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?

For this blog I loved all the pictures, the only one I questioned was the emphasis. I couldn't quite tell what the emphasis was supposed to be of. However all the other pictures I agreed with. For many of the pictures there could be other elements within one pictures. For example her picture of the knives she listed as proportion, but I could see it also being used as balance because every other knife is facing in the opposite direction.

For his blog I agreed with all of the photos being correctly used to illustrate the elements and principles. His photo he used for variety could also be used to represent space, the photo used for rhythm could also be used for line, the photo used for lines could also be used for space or balance,  the photo used for shape and emphasis could also be used to show 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?

We both used Jason Pollock's painting, and yes we had the same reasons- (it's size and location in the gallery draw you to it).

We did not use any of the same images for this project.

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 liked the photos she selected of the bubbles by Marika Mori. They are very unique, I am curious to know if they were photos that were taken under water or paintings. The description says photo paintings which sounds intriguing.

The photograph of a girl, taken by Rineke Dijkstra looks like the background is actually a backdrop, I'm wondering fi it is or if it is really the ocean. It's a beautiful photograph, and as he said it does capture the somber essence of Coney Island.

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

Yes this experience is valuable, however also very time consuming. I did enjoy looking at what other people have been doing in this class, it gives the online experience more of a human connection. I especially liked looking at other people's photographs they used for the Elements and Principles projects- photography is probably my favorite form of art- maybe because ti is one that I can actually do. =]

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

I do not have any comments yet, but I am all for constructive feedback, especially since art is not my strong suite.
