Love at First Sight Saga

The benefits and challenges of this project is having to agree on one thing in the group. Also by getting great feedback on both of them.Doris Salcedo means in her quote that you should always capture the memories in life and that is what she did in her art projects.Also it brought back the memories of they stories in her life! -Lindsey curly Frey

The benefits of collaborating on art projects is getting opinions and ideas from others. The challenges of collaborating are having to agree with the group overall even if you do not approve of the idea. Doris Salcedo means in her quote that your art can bring back lost memories. Our project represents this by giving the idea of remembrance of lost love and the happiness of finding new love. - Emili Younkin

The benefits of collaborating with other people in a group project is collecting different ideas and using everyone's talents differently and your partners can always help if you get stuck or need an extra set of hands. Some of the challenges include not being to think or agree on a topic and balancing the amount of work everyone does equally. When Doris Salcedo says that her work is an attempt to rescue a memory I think she means that sometimes when creating we put some of our memories and past emotions into our work and try to recollect that memory. Her other quote I think means that she doesn't completely identify a victim when recreating a tragedy, she represents them by doing something different. I think our work has the people so we're not leaving them anonymously but we did have the heart we drew on that represents his broken heart and his new love that healed him. I think William Kentridge's relates to our work by there's heartbreak but there's also love that can put us back together. -Sara Mitchell
