The Good the Bad and the Stupid (part 2)

When I made this post I found it hard to describe what I meant by judging work from one piece to the next. But this time I thought that I would revisit this and try to elaborate on it a Little more.

When I made a piece of art work either on the computer or in my sketch book even with my 3D models, I would just naturally try to compare it to something that I made previously and see how I had improved.
But with this it is easy to fall into the trap....!

You see you might start to beleive that because you have improved that this makes the piece of art work good. This might not be the case at all and in fact the piece you have just done is sill bad.
This is my example of just being stupid and a little bit unwise in my judgements.

A smart way to stay clear of this trap, that you can fall into so easily, is to try and judge yourself next to someone or something that is concindered good.

Which is why so continuosly we are told to look at excisting objects or places.
"Always draw from life" the never ending echoes of chris.
Although it pains me to say it, he is so right and yet why do we all stay stupid and ignorant?

I think that it is easy that way and people can get lazy.
Although people are suposed to stand on there own two feet and research, make the effort themselves so to speak. Sometimes we all just need a big kick up the arse to keep us from slipping off the short and narrow.

OK! I hold my hand up im really talking about myself needing a kick up the rear but thats only because my mind drifts uncontrollably into a world of its own and then before you know it I have lost my interest and all of my time to do it.

I believe that as for doing projects that maybe we as a class were getting more out of shorter projects of only a few weeks and not whole terms.
But I do realise that it was a necessary time scale for a project of this size.

The summary of it is, we do better at short projects because it teaches us to make more decisions and not fluff around trying to decide on what to do because you just dont have the time.

So what makes it good? I think that maybe it has something to do with doing everything that is asked and getting it right but also being creative with that. Doing something that makes it unique to you and can make something more interesting to the eye.

with that I think I will leave it.
Till next time cya!
