Winter Break work



Creative work
Considering your critiques received from your Committee members and me, and the work you have created to this point, I want you to continue to engage in your creative process.  On the first night back we will be showing this work to the group and talk about your ideas overall and specifics: specifics of theme, mediums, scale, installation, what your hoping your viewers will come away with from visiting your solo exhibition. 

In other words, while reflecting on this past semester as a senior, look towards the new one, engage!

The complaint is couched in the familiar terms of a borrowed political critique: Salgado is too busy with the compositional aspects of his pictures—and with finding the “grace” and “beauty” in the twisted form of his anguished subjects. And this beautification of tragedy results in pi
