Which are true of adopting a constraint as a working method?
Hints
- Three describe the mechanism; one promises an outcome no method can.
- A constraint changes what you find, not whether it is good.
Show the answer
- A. It is a way of getting outside one's own preferences
- C. A rule fixed in advance forces solutions taste would not reach
- D. It generates material the artist did not think of first
Why
The fourth overclaims. A constraint changes what you find, not whether what you find is good, it forces you past the solutions your taste would have reached first, and some of what lies beyond them is worse. That is the risk the method is for.
