Love the geometry of this picture - the way the perspective you've chosen really emphasises the length of the stairs and the verticals (people and fences) break up the lines really well.

Cheers! Always nice to get some proper feedback. I particularly like this one too.

I like getting (and therefore giving) proper feedback. It makes you feel like a weal artist.

In that vein, here's mo'. It fits with your theme very well. I hadn't really thought about the theme, but yeah...these people all have one thing in common; the football. But what about when they start going home? Where and how do they all live? You start to formulate stories for each cluster; much more so than some of the other pictures, I find.

Too late now, but there's a book you might be able to pretensiously quote from if you fancy expanding your final project sometime. It's called "The Crowd", by Gustav Le Bon. It's all about the exploration and manipulation of group psychology.

"The substitution of the unconscious action of crowds for the conscious activity of individuals is one of the principal characteristics of the present age." etc. (in the preface, bitches)

The only problem, despite Le Bon was a psychoanalyst in the Freudian tradition; that book was eventually used by Goebbels for propaganda and rally design, so it might be a bit controversial to use.

Enjoy.

I'll have to look that book up anyway, you never know when that sort of reference may come in handy! Thanks a lot for mentioning it!

Also, I doubt it'll matter if it's controversial. The artistic community tend to thrive on controversy.

'Tis true. Although it's the wrong kind of controversy - it doesn't challenge traditional values; but just identifies one with racist intelligentsia.

The artistic community will probably stick with slinging monkey crap at canvases. It shocks The Man.
