i found doing my own presentation to be incredibly insightful. I think using only pictures without any words besides the quote were useful because it forced me to think on the spot and thus conceptualize and articulate the material to my class mates in a different way. Thus, not only was i recieving insight from my peers, but listening to my own words proved to be useful. It made me realize what i needed to add to my rough draft to make it more cohesive. The thought about andy warhol as an icon himself will help me as well as the notiuon that the everyday objects that he created became iconic such as the brillo boxes.
I thought that the joan miro presentation was really cool, but a thesis definitely needs to be devised. What is funny to me is that i have seen many miro paintings and never once realized that they were representational in any way. I always just imagined them to be abstract to the point where only feelings were portrayed and not actual figures. However, i learned from the presentation that he was doing surreal depictions of mostly female bodies and stars, skies, and birds. I liked the presentation and the art work but i think something more defining should be said about Miro.
I wish i did not leave early so i could have critiqued the other presentations. Sorry. I'm sure they were great
