It's hard to actually choose the "strongest" piece presented on Thursday. I was bummed because I missed the first like 3 or 5 minutes so I only came half-way through Johnson's piece, when I really would have liked to see the whole thing, especially since he told me on Tuesday that his relates to my piece. Oh well. So, I'm going to choose Montana's piece. First of all, I really like his name, Montana Dylanger. (This is just a side note). So, for real, I really like Montana's drawing! It's very much cartoon-esque, which would normally has a jolly, light-hearted feel. But it's so cool because it does look like a cartoon but it is creepy as fuck!!! Not even is just the drawing super creepy, but the way he displayed it on the light box (with the overhead lights off) really like up the image in an even more eery way. Additionally, the rose petals and pills on the light box really emphasized the work, mainly the rose petals. The execute was perfect. I love that he did it on wood and used stain rather than pain to achieve the colors in his image.
It's just as hard to choose the "weakest" piece. I'm going to go ahead with Skylar's Minecraft piece. For me, being technologically retarded and video game anti-, this piece did nothing for me. I had no clue we were even looking at a portrait at all! I didn't see it or even know what was going on until Desiree said that there was a portrait! And I don't understand why some other dude was playing the game instead of Skylar...? The only part that I get is intense is that he deleted the thing he built afterward, and for a video-game-aholic I can see how this would be a big step. But for me, I don't understand because I feel that by deciding to do this for his project, he was just giving himself an excuse to play even more video games...or computer games, I suppose. And was the portrait of the girl he likes? I don't get that either...what's his confession? The girl? Or that he plays a ludicrous amount of video games? computer games, sorry.
