The presentations were very fun for me, more as a viewer than a presenter. In my opinion, I love hearing others peoples ideas and adding to them. My mind has a habit of being pulled under by my creative side. So, my favorite part of the presentations was thinking the "What if's" through with other peoples projects. At the same time, the presentations in general really allowed me to open my mind about what I personally wanted to achieve in my project. I feel my metaphor needed work, and after hearing students have an inability to fully connect their ideas with the outside and the inside of the building, I decided I wanted my whole building to truly embody what Andy Warhol is. My metaphor is now a mere personification of the walls of what I hope to build. I want the outside of my building to represent Andy Warhol's appearance - intimidating, quirky, out of the ordinary. But I want the inside to portray the amount of color and creativity that filled Andy Warhol's whole outlook. I want the contents of the building to reflect the contents of Andy's mind. And I also hope to hit people straight in the face, so to speak, with what I accomplish. I personally feel that is the path Andy Warhol's life followed. He looked intimidating and could make people feel wary about venturing closer, but one you allowed yourself to hear what he had to say, Andy Warhol said it willingly, and the ideas and genius of the man were enough to leave you speechless.
