In this lesson we're going to look at technicalities versus emotional impact.

Now right off the bat, emotional impact; that is a piece that has a lot of emotion to it, has a mood, it

has a story, and it has feeling- a piece with these emotional elements will always win out over a piece

that is more technically correct, but lacking in these emotional elements. You know technicalities often

occur,

for example when someone critiques your work, or you've seen work being critiqued, where someone will

say "Hey, that arm is drawn incorrectly, or that head is on skew," or something like that.

However, if the piece has enough of an emotive element to it, enough feeling in it,

lot of the time this causes a blindness in the viewer so to speak, perhaps even a willing blindness,

that they're willing to disregard the technical incorrectness, just because of the joy that they're feeling, or

the emotive or the emotions that they're feeling from that particular piece.

Right.

The feelings that they're getting from the piece.

Now that's not to say that we should abandon all technical rules and things like, that but rather that

by understanding how weighty the emotive elements of a piece are, that we can use this knowledge to leverage

it in a very similar way to the way that poets leverage poetic license, right, where they're making up

words and things that don't exist.

The words are not technically correct, yet the poets use it in such a way that it really just adds to

the poem,

and you know we don't really look at people and go "Wow look at this fool making up these random words,

you know, this doesn't exist, is this guy educated?"

No we go, "Wow, that's a pretty cool made up word.

That's awesome."

So we kind of want to leverage the emotional impact of our pieces and of course definitely to instil

as much story, feeling, and emotion in our work as possible, therefore sort of freeing us in some respects

to not being so hard on ourselves about the technical aspects of a particular piece.

So, the last thing that I want to say as well is, that what you're going to find as we discuss this later

on that this relates a lot to believability and realism, and the difference between these two things,

and which one is more important in an artwork.

So let's go to the next lesson.
