can feel that you are sharing experiences with it: You have the sensation of feeling with it, of empathizing

Step-by-step explanation:

Art is an expression of the human condition and this medium allows and encourages us to experience the emotions and perspectives of other people past and present, including those of the artist who created it, the person/people depicted in the artwork, as well as those of the people you experience and discuss it with.

Creating and sharing arts creates a storytelling experience. When we learn empathy through the act of telling stories, whether through painting, sculpture, or another art medium, it helps us better understand the story. Artists can show empathy as they depict the experience of their subject through their art form.
