How to use "Portraying" in context?
Art, whether it be painting, sculpture, or filmmaking, traditionally portrays the world around us. From the artist's point of view, this often requires interpretation and imagination. Through their work, artists can communicate nuances of the human experience that cannot be expressed through words alone. In order to portray someone or something convincingly, artists must be familiar with the anatomy and physiology of the human body, as well as the culture and customs of the people or place they're portraying.
As the medium of cinema develops, so too does our ability to portray the human experience in a way that is both visually striking and emotionally resonant.
