After attending both MSA thesis exhibition, I think as a whole I like this show better that the last one. I think my liking grew out of understanding more what each artist was trying to portray and having a grasp on the piece as a whole. My favorite piece was of David Brian Dobbs and his oil paintings. From my own experience with oil painting, I could appreciate the time and talent that went into those three pieces. He combines a dot style technique and oil to create scenes that had a powerful message especially because of the scale.
Another favorite piece of mine was the interactive piece in which you walked through a tunnel in a poncho and had no idea of what was going to happen. The disclaimer on the sign before you walked in led you to believe that something bad was going to happen, even though nothing actually happened, it was a physiological mind game. This was a great way to combine art and another field that made a viewer think in more than just an art standpoint, which I find interesting and innovative.
