Unfortunately, I did not learn much from either of these presentations, especially Art History (Fricke has already said almost everything that was touched on in class). The Creative Writing portion of the symposium focused on poetry and what the speaker's thought were on the subject, but it was hard to concentrate because of its monotony. He basically told us that form and content are what makes up a poem and then gave examples (such as work from Christian Sole) showing us how. My thought about poetry didn't really change at all after this lecture. The Art History presentation just restated that it is important, and that even though we shouldn't dwell entirely in the past, it is important to understand it. I could follow the presentation more because there were visual examples (the sugar and molasses sculptures with stick in my mind for a very long time), but Fricke had already covered most of what they said during class.
