Ryan: I really enjoyed your presentation about Andy Warhol, although I don't personally like him very much. After listening to the reasons behind his works, though, how he's trying to make a statement about mass production and consumption and the irony behind his Che and Mao pieces, it's difficult not to have some appreciation for his work. I found it really ironic that he's making what seems to be a critical statement about these things, yet he himself falls into the trap. You should really go into that in your paper...it's an interesting point.
Sierra: I thought your presentation was very well organized, which means your paper will probably be well-structured. You gave a very thorough compare/contrast between the two pieces, and it's always interesting to learn about how artists can spark controversy and then change society's view of things.
Brianna: I really liked how you used lots of different sources and genres to prove your point. The advertisements were outrageous to me. You had some great examples of objectification--the whole idea of the cutting off the women's heads from the photographs to put emphasis on sexual body parts in ads catered toward men.
