Peer Blog Review #2: mdillonaed200.blogspot.com/

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 the projects I looked at, both students did an awesome job with naming the correct element or principle with the correct image.  They both put a lot of thought and effort into this project and I thought both sets of images were very creative.  There were a couple images that had more than one element or principle.  I feel like a lot of images have variety in them without even trying just because of the way things are in the world.

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 image was selected the same or different as your own?

There was only one image out of both sets that was one of the same as mine which is the wall drawing.  The reasoning for selecting this image was the same as mine.  We both discussed the incredibility of the image and how much time and effort it took which was amazing.  It was interesting to see what they both wrote about the art that meant something to them and what they wanted to know more about because it was different than mine but I understood their reasoning.

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 really liked the House of Collective Repair by Dennis Maher which was pointed out in one of the blogs I reviewed.  It shows changes in Buffalo and that sparked an interest in me because I have lived here all of my life and something that represents Buffalo is always going to feel like home to me.  I would like to look this up on the Albright Knox website and see what else it has to say about the art and the artist themselves.

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

I found this to be valuable to my learning in this class because it helped me see that I have things in common with my classmates.  This is an online class so you don’t really get to interact with each other and given this opportunity was a good way to do that. 

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

I read the comments and it really meant something to me because the one posted about how much she liked the picture I took for balance in project #1 and then wrote about it in her peer review blog post which I thought was nice!  Their comments were helpful.  I enjoyed this assignment :)
