I thought that Walker had some interesting points in his article. I like the discussion on Barlett's rules, how Barlett had a system of rules, then she would try to find a way to break them. I also liked how they said rules can be derived from really anything a student does, ranging from habits to social order such as taxes.
A problem with this article that they actually state is that students are constrained by school and the classroom for time, and money, which will affect the quality of the artwork. However, i feel that school and class really could inspire students to make art. Inspiration could arise from funny stories in class with other students, or just from learning about subject matter.
First off, I thought that picture in the beginning of the article was pretty funny. With the different things you could cut and paste, it could make it a funny cartoon picture, leading up to a racist portrait. I also liked how artists discussed the painting, "The group of teachers offered an interpretive conclusion about the painting: even with hair picked and adorned with a necktie will never outrun the connotations of the images with which he has been identified." I also thought the interpretation of "Booty Camp" was interesting.
The interpretation of Booty Camp was one problem I found that applies to society today. I feel that there is too much sex in advertising, with women wearing skimpy outfits and such. It almost makes you disregard what the ad is for, musical talent, given it is a little overbearing.
