Animal Farm Project Evaulations

Conor Mcavity
Artwork
 I thought his artwork was moderately effective at conveying the points, particularly the modified commandments. On the other hand, it was difficult to tell the pigs apart and the use of X's seemed rather heavy-handed in conveying a message.

Aaron Burress
Artwork

Aaron's use of a continuous cycle and some of the more subtle references he used (Monty Python peasants, for example) gave it a humorous air. The only negative comment I might have is how the image borders look rather badly edited, creating a collage effect.

Leah Dornfeld
Comic

I liked how the comic literally translated the subtext behind the pig's messages and how the art used portrayed the animals effectively without overdoing it. My only criticism is that the text size is a bit difficult to read.

Reagan
Poem

I liked how the poem incorporated all periods of the cycle of Animal Farm and how it ultimately spelled out tyranny. The poem itself had a bit of flow problem at times, but this was not a major problem.

Will and Paul
Comic

The visuals in the comic were very well drawn, but the "shutterstock" label and a very short strip were rather annoying.

Poop. (There's no name on the blog, so I have no idea)
Artwork

There appears to be a Paint drawing of a sideways farmhouse being rained on, but it's kind of difficult to tell, and there's no explanation given anywhere.

Kayla
Artwork

The project was very original in comparing the pyramid of the animal awards vs. the actual classes used. The only complaint I might have is the image size, which is a bit small.

Katie
Artwork

There was a bit more thought put into this Paint drawing, but once again it's really hard to tell what's going on through the picture alone.

Sean
Comic

Sean seemed to have put a lot of effort into making such a long comic strip, and the image and flow is very good. However, the comic doesn't appear to reflect anything more than exactly what the book says.

Ting
Poem

The poem was moderately well done, but there did not seem to be much structure to the poem. The ideas were presented fairly well, but the poem seemed to be almost trying too hard in an attempt to fit everything in without saying much about any particular topic.

I think that I did fairly well with my project. Overall, it appeared that the presented projects were a bit better than the various form of artwork in ability to speak ideas. I think that, given a bit more time, I could have added more to the project or incorporated a few more musical effects, but the idea at its core was good, so the project turned out well. I definitely put in the time and effort; my project took at least three hours, and probably more.
