I read a lot of art related books based on art history, art that made movements and icons through art and time and I have done for many years now, doing so I gained a understanding about art through time and some methods that artists use. This to me is more academic learning.. Nothing that helps my practice has such. After reading the five page hand out I was suprised at the reaction I gave to it! Iv learnt lots from this little hand out that made me see things completely different! The four main elements is what grabbed me the most, it made me think how much this could change my work.
It made me question my work that I had recently created. I looked through my body of work and noticed that, there isn't room for improvement but now it's not finished! This hand out has changed the way I look at illustration and art pieces. Make me release how maybe iv been a tad quick with my methods and missing out the most important parts such as experimenting with composition, or not doing enough of it anyway.
Iv always had an understand about depth and tone, so the points and lines is a new trick for me. This will help my progression in my studio practice and my commission work loads.
Before I even read about the points I looked at the image of the soldier and my eyes did look at the large centre piece and eventually glanced across the gun and towards the foreground action! And then reading afterwords that is the hole purpose of points amazed me.
Rather strange of how excited it got me after reading the hand out.
