didn't hate it but i'm not impressed by neither the process nor the end result

[u/highendfive → u/diegoasecas]

Yeah was low key anxious during the process, then the end result was like oh, the arrangement is kind of pretty.. But it's just a mess of colors and lines and shapes - what you'd expect to doodle in school. I guess that's why I'm not an art major.

[u/diegoasecas → u/highendfive]

you would certainly NOT do this in art college

[u/dllimport → u/diegoasecas]

That's not true. There was entire year of foundational instruction at the one I went to that focused on things like texture, pattern, symmetry, color theory, composition, etc. All my classes for that year were filled with projects that you wouldn't make as a real piece but rather as a way to push your understanding of those fundamental ideas. This would have fit right in as one of the texture assignments.

Art minor here, definitely did similar things for texture practice and contemporary art. This is just plain false if I'm doing it at a minor* scale, people are definitely doing it in their major and probably at a higher frequency.*

Edit: minir, feequency

[u/highendfive → u/diegoasecas]

That's a relief haha

[u/LoneStarHome80 → u/diegoasecas]

The whole time I was expecting some amazing technique, where he smudges the whole page, and all those extruded lines flatten out and create a flat image. It never came.

Pack it up guys, diegoasecas is not impressed. No reason to post this anymore.

Do you find happiness going out of your way to be negative?

[u/Anathemare → u/drunkenlullabys]

Just in that sentence alone there is a line triple negative
