Class Commentary: 08-03-31

Presented: Brandon Boan

Well, first off it would be interesting to say that at least two people I know have taken classes with him in the past. My first experience seeing Brandon was mere minutes before class when I passed him in Architecture's hall. He obviously was not a architecture student, but I wasn't sure where he belonged. It was quite a surprise to see him walk into the class with Malena and it seemed to add up that he would be coming to our class. It was interesting to hear him speak, he was quite good at articulating ideas. Brandon's work was not quite as impressive but still was interesting also. Speaking to Todd Payne, I mentioned Brandon's speaking ability. Todd said that, in his classes that he was in with him, he also was very well spoken but his work was not to the level of his speaking ability. Which brings me to the thought, which is more important: successfully speaking about your work or successful work. Both seem to rely on each other. If I was going to have to say one I would have to say that speaking is more important as a strength. It is harder to have someone promote for you than to have help in the creation of works. In a way you would be directing and supervising which could have it's advantages.
