Presentations from April 30

Ryan: your topic was really interesting, I like the fact that your research with Andy Warhol's art revolve around the positive aspect of consumerism. I think your coca cola example was nice, how it is an item consumed by the poor and the rich.

Karen: In you presentation, you presented some very abstract art. I think Miro's paintings are difficult to understand, besides its themes of nature and women and stars. I thinks it's interesting how Miro uses such abstract and unconventional art to portray these simple nature-ish things.

Sierra: What were some of the publics' reaction to Manet's "Olympia"? You mentioned a lot of good points in your presentation, and made some good analyzes of the two paintings. You mention that his art was like changing the genre of nude art by revealing actually life situations, does his works also spans being just nude art?

Brianna: You covered a lot during your presentations. I thought it was interesting how you covered the change through time of how female nudity is used and portrayed by the public. I was wondering if you would be covering why there are these changes and its influences.
