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? * When reviewing Michael Ushman's blog on project #1 I thought his slide show was very simple and straight to the point. It required no explanation and I was immediately able to understand that each picture represented an element/principle of art. I liked his pictures and thought he made good choices. I agreed that his pictures matched the element/principle. I did notice other elements and principles within the pictures. For example, in his picture on unity had variety in it with the my little pony toys in different shapes and colors.
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? *When reviewing Michael's blog on project #2 there were no images that were the same as mine. I did notice that I passed by one piece of artwork he posted. I seen the "La Toilette" painting by Picasso when I visited the museum. His selections had lots of variety and his explanations he posted about were interesting as well. He and I have the same thoughts about the "La Toilette" painting that we think our society puts too much emphasis on a persons looks.
When reviewing Francesco Cardillo's project #2, I was able to connect with him on his view of Anselm Keifer's artwork. He liked the wall art, while I enjoyed the bigger displays on the upper level called Die Milchstrasse. Francesco did not post about the same images as I did on my visit to the art gallery.
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? *Michael posted a painting by Pablo Picasso entitled La Toilette and while it is a picture of a nude woman looking in the mirror held by another woman, the picture seemed more intriguing than how it looked. I think it reflects societies attitude toward personal appearance and how we depend on our reflection in the mirror to tell us about ourselves and how we should be. I want to know why Picasso chose women in this picture instead of men and what was his inspiration.
In Francesco's blog I thought the picture he described by Edgar Degas about women looking at their reflection in the water as a picture that would be similar to Picasso's. I would like to see this picture and learn more about it. I think he is referring to this picture:
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 the process of reading my peers reflection. It is refreshing to read work from my peers and read about other perspectives. I think it is valuable in my learning because I think your peers are sincere when they critique your work. It is also easier to discuss problems with work with your peers than it is with the teacher. Sometimes students feel slightly intimidated when talking to teachers; peer review can be less stressful.
6. Check your Blog and read comments posted by your Peers. Do you find their comments helpful? *Yes, I found the comments left on my blog very helpful. My peers let me know that I am doing a good job keeping up with the class and assignments. I am happy and proud that they noticed the color schemes I use to try to keep the blog interesting (and my love for color). I think peer review and reflections are beneficial to any student.
