Module 6 Peer review

These are the two classmates blogs that I chose to peer review:

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 feel that both classmates photographs demonstrated the elements and principles in the correct ways.  It was very interesting seeing the different ways each classmate portrayed each element and principle.  In Brian's (blog 1) photograph for shape I can see a few different ways that shape could be used as I described in my comment to him.  The entire picture demonstrates shape, the top opening of the dome, and the circle (bubbles) on the wall all could demonstrate shape.  I believe this same photograph also could demonstrate texture.

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?

 In Grace's (blog 2) blog we both chose Gustave Courbet's La Source de la Loue as one of our works.  Our reasons for selecting I believe were similar.  We both wondered what was within the cave or what was at the end of the cave.  We both found their to be a bit of mystery to the work.  That was the only work of art that I had in common with either classmate.

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 Brian's images I was actually intrigued by all of them.  In particular though, I shared his wonder about Untitled (Branches over Stream) by Charlotte Spalding Albright.  It is a painting that I wish came with more explanation.  I would just like to know what inspired it or what it means.  

In Grace's images I found them to be interesting also.  In particular was Tauba Auerbach which is an untitled piece.  I love that the canvas looks wrinkled and the effect that has on the paint and color.  It made me wonder how it was created?  Was it made on a piece of unstretched canvas that had purposely been wrinkled then painted and then stretched?  I also wondered what inspired him of creating this piece?  

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 think reading my classmates peer review comments on my work was helpful.  It helped me to feel like I am understanding the material and moving in the right direction.  I do think it is helpful in my learning.  Feedback is always a good thing.

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

 I did find their comments helpful.  I am glad that some of the things I was trying to portray in my elements and principles project were seen by my classmates.  It is nice to receive feedback on projects.
