Module Six - Blog: Reviewing Peer Responses to Artwork

1. Hyperlink the Blogs you reviewed into your Blog

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?

I easily agreed with most of the images that the artists listed for the elements. I think the artists were able to accurately capture the elements in their photos, and often more than one in their photo. A great example of this is Holly’s image she used for texture. Holly posted an image of a brick wall. This clearly represents texture but also easily represents lines, shapes, pattern, color,  movement, and even more just in one simple picture of a brick wall. This was found in several of their photos where sometimes other elements were even more present than the ones they were highlighting.

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?

There were not any images the same as my own.

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?

In Larry’s blog for project 2 he posted a photograph of an oil painting on canvas by Philip Clarkson Elliot that reminded me of places around Buffalo and made me really admire the work of art. I felt connected to it in the way that it felt like I’d been there, despite the fact that I never have. After seeing it, though, it makes me want to visit that place in Pennsylvania.

5. What do you think about  the process of reading your peers reflection? Do you find this to be a valuable in your learning?

This process was extremely valuable to me because I learned that I often look at and interpret works of art differently than others do. There were many points while I was observing and attempting to understand the paintings that someone else posted and then I read their interpretations and comments and had very different thoughts. It was interesting experiencing how one work of art can invoke such different thoughts in different people who are looking at the same thing.

6. Check your Blog and read comments posted by your Peers. Do you find their comments helpful?

The comment I had on my blog was motivating in that the comment made me feel like I did a decent job in capturing the elements in the first project. The comment had little other detail though.
