1. Hyperlink the Blogs you reviewed into your Blog
The two blogs that I reviewed were Holly’s and Carly’s
2. When looking at Project #1: (Elements and Principles), did you agree with the element or principle the artist listed with the images? Did you see other elements and principles in the images?
For Holly’s Project #1: (Elements and Principles),
I agreed with all of her element and principle photos, I particularly think she did an excellent job with the following photographs, the empty road for balance, the brick wall for texture, and the pine trees for space. I liked how she used the empty road with lights on both side for balance because it almost creates a mirrored image. I liked the brick wall for texture because it is a very interesting pattern of brick and it is definitely something you would just want to grab and touch. And I liked the space between the pine trees because pine trees require space between them to grow properly, which I thought was very unique to use this object for space. For elements and principles in other images, there were a few that could have been used for others such as the stair railing could have been used for lines, but I think she made the correct decisions in her choices.
For Carly’s Project #1: (Elements and Principles),
I agreed with all of her element and principle photos as well, and I think she did a particularly good job with the following photos, the fire hose for emphasis, the staircase for movement, and the cherry in the glass for color. I liked how she used the fire hose for emphasis because a firehose is something that requires a lot of emphasis to let people know where it is in case of a fire. I liked how she used the staircase for movement because even though a staircase isn't something that moves, she has implied that a lot of movement takes place there. And I liked the cherry in the glass for color because the bright red cherry really draws your eye in to that particular object. For elements and principles in other images, there really weren't any photos that could be used for another because Carly did such a great job thinking out appropriate images for each category.
3. When looking at Project #2: Where there any images in the Peer Blogs the same as your own? If yes, what were they? Where the reasons the image was selected the same or different as your own?
For Holly’s Project #2: (Art Gallery Visit),
She seemed to have chose completely different paintings and artworks of the ones that I chose for this assignment.
For Carly’s Project #2: (Art Gallery Visit),
We did have one artwork that we both seemed to be draw to but for similar and different reasons which was, After Leslie Left by Janet Fisher. For the similar reasons we both chose this artwork was that It was so stunning and eye catching with not only the bright colors but the content in the image of glass object and cleaning supplies. For the different reasons we chose this artwork was, mine was to describe the connection between being clean and messy at the same time, while Carly said that the painting described chaos turned beautiful.
4. Where there any images that your Peers selected that pique your interest now? If yes, what are they and what is your connection with them? What would you want to know about them?
For Holly’s Project #2: (Art Gallery Visit),
There were a few images that pique my interest now after looking at them and they are, 100 Cans by Andy Warhol, Kill Yourself by Nancy Dwyer, and La Jeune beonne (The Servant Girl) by Amedeo Modigliani. For 100 Cans, I felt a connection to this painting because it is such an original and outgoing piece that it can describe me in a way because I like to think of my self as an original and an outgoing person. For Kill Yourself, I would like to know why the painter would say such harsh words in a painting, and why would they use such calming colors and bubbles in the background. For La Jeune beonne (The Servant Girl), I would like to know why the girl in the painting was intentionally painted without traditional eyes, and was this an intentional move to say something.
For Carly’s Project #2: (Art Gallery Visit),
There were a few images that pique my interest now after looking at them and they are, Free to Play and Still Life #20. For Free to Play, I felt a connection with this piece because it’s a bright video screen with a casino like game on it which interests me, but the thing that I would like to know is, what the actual meaning behind this piece really is and what it actually is suppose to represent. For Still Life #20, I felt no connection to this piece at all because I overall just don't understand it, while I thought the content of the artwork was intriguing, I would just like to know what the author means by these objects all put together in this work.
5. What do you think about the process of reading your peers reflection? Do you find this to be a valuable in your learning?
I personally like the whole process of reading my peers reflections because it shows how other students do these assignments and it overall makes an online class feel less like an online class because it allows us to finally interact like a traditional class would. I find it to be very valuable in my learning because I can learn from looking at other students artworks to compare to mine and to see if the assignments are being done correctly. Overall I think peer reflection is a useful and important tool in an online art class because it allows us to not only interact with each other but critique each others work as well
6. Check your Blog and read comments posted by your peers. Do you find their comments helpful?
After reading though the comments that were posted by my peers on my blog, I realized that they not only like the work I have produced in this class but it they me know I am doing the assignments correctly. I personally like to get feedback from people to see how I do on things, and the responses I got were very positive and informative, and with these responses I can see what my best work was and what I could improve on for future assignments.
