Questions

1.When looking at Project # 1 (Elements and Principles), did you agree with the element of principle the artist listed with the images? Did you see other elements and principles in the images?

blog # 1: Yes I do agree with the elements and principles the artist used in her slideshow and I see the elements being used even though the pictures are not labeled. If someone that was not familiar with the elements and principles of art were to see this slideshow, he or she would be confused

blog # 2: Yes I do agree with the elements and principles the artist has used in her slideshow. For one of her pictures (the colored element) with the salt water taffy I've noticed that unity can be another principle. 

2. When looking at Project #2: Where there any images in the Peer Blogs the same as your own? If yes, what were they? Were the reasons the images was selected the same or different as your own?

blog # 1: Yes, I see two pictures that are similar to mines; these pictures are Morgenthau Plan and Mademoiselle Fiogre in the Ballet La Source. The Morgenthau Plan photo had the same reason for being selected; the reason is due to the fact that we were both able to make a connection with it

blog # 2: Yes, I see one picture that is similar to mines and that one is the Morgenthau Plan painting. The reason for picking this picture is very different from my reasoning. The blogger explains that this picture reminds her of growing up in the countryside; I cannot relate to this because I was born and raised in New York City.

3. 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?

There are a few pictures that pique my interest as of now. The first one is Francais Clemtano's Gamma because it looks so plan, yet it is well known. I don't have a connection with this painting, I just would like to know why it is considered to be famous. The second one is Lee Bontecou's Untitles and this is another piece of work that I do not have a connection with, but I would like to know more about it. This piece of work is unique because for canvas and wire to be used is really unique. 

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

In general reading my peers reflections was a good thing because it allowed me to see others ways in which a picture can have particular elements or principles towards it. The only thing that I found valuable from participating in this is a better understanding of what some of the elements and principles are for certain pieces of work.

5. Check your blog and read comments posted by your peers? Do you find their comments helpful?

I have not received any comments on the first two projects prior to posting this blog posting.
