Project Evaluations

1.Matt
-Artwork
-I thought this project did a good job of representing the characters and had cool effects. It also represented some of the elements of the story very well, but others were missed.
2.Daryl
-Artwork
-This project showed most of the elements of the book in one concise and literal art piece. The only problem I think is that the size of the laws is smaller then really neccesary.
3.Olivia
-Artwork
-This piece does a good job of showing its point of the irony of the situation where animals become humans.
4.Joel
-Artwork
-Similar to the one above, the artwork shows the main irony of the book of how humans and pigs aren't that different in the end.
5.Galen
-Comic
-The comic shows how the farm goes from being good to bad, showing the main plot of the book in a very well done comic.
6.Brita
-Poem
-I thought this poem was very well done. It shows events from the perspective of the pig's propoganda which really shows the overall plot and theme of the book.
7.Conor
-Artwork
-Conor's artwork shows the themes of the book through the differences with the laws and the portraits which easily allows one to compare the real Russian revolution and the book.
8.Maddie
-Artwork
-This is another project that effectively demonstrates the situation and theme of the book through the comparison of the pigs turning into humans plus the addition of the revolution.
9.Meghann
-Artwork
-This project uses a quote from the book combined with the reader's knowledge of the pig's actual meaning to demonstrate the pigs power over the animals.
10.Jake
-Artwork
-This is another art project that takes a slightly more metaphorical approach to demonstrating the theme of the book. Still, it shows how Napoleon and his dogs rule over the rest of the farm.

My project: The projects showed surprisingly diverse ways of presenting the same theme of the book. Personally I would find it hard to stack them all up, but I would say that there were a few clear good ones. While a few did stand out as particularly good, I wouldn't neccesarily put mine among them. On the flip-side, I wouldn't call one of the worst projects either. Of course, by my art talents that was a pretty amazing piece for me. It took me a while to figure out a few aspects of Gimp as well. I think it turned out alright in the end.

Until we meet again... -Aaron
