In my experience art teachers have an immediate, visceral reaction to these types of artstyles and swiftly order anyone trying to replicate them to hang themselves and I don't know if its just my experience or if at some point everyone who studied illustration and gives classes today got together and agreed that detail, black lines and high contrast is cringe and anyone who does it shall be drawn and quartered preferably in front of the whole class

It's a low IQ thing.
Iirc there was an image or post explaining that people who have a negative reaction to black and white drawings or pictures without colors, usually tend to be lower intellectually able, since they cannot discern known shapes in colorless pictures.

My theory is that normies really only see shapes and are incapable of translating line art into actual pictures because it's already way too abstract to them, as if you were witnessing a blurry mess of sketchy random lines.
This is coupled with the deflection that
>real life has no lines
when even through painting, you have to draw imaginary lines by employing ambient occlusion and shadows to give the illusion of a consistent, realistic mass.

It has nothing to do with it being black and white, you mongoloid
>>
>>7993721
I wonder if that's connected to the phenomena of normies frequently struggling to emotionally connect with drawings (comic art, animation, etc), hence the whole push for naturalism and photorealism in CG (animated movies, video games) and the underlying justification behind live-action adaptations.

Last time I checked there's a strong correlation between IQ and empathy, particularly cognitive empathy (theory of mind, understanding why someone is upset), but there's no apparent correlation with affective empathy (something autists have lots of).

I work with autistic children and they tend to have more affective empathy towards other children, as well as animals and objects and fictional characters.

>>
>>7993699
Why don't you find out what qualifications are required for teaching art at the level where you encounter this mindset? Mexico has a large ideological government, so it's entirely plausible that every art teacher has the same education, and their only purpose is to produce more art teachers with the same education, which is what you'll be receiving.

Might have to do with that.
Media that emotionally triggers/appeals to normies usually is extremely shallow and in your face, because the normie doesn't comprehend nuance and needs to be told on top of being shown.
And something that isn't photorealistic might trigger a pure animalistic uncanny valley effect, as in; they are not even aware of their own physical and emotional responses despite being "humans" who should be intellectually more advanced than mere feral animals, hence the low IQ assumption.

The theory of mind is a good point. Even wild animals like crows have that and they're deemed quite smart despite being birds.

I think non-color non-painterly drawings/art trigger the normie's lizard brain in ways we might only speculate, but what we can say that that might really be a sign of low intelligence and lower emotional/instinctual stability.
>>
>>7993801
I'd offer a counterpoint: corporate logos and the corporate art style like alegria

Why are they always shapes?
Because market research found out long ago that people have a way easier response recognizing shapes rather than actual detail.
As for why that is, you can probably make an educated guess it had to do with hunting and trying to recognize fleeting, small or fast prey.
An eye for detail might be a gatherer trait.

>>7993811
Because they're designed to be made in vector shapes by graphic designers who can't draw, you dumb fuck. Literally nobody on the planet thinks it looks good, it took over for the same reason slop is taking over.

Because it's cheap, you stupid fucking nigger, it became "popular" because it was so cheap to produce due to any retard with a mouse being able to crank 20 of them a day that it was literally cheaper than stock photos.
There's nothing unreasonable about being hostile to a worthless opinionated nigger who has no fucking clue what he's talking about, you brown fucking monkey.

>keeps making absolutists statements and insults and completely missing the point
logos and shapes are easily recognizable even by monkeys, hence they're still being used by corporations because they are proven to be easily readable by the masses.
Even kids recognize logos from an early age.

It's really that simple and obvious.
The costs and production are secondary are irrelevant to the current discussion, since if a marketing thing was ineffective; why would they keep using it?

No, you dumb nigger, I literally spelled it out for you: it's cheaper. EVERY fucking mass design choice comes down to cost. Logos and shapes existed before alegria, but weren't used over photos because logos were fucking expensive and photos were cheap. Paintings were used before photos because photos were fucking expensive. Line drawings were used in catalogues and ads well into the 20th century over paintings or photos because printing the latter was fucking expensive.
Fuck off with your retarded nigger headcanon and look at actual historical trends, faggot.

You can go as far as comparing speaking/reading comprehension to drawing to make a point:
You have the typical drawing shapes vs construction.
All people always start with drawing shapes, whereas a higher skilled artist will always build/construct an image, which happens to exactly overlap how most people speak and read:
The great majority of people, by default do not even attempt to construct sentences or dissect/try to understand what others are saying, but merely read a sentence and only react on the vibe i.e. the "shape" of it and speak themselves in shapes and idioms, because it's easy, it is how they learned to speak and they never required or attempted to actually speak properly or write anything beyond what they "feel". It is why the average person gets lost in anything requiring some higher comprehension and usually starts lashing out for no reason.

This is very unironically tied to IQ. Because lower IQ, means less critical thought, means lower impulse control, means higher animalistic/primal behavior.
So you get replies that make absolutely no sense and only showcase the responder's feelings of inferiority, hostility due to having triggered the equivalent of the uncanny valley and the absolute lack of critical thought, since constructed sentenced are almost an alien and abstract concept to them since they cannot identify the "shape" of it, so misunderstandings and emotional kneejerk reactions are their responses, even though they would not need to respond to it in the first place but the lower impulse control makes them go out their way to respond because the "shapes" they hallucinate in a sentence trigger the fight of flight response.

It's also why ragebait is so effective in the modern era, not because of the bait itself but because the average normie having absolutely no impulse control given general intelligence is going down.

Monkeys can learn sign language.

I'll do you one more:
Pornography, no matter how you do it, is entirely and absolutely "shape language" in the eyes of the viewer.
It is why no matter the skill level and execution, it will be liked to some degree, because shapes are THE common denominator and you have billions of years of evolution telling you to look out for specific shapes.
