How is the word 'connotation' used in relation to arts and music?in relation to film ,visual and perfoming arts

We must first define what connotation means. According to my English teachers in middle and high school, they taught me that connotation is the association of one thing with another. In other words, when someone mentions one thing, I immediately thing of something that I can relate it with. So in terms of arts or music, I look or listen at the artist/musician's works and I relate it to moments in my life that relate with their pieces. Often times, if a song I listen to was sad, then I think of sad moments. If I look at a work of art and I feel happy, I recollect a memory that made me happy.
