Kutlug Ataman
It was strange to read but something like this, about his political activism for women being allowed to wear head coverings in government institutions. read about a similar problem in France in the issue of girls being allowed to wear head scarves. Its odd considering that only a country or two away, not even, women are required to wear head scarves. It was also neat to see how he brought several different types of women together to demonstrates the many real women wear head coverings, wigs or otherwise. he was protesting something that seems, quite frankly, strange, while he himself was born into a family of diplomats. He became an artist the opposite of what was probably expected of him. His medium too was probably more powerful, because the voice or sounds that accompany the moving images of real women who wear wigs for several reasons create a more powerful image than a still one.

Mike Kelley
I found his approach to art rally interesting, especially the tapestry with the stuffed animals, I wonderful like to see it in person. He was a wacky guy and I respect that. He was odd one in that even when he made a great amount of money he was happy in second hand clothes and his father's old shoes. But suited his style too, of things that are forgotten. It was interesting too that he was inspired by Warhol's pop work and struggled to go into less pleasant aspects society and explore darker concepts with the same sort of theme. His death was sad, and the fact that he had a picture of his ex-girlfriend denotes several emotional issues hat he couldn't deal with.

Critique
The critique helped out a lot. It made me think more about the text, somthing I struggled with through out the piece. I was reassured by teh fact that it wasn't totally hated, though I could understand some of the reservations of the design. I might go back and chnage the text, giving it some extensive thought.

Helvetica
You never notice things in the world around you, things like type is one of them. Perosnally type doesn't mean much to to me, but perhaps it will in the future. The film makes a poitn about the form of helvetica and its place in our world. The form is simple and speaks to all, no one things about it or how the text on a product influences them to buy it or not. It'wierd little things that influence us most. Though it seems difficult to imgaine the improtance of a text font in the world. The form is unisveral and applies to all languages and people for its simplicity.

Critique Review
The critique helped me see the flaws I myself had missed in the creation on the Composite piece.I learned that perhaps there should have been more layers trying to even everything out, because the snakes coloring was a bit glaring in comparison to the rest of the piece. The advice was helpful and will be kept in mind for the future.

Volcano Response
The
volcano symbolism was such a simple but powerful metaphor for the changes in
the war. I think that the symbolism was done in such an unusual way that it
stuck me all the more. Landscape symbolism seems unusually, when thinking of landscape
you normally think of a strictly real space, or in some occasions one entirely imaginary.
The use of natural elements to get a point of change and rebirth across struck
a chord in me personally. Volcanoes are not only destruction but a form of revitalizing
the land. The fact that the destruction was inevitable and looming over the
land catches attention, but also the promise of a rebuilt, healthier country
speaks strongly. The color is vibrant and pleasurable to look at, captivating attention.
