Today was critique day for me on project 2. I was extremely happy that people were pushed to speak more and it makes the class so much more interesting and less awkward when the teacher doesn't have to keep say "OK who else has something to say."
The pieces my group critiques were the trashcan made from cans and the propaganda piece on McDonald's and the hungry.
I enjoyed the trashcans because it was in the form of a trashcan with trash bulging out the top. My group couldn't tell who the piece was directed to because of the environment the cans were sitting in. This piece also made me think of Fight Club and the note on single serving packets where lots of people buy 4 20oz sodas a day instead of just buying a 2 liter. or the same with the fruit cup and chips seen in the piece of work.
My group really talked about this piece a lot and we tried to debate whether the perspective was messing with the piece or not. We also thought that there needed to be something with the text at the bottom because you start at the bottom and work your way up to the McDonald sign and then get stuck there. The message was very powerful however in that it showed ignorance on Americas part and the convenience and availability that probably all Americans take for granted.
One of my favorite pieces today was the wire figure that was multicolored and the shape of the body had lots of curvature. in it
