Senior Seminar: Part 1

The first Senior Seminar was very helpful in preparing for some of the things I may possibly be asked when I reach that point in my art major. One thing prevalent in all of the presentations was being able to explain what is the purpose behind the artists' work and why certain moves were made in their artwork. Everything is questioned, whether it's medium, paper size, or presentation style. Attending this seminar even gave me a few inspirations in what topic I might choose and research to create a body of work about.
