Constructs her image of "self" according to criteria valued by contemporary society.
Use models for installations, some with natural beauty, some with enhanced beauty.
Seems to support the biases of women.
Appreciation of women obsesses on appearance, but ignores intelligence and accomplishment.
Prefers to exclude her own body from her installations.
She demeans the women in her work and calls them her "girls".
The models have to be totally detached from the audience.
Her installation shows the many stereotypes against woman.
I wonder what the models involved think about her work and what they are being made to do and portray.
Seems like a very controlling person.
Whether she wants a positive or negative view from her work she raise many opinions on how women should be viewed.
Selects models based on similarities (to create multiples).
Calls the group of models an "army" because they follow orders, are fit, and homogeneous.
Exclusivity is big for her work. From who is a model to who was invited to the show.
By inviting certain people she makes sure there's distance between them and the installation.
She was obsessed with high female standards early on.
The image of perfection in the models wilted over the show.
Conforms her pieces to the places she shows them in.
Describes herself as "post feminist".
"I like the freedom to do actions that embarrass society."

Thomas Kinkade
Vision of peace and harmony.
Appeals to the masses.
Mass produced, marketing is amazing.
"Painter of Light"
His subjects have a glow, usually woodsie scenes.
Idealic, peaceful scenes.
He cannot produce enough originals to satisfy the masses.
Lots of different products.
He takes full advantage of his artistic ability to make money.
He is the only painter whose work is traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
He wants his work to give people hope.
People disregard his work as not serious art.
He is very religious and shows that in his artwork.
A little overboard using Christian as the middle name for all four of his daughters.
He stands out from the art community because he appeals to regular people.
No one is shut out from his work, anyone can have it and put it anywhere.
They don't have people in them so anyone can put themselves into the pieces.
There's no danger, no annoyances.
The houses in the neighborhood are kinda of weird and over the top.

Consumption Project
What I am thinking about doing is taking a simple black pair of heels and arranging coins on them. The concept is that people spend so much money on how they look, women and their shoes. There are people in the world that can't afford shoes and they have to walk around barefoot all the time. It really makes me sad to see these people with a million pairs of shoes and then a little kid that has on shoes too small or too big because that's all they can afford.

Consumption
Michael Ray Charles
Deals with race.
I don't really understand why it seems that every black artist we've seen has work that is mainly about being black. I understand that it really is a big deal and all but it just seems like they rely on that too much when other races go outside race.
Michael Barney
Attracted to his own work.
Very different but interesting as well.
He seems to just go all out with his ideas.
"violence is sublimated into form"
Andrea Zittel
bred animals, influenced her work.
containers for animals-containers for humans.
obsessed with perfection but really wanting a better hope for tomorrow.
everything is very organized.
living in confined spaces.
creating intimate, controlled spaces, alone.
human values and perception.
Mel Chin
Special
P
Agricultural
Worms
Neighborhoods
no value-to value.
to create something that will be there after he's gone.
to reclaim an icon from what it is now.
if we are going to make art, it should be liberating.

Personal Critique
If I could go back I would definitely do things a lot different. I think that I thought about it too much and made it more difficult for me to grasp. I think that I didn't do the best that I could but I did learn a lot about how to go about the next project. I do think that I did make the powerpoint flow well and it got my point across. I also have no idea how to put my powerpoint on here.
