Many of the artworks discussed in the presentation were pieces I had learned about in a lot of detail in AP Art History in high school, so finding out more about them in terms of their trajectory in art practice was really interesting.

California is one of the leading states in the production and exporting of agriculture products due to our vast and wide scale of geological environments, but ...
