Composition and framing are always used in asciiart. Of course, composition is only for large-scale works, and cannot always be done for small asciilet works. That’s what I ask for too Art categories certainly have their own appreciation directions, just like the appreciation of paintings. The interesting point is not all in the composition. On top of the use of light and color, photography has strict requirements on composition. It is determined by the characteristics of this art category itself, as lastwaiting said Small ASCII pictures can’t be said to have composition, but image design is not a bad idea. Image design is also a science, and it is not simpler than photography. The fun point of appreciating asciiart lies largely in the use of words This is something that no other art has in terms of criteria for judging good or bad. There must be a difference As for whether it’s worth it to tire your eyes out? The so-called art, to a certain extent, means "doing what others cannot do" If you can't even strive for perfection, what kind of art can you call it? asciiart is not just about science and engineering students painting Like monicaclover iamppkl although I have no idea about their background But I guess it’s definitely not science and engineering, except architecture.
