Timaj: Monet’s Sunrise is one of my favorite paintings. Your discussion of impressionism and the techniques related is really interesting. Your mentioned that impressionist artists tried to paint the “air that surrounds”. I am curious about what exactly is the air that surrounds?
Brittany: I like your analysis of the surrealist paintings and what each figure symbolized. I didn’t quite understand how Sigmund Freud’s ideas are related to these paintings though. How is the “expression of the subconscious” related to the “dreams”? What exactly is the “lengthy narrative” involved in dreaming?
Jazzmin: Your presentation was very well structured. I liked how you gave a definition of grafitti art, talked about its variety and gave a history on it. The theme of the need for rebellion while having the fear of being condemned is very interesting.
Phyllis: Oldenburg and Van Bruggen’s sculptures are really fascinating. I’ve seen the bow and arrow sculpture from the Bay bridge for many times now but I never knew that it was a sculpture by Oldenburg. I am interested to find out, other than the scale, why did the artist chose these specific objects like lipstick, light switches, clothespin, shuttlecock and etc?
Sara: The various painting you showed of the mother figure of the mixed race population. The detailed comparison between Our Lady and Virgin Mary was really interesting too. Maybe you would like to explain the significance of each of the changed symbol too. I like how the feminist artist’s defend herself against the accusation towards her work also.
