Peer Blogging Experience

When looking at Project 1 of my peers, I think they did a great job at listing an element or principle to go along with the picture they took. Both Courtney and Ashley took their own pictures of the world around them, while I had went to an art gallery to take pictures of artwork that related to an element or principle. I like how creative both these ladies were in regards to making the connections they did.

Neither of my peer bloggers chose the same artwork as I did, which I liked! I enjoyed seeing what pieces they chose and how it related or didn't relate to them. I noticed that Ashley had a common theme of choosing pieces of art that were all outdoors, while Courtney chose a wide array of different pieces.

I think the biggest piece that piqued my interest was in Courtney's project 2 blog, which was the White Flag piece. This piece relates to me for the obvious reason that I live here in the U.S. and our flag is a very important symbol for our country. The piece was interesting to me because the artist chose to make the outlines of the flag very subtle. The whole piece was white, so this made me wonder why the artist chose to do white and not use any color.

I definitely think that reading our peers reflections was valuable because it made me look at the pieces through their eyes, not only my own. Everyone has different opinions and views on pieces of artwork, in addition to being able to relate to them differently and develop different feelings and emotions on them. I think this concept alone is the coolest thing about art because everyone see's things differently, so I enjoyed reading their thoughts on the pieces of art that they chose.

Unfortunately, I have no comments on my blog and considering the due date of this posting, I cannot wait any longer to see if I receive any to include it in this posting. I do think that reading comments would have been helpful and useful.
