The following are the notes I took at this.
- Matthew Richardson
- fine art work - personal
- illustrations - commisioned
- He prefers his personal work to that he is commissioned to do
- Bhushan
- believes there is only conceptual restrictions on commissioned work
- commercial work - conceptual restraints
- personal work - good to limit your media or colour
- with personal work it doesn't matter how the viewer reads it
- with commissioned work it is a failure if the viewer doesn't read it the way you intended
- Rawle
- constraints make you more creative
- Authorstrator
- create their own narrative
- allows you to have the benefits of personal and commissioned work
- Foster
- no difference between personal and commissioned work
- sets himself limits
- doing this is a form of self-improvement
We then discussed our own opinions of these ideas and how we work best. There was a range of different ideas, but we all agreed it is good to things you are not completely comfortable with as you learn your strengths and weaknesses. I said that I think I work better within some restraint as if I work to a really open brief I go off on tangents and tend to lose focus. Overall I found it really interesting hearing other peoples opinions and how they differ from my own.
