DEVELOPMENT & FEEDBACK
NOTE TO SELF (a rather long note)
- I roughly have a gist on where I am going with the essays and the visual journal. The peer review session made me reconsider several things and where I could further develop.
- I was told that I have done a good range experimenting and testing, though I think that with a more focused idea, I would still like to explore different image-making methods.
- There were a few aspects that were brought up, such as an illustrator's role in society and what defines 'good' art? Works that I have been looking into varies from strong content/meaningful illustrations (in particular) and the exact opposite, simply work that perhaps could mean nothing but pleases the audience's eyes.
- This actually raises more questions - could people simply make artworks that completely mean nothing? (I think no and yes, to a certain extent), why simple illustration are so appealing to people? (from a previous lecture, we were told that culture and society may have affected the idea of aesthetics, due to the digital and minimal age, e.g. Apple)
- I might need to look more into people's opinions regarding artworks that are functional and meaningful in contrast to aesthetically pleasing works. (the latter doesn't tend to go far, in terms of recognition, development/craft as they follow a common trend. The outcome isn't as engaging and impactful. Though it is still a form of expression, communication.)
- From here, perhaps I should look at how do people define aesthetics? Maybe explore simply visually appealing work and why are people attracted to colour or shapes? (post-internet illustrations?)
