Superficially you could think it's similar but there are differences. For example the term 'Quantifying' is used a lot in maths and science where absolute values are measured. My personal perception of quantifying something is to measure to absolute values. Using "Understanding Artwork"and we are talking about theories,…
If the topic of the lecture was to define the correct criteria for choosing suitable concepts/illustrations to use as a basis for creating environment art I would be less critical. But the title of the talk is 'Quantifying Beauty in Representative Art' rather than 'Effectively Choosing and Understanding Inspirational…
Phew, thanks for the write up Rogelio! I in no way disagree that everyone's taste for sublime is different. In fact this subject is extremely difficult to discuss exactly for that matter. Although it is very interesting seeing everyone's different take on it. It's amazing seeing how drastically we differ even in the…
hey there folks, just have a few minutes and can't really reply properly, but here's something I've been thinking about on the whole Leader vs. Tsang issue. One thing I felt I noticed so far is that environment artists were more capable of seeing what I mean here. And my environment art brain at the time might be to blame…
I was curious because of the "controversy," and I loved the talk. I found the ideas discussed very fascinating, and a lot of them rang true to me. The only thing I had an issue with was the idea that quality of execution is just a subtractive element of the piece of art. That it cannot make a piece of art beautiful, but it…
Polymiron, ha, I guess I'll take it as a compliment! :D I hope the full video has something else useful in it though ;) Oh, no worries Ray, I don't believe there's such a thing as overly critical ;) And yep I find extremely interesting too. Tbh, I sort of echoed marks question. I think the way most learners(and even a lot…
there are many ways of executing an idea. but idea can and usually be vague, incomplete or undecided just like any concept or art direction. so it is the job of the artist to execute it properly, and that requires knowing all the things you mention. it requires that the artist apply their own art direction and all the art…
You're very kind MrHobo. Qualified or not I just want the argument to stand on it's own feet. Some people will find a way to benefit from this greatly, others will disregard it completely even before watching. That's life :) I am indeed no Feng, aleksdigital :). Sorry I put some slides that actually required context,…
Before I say anything, I will say that I did watch all of your talk, but I did not read every comment in this thread. Additionally I don't know that I'd consider myself ever to have produced "beautiful" work, I'm just sharing my thoughts. I'm really not sure how I felt about the talk. Honestly the first thing that came to…
Hey Mark, sorry I should have given more context, it's in relation to developing as an artist. Not evaluating while you create does not develop your artistic judgement on aesthetics. Self-reflection and specifically following accurately concept art is definitely important as you learn how to do it and you improve your…
