The "Restriction of Choice"  that was explained nearing the end of the first day of class struck me in a way that I thought was a game-changer. On occasion I actually used this subconsciously on certain projects, or while sketching character concepts, but I had never previously applied this idea to my works consciously, and it makes so much sense to me! Working on a smaller level could truly help me develop the holes in my art; design a building, not a city. Design a tree, not a forest. Design a person, not a crowd, and when I make these steps, advance to a higher level and put what I've learned together! Trying to do everything at once without knowledge of how to do anything was pointless. Where in my concept would I begin?

I have yet to actually put this into action of course, but it seemed to click in my mind. Have I found a new method with which to work on my personal projects? Only time will tell, I suppose. I'm aware that there's more to the artistic process than simply limiting your options, but I believe I could be taking my first step to breaking a barrier.
