Chapters 3 and 4 of our comics book taught me more about how to think of art differently. It is a very philosophical book that introduces many basic philosophy principles with relation to art. The concept of closure is something humans all naturally do on a subconscious level. Since our senses fragment the world and we can never experience everything, we often finish images or scenes mentally. Like in the viewing of a photograph, if a part of a human is cropped out we still assume the part was there and can even envision in what position it is in. This process helps humans to construct a fluid reality.Artists can use transitions, crops etc to engage the viewer in mentally finishing or assuming an end to a piece of art and it may differ from person to person. This is an interesting thing to consider and another element for manipulation in art. I plan on trying to use this in some way even if it's not finishing a sentence and seeing what another person says in order to finish it. That reveals something about people.
The other idea presented dealt with the direction and perception of action through art sequences. Size, direction and framing of a scene can affect the weight and meaning a reader gives it. An artist should direct theviewer's attention in order to get their intended meaning or purpose across.
