We beat Eureka College 7-0 today in soccer. As I was walking onto the field for the first half I heard one of their players say, “God, we must have the ugliest jerseys in the nation.” I thought it was interesting how this player was so focused on appearance rather than the game ahead. It made me think about being a visual human being and how each one of us can recognize good art and design.
Growing up, I’ve always been taught that all art is subjective. I wanna suggest its actually more objective than we think. Its easy to tell the difference between good design and bad design. I general, I consider good art to be simply pleasing to look at. True, many works do portray lots of emotions and can tell a story, but at the end of the day if its not truly pleasing to view, whos gunna look at it?
