Bringin this shiz together

When you think about, everything that McCloud says in the final chapter is obvious and is no huge revelation, but this doesn't mean it isn't true or important. Yes, of course we are all restricted to our own body and thoughts and feelings, and all media is just a way for us to try and communicate to each other and help other people to understand our view. I think it is one of the most important tools for a developing human being. It is how we are able to create our own identity. to take in all these different viewpoints, and decide for ourselves which ones we want to agree with and which to disagree and therefore create our own thoughts, themes and values.

I also agree when McCloud goes on to talk about comics being made of endless possibilities. I think this is also obvious when you think about it. Of course the possibilities are endless, because the human imagination is endless. We are only limited by our own imagination, not by some rules created by a certain medium. And I think all art is like this. Art in general has no restrictions past our own ability and imagination. Art is not restricted by rules or genres, colours or black and white, themes or ideals, or even different mediums. Comics along with every other form of media communication has every type of visual iconography at its disposal, and therefore...the possibilities are endless!

I have studied and gone to these depths of media communication before. You do learn a lot from studying things at a deep level, when you are able to understand the concept and actually take time to think about it. It is like taking a piece of art a trying to figure out every little detail of it, and why the artist did this and why they did that. This can be fulfilling in one way, but some times I just like to sit back and enjoy what I can see or hear or smell and in turn how it makes me feel, and not worry about the deep meaning behind it. Because really, in the end, isn't that what art is really about? Making something that people (most) are going to enjoy? I like to think so.
