The Necessity of Feedback

 I have always found providing feedback a somewhat difficult and awkward task. How can I give someone advice? What are my qualifications? In most cases I am just providing advice to my peers, wouldn't feedback from myself be on the same tier as their own work? Although all of these questions come to mind, I believe that feedback, no matter the source, is a valuable resource that improves nearly any piece of work. Even just providing someone with my own perspective and understanding of their work can allow for vast improvements. If someone can use my interpretation of their work to determine whether their point is coming across in the manner they would like it to, then feedback has influenced their work in a positive way. The easiest and most confident way I have found to provide feedback is just that: giving my view of their work. It displays the outcome of their work in a presentable way, while also ensuring that that the feedback is entirely constructive criticism. I think that throughout this semester, seeing as feedback will be provided over comments on the blog, I will attempt to give this feedback in written form, and try to help everyone improve their work.

Analyzing the Post-Modern

  Image: Marilyn Monroe ; Source: Pinterest     In the piece Marilyn Monroe  by Andy Warhol, Post-Modern values are exemplified through the use of color and repetition, which brings about ideas of industrialization.     Warhol's use of color in this piece creates differences in the otherwise identical four pictures of Marilyn Monroe. This creates the idea of uniqueness, but this is not the idea that Warhol desired to display. The opposite, the repetitive nature of the pictures is where Warhol's intentions lie. Each image, differentiated only by color, are meant to represent Warhol's disdain for manufacturing and mass marketing. He hoped to display Monroe as an object through which to represent society's consumerism. Each item manufactured on a large scale, worshipped by society as a unique good, which in this instance devalues the individual worth of Monroe, but on a larger scale devalues the worth of unique or artisan products.     These ideas ar...

Modernism in a Physical Display

Image
  Image: Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum by Frank Lloyd Wright, 1959; Source: Trendir     The above work, the Guggenheim Museum, effectively displays the values of Modernism while appealing to a wider audience, all through design and aesthetic characteristics, which brings about ideas of today's fluid working environment. The Guggenheim's tiered, circular upper portion serves two purposes. The first provides a spiraling interior used to display artwork in a way which allows the audience to flow through the work in a sequence. The second is to emphasize the freedom within Modernism. The building rejects the square-cornered boundaries of the surrounding city, instead focusing on dynamic curves which invite viewers to explore freedom of expression. The museum houses works of art, while it's own exterior is a Modernist work, creating a feeling of interest and artisanship within onlookers. The fluidness of the buildings exterior and the purpose-built interior lead to contemporary...

Enlightenment Movement and Culture

      The Enlightenment was a revolutionary cultural movement which serves as a basis for much of modern science, philosophy and society. It championed reason and renounced the feudalist ways of the past, paving the way for the average citizen in society. Out of the Enlightenment emerged the first glimpses of equality among people.
