Generated Thick Descriptor (via Chat-GPT 4): Expressionism emphasizes the emotional experience over physical reality, often presenting the world from a distorted, subjective perspective. Visual characteristics include bold colors, exaggerated or distorted forms, and expressive, often dramatic brushwork. To create expressionist art, focus on conveying intense emotion. Capture subjective feelings rather than objective facts, and do not shy away from exaggerating or manipulating visual elements for greater emotional impact.
