my reflections on Monday’s mini-exhibition

I saw a lot of other students’ work at the mini-exhibition on Monday of the first week， I thought the ideas and colours were very beautiful and everyone had their own particular style, I learnt a lot about illustration.

Who do you think is the intended audience? How do you know this? Are there other audiences that the artist could consider?

I think the intended audience should be mainly young people, because I think most young people will like the freedom of colour and expression and they will have their own opinions of what these works are about. About are there other audiences that the artist could consider, yes, but I think the artist should adapt his style to the intended audience in mind, and if children are considered as an audience, perhaps they would use bright colours and avoid overly complex images.

What suggestion(s) do you have for the artist to help reach their stated goals for this semester?

I think the first thing is to spend as much time as possible on painting, whether it’s landscapes or figures, and to keep up the amount of practice you do each day to improve your skills and speed.
The second thing is to know your goal and work towards that, look at other people’s work and try different painting methods and materials, this will help to create your own style.
