Ryan - I really like that you incorporated Warhol's lifestyle and his selling-out and how that was sort of his long-standing performance art piece. I also like the fact that through his screen-printing, Warhol could disguise race and take it out the picture -something that is such a prominent part of politics, celebrities, etc. I like that you're taking interesting angles about Warhol, and not doing a generic thesis on his critic American mass consumerism.
Karen - I can see why you wanted to focus your original thesis on Miro as a person in addition to his artwork. The fact that he tried hard not to be categorized into any art movement, and the transcendental quality of his work is very unique and thought-provoking. Maybe you can explore the nature and themes he depicts in his art work and any sort of trend that may have with his life/background, rather than his intentions?
Sierra - I really like that you really focused your paper on these two paintings, and are analyzing specific details (gaze, hand, etc). I also think it is good that you are tying all of this in to the history and what was going on in Paris at the time - petit bourgeuosis, and contrast the changing idea of passive vs. active beauty and its place in society.
Brianna - Like Meredith mentioned in class, I think a really good and consistent theme through all your works is the female gaze. It is also interesting how you started incorporating mainly fashion ads (vs. gallery art) -both are consumer driven works, but ad's are even more so. You could probably also explore the idea of the female nude in art for consumption and how that has evolved through time.
