I like how before you began analyzing the painting, you took the time to explain everything just as it’s seen. By pointing everything out, it made me realize there were details I had over looked. I think you did a good job interpreting the painting too. The whole idea of a wedding was a good interpretation and you had some really good observations that tied in nicely. One example was the décor and colors of the background and how that translated into wealth. I enjoy your use of descriptive words like “royal” as well. Good job.

Bad summaries are really hard to read… I think they either had too much information, or skip important details… But I really enjoyed reading your summary because it made sense and you kept it a minimal length without indulging in unnecessary details. While reading it, I felt like I knew exactly what was going on and it even reminded me of a few of the details I had forgotten about after ready the textbook myself.

I completely agree with your interpretation of Self Portrait on the Border between Mexico and the United States. The plugs from machinery vs. the rooted flowers could only say just that. I like how you explained why you chose this portrait and how you thought it related back to her “story” too. It’s a good reminder for those of us who now know her story, and good background information for those who don’t.

As I mentioned in Lauren P.’s review, I think that summaries are fairly often hard to read because they aren’t don’t well… but like her, I think you did a good job writing yours too. You followed the storyline of the article well, and rewrote about the important information with just the right amount of necessary details. Oh, and great title! Loved it!
