In a similar way, I'd learnt an eeny bit about visual composition at one point, and it's helped me understand how something pretty can be uninteresting and something ugly can be interesting. (Maybe it was more obvious to everyone else, especially with the whole image gen sitch (γΌοΉδΈ))
Oddly it's made me respect internet-ugly MS Paint stuff more. Like this ancient shitpost.
And nature too of course. The way a red sky refracts in cirrus clouds. Ladybugs on leaves. Elk.
All stuff I normally wouldn't have noticed :p
Yup, we tend to take our world for granted, but there's so much to see even in things that normally seem mundane. Learning to stop and appreciate things has been a really eye opening experience for me as well.
