Reviewing Peer Responses of Artwork

1.    Hyperlink the Blogs you reviewed into your Blog

First Blog Review:  aedartem.blogspot.com

Second Blog Review:  123art321.blogspot.com

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?

In both blogs I agreed with the photos the artist took that go along with the elements and principles.  I could tell that both artists took a lot of time planning and thinking about the photos they have taken.  In all photos I agreed with which principles and elements that had connected to their photos.  I of course had seen other elements and principles in the images, it would be impossible not to.  A pattern on a bed sheet can also be texture as it has a soft and fluffy texture, which you can see within the photo.  It would work better as pattern but you can see texture as well.  Seeing only one principle and element within a single photo is nearly impossible. 

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?

After viewing both blogs I was able to see that neither of them had chosen the same pieces I have.  One reason for the difference was that one of the blogs went to a different art gallery than I did being The Museum of European Art.  The other blogger went to Albright Knox Art Gallery; just as I did and I was surprised we didn’t pick the same pieces at all.  Everyone has different interests and it was fun to see what I find interesting and what other people find interesting.  Some photos they took, I wouldn’t have taken but it just gives me an insight that art can mean something personally different for everyone.

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?

I had never gone to the Museum of European Art but after viewing all of the photo's the one blogger had taken, I definitely want to! My favorite piece that they had chosen was "Velvet Sirens Under A Hot Sun", By Tana Christiansen. The piece just screams warmth and with the hot colors of orange, red and yellows it uses. Without even seeing the title you can understand that this piece has to do with the hot sun. Also the use of pink in what looked to be two women definitely stood out to me. I can appreciate this piece, and I feel a connection to this piece with the vibrant colors it uses.  I know if I had seen this piece I would walk right to it as vibrant neon looking colors are something I love.  I would like to know more about this piece as I do not know the meaning.  I am unsure what the two women represent in this piece and I would like to.

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 enjoyed reading my peers reflection.  I think it is not only important to obviously think the way I do but see how other people think while doing the same work I am doing.  It is valuable because I can gain an understanding of different ideas.

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

After checking my own Blog and reading the comments by my peers I found them very helpful.  It made me smile when my peers say that they enjoyed my own work.  The feedback I got back was very positive and encouraging and overall made me feel good about the work I have done.  I enjoyed seeing what other people thought about the decisions I made and how they had agreed with most of them.
