Great Topic! The presentation of Andy Warhol was extremely interesting! I enjoyed the portion on Warhol's commodification of celebrities, it was very insightful and I hope that this research paper dives more into the subject. It was also ironic how communist political figures such as Che were being commodified, although their focal purpose in life was to fight against the act of consumerism. I expect this research paper to be well structured for the presentation was very cohesive and informative. A personal question of mine would be, it appears that Warhol generally uses the same silk screening method for his art works, thus why was the public so responsive to his art if it was somewhat monotonous throughout his years?

The Joan Miro presentation appears to have great potential to be a good research paper. The topic was interesting however the thesis was a bit ambiguous, appeared to be a biographical presentation. The fact that Miro painted women as monsters was intriguing to me, and perhaps the research paper should explain that in much more detail.

Olympia Edward Mant Presentation was wonderful. The thesis was well structured and concise. I enjoyed the dissection of both paintings and the detail explanation of what each symbol meant.
