Tuesday Lecture

Today's lecture was ok. I liked how we had three speakers throughout the lecture, but I didn't find a lot of what they had to say interesting. I really did like their work though. Especially the artwork that showed the touristy part of an area and then the real part of an area. I think I'm coming to the conclusion that a lot of the really good artist are not as good at public speaking. Which is kind of common even within myself and my classmates, but I think artists by the time they are established and in the art field they should be able to talk more fluently and easly about their own work. I already appreciate the work I saw today, but if I could've understood them more I would've had an even more appreciation for them if I could've understood the explanantion of them more. Also it isn't complelty their (the visiting artists) faults. The mic system isn't the greatest in the hall that we sit in for the lectures. Overall though I really appreciate the lectures. It gives me a chance to realize that what I am aiming for is possible. I haven't yet seen an artist I compelty do look up to but I'm pretty sure I will soon. Finally the artist from the philippeans (spelling?) was the one out of the three that stood out to me. I appreciated him invovled family and personal images into his artwork. That's all for now .
