Background

How could we record emotions more precisely and efficiently? I am currently looking into how people have expressed emotions through different forms of art. I am hoping to identify what elements allowed for an artist to convey the emotions to the spectators. Can there be a novel type of "art" where people can express their emotions better? Can oneself or others re-feel those emotions through this means of art? One key art form I am interested in is picture books for children. This is because they play a role in nurturing people's emotions, allowing children to feel and understand different types of emotions.
