  1. I loved during your presentation about how you talked about all of the different political messages Bansky attempted to portray. I never realized how much you can show through art. The fact that I had never heard of him and then to hear that his identity is unknown was super cool to me as well. One thing I think you could benefit from in your next presentation is to include less information on some of your slides as I found myself getting distracted at times reading your information instead of listening.

  2. You guys did a good job. I liked how you portrayed the "rise to fame" of his art from vandalism graffiti into legitimate popular artwork, as well as how he got started, his inspirations, and the detail on stencilling. I knew when I saw the infamous Obama hope picture the significance of this person. I thought it was pretty interesting. One thing you might have been able to do better would be giving a little more detail on him as a person, what his life was like, etc.

  3. I think you guys brought up a lot of interesting points about Banksy, many of which I didn't know. I liked how you covered the importance of him using Stencils to be able to portray his message and not get caught doing it. I think the quote you used stating how he views his stencils as tools makes a very good point to what he's trying to accomplish. One thing I would have liked to hear more of is the effects of his art. You presented a lot of facts on how he's completing his art, but some more information on how people react to it or what situations Banksy is bringing to life could be nice.

  4. I thought it was interesting how much of an impact a "graffiti artist" made on the world. I also thought it was cool how Banksy kept his identity hidden and no one really knew who he was. You guys had a good intro, and had good enthusiasm the whole time. I just think you guys could have used more color in your slides and gone more in depth with your comparison to another person. It was a good presentation overall.

  5. I thought you guys did a good job on showing us a lot of different pieces hes done and the meaning behind them all. Although it sounds like there isnt much known about him, I'm still kind of lost as to who he really was besides a graffiti artist with a message.

  6. Your group had a very enthusiastic presentation and I felt that you guys were interested in Banksy and his work. I do wish that you would have shown a clip or excerpt from "Exit through the Gift Shop", and also more pictures of Banksy's graffiti. I did not know that Banksy still hasn't been identified until your presentation. I also learned some more information about the mystery of Banksy, and he is a person I find very interesting.

  7. I feel like I had heard of Banksy before but never knew that much about him. You were all very into your presentation and i think you guys did a great job at describing the pieces of art. I do think you could have shown more into him though, such as with a good video or something. Also, you did not have a slide for the visionary part so it looked like an after thought.

  8. I had never heard of Bankey before your speech. You did a great job showing his impact on many controversial topics. I find it interesting that he doesn't revel his identity. With technology of today I am surprised people wouldn't know exactly who he is and where he is. The only thing I think would make the presentation better would be to include more of his art and color into the slides. Good job though

  10. I really enjoyed your presentation! It was interesting learning about stenciling and how he grew with his graffiti. I also thought it was really cool how Banksy was able to change graffiti from vandalism to high end art, aka the "Banksy Effect." The only thing that I noticed was that at some points it seems as if one of you did more work than the other two. It might have been better if everyone had an equal number of slides/information to present on. Other than that you guys did really well!

  11. Your presentation was great! I loved that you showed so many pictures and kept the feel of this guy being "mysterious." I didn't know he existed, let alone has been able to keep his identity a secret and still be so influential. The art work that is on the wall that separates Israel and Palestine was my favorite photo and showed his take on politics. The only I wished you had elaborated on was when you mentioned that his stenciling stopped wars, you maybe should have explained how.
