Peer Review

When looking at Project #1: http://livingwithart-abby.blogspot.com/2014/02/https30.html?showComment=1394332270786#c4353557221143251648

I feel that every image captured the element it was supposed to.  Of coarse the pictures had other elements within them, like the fruit used for color could have been used for shape as well, and the object used for shape could have been used for form. Each picture from all of use probably has other elements and principles of art.

When looking at Project #2: http://bellaviart.blogspot.com/2014/03/project-2-art-gallery-visit-1.html?showComment=1394331989258#c8911368589116470810

There was one image that was the same as mine, which was her first one as well as my first one!We both pretty much chose the image for the same reasons.

Her response: "I really liked this painting a lot. It instantly stuck me, mostly because of the beautiful colors. Then, upon taking a closer look, I was really drawn in by the fact there were some symbols and images I recognized within the mass of shapes. It was definitely interesting me to see the combination of so many different images that had so many different meanings, all layering over each other. This painting is the one that stuck with me the most out of all the works on display currently in the museum." 

My response: "This work makes an impression on me because of the wild nature of it. It reminds me of graffiti and when graffiti layers on top of old graffiti. All graffiti has a story, there is a message. The message I received from this is that symbols and colors are communication within itself. We are surrounded by so many visual stimulants and this includes all of them in one work. I think I feel connected to this one because I am a communications major and I enjoy visual communication."

This image really piqued my interest, I looked at this one for a while when I was visiting the gallery but I did not know what I wanted to write about it. However, I think I feel exactly the same way as my peer. "This image alone was something I was drawn to because it with so interesting looking and also so tragically beautiful, in a way. When I read it was a print I was also instantly interested, since we had just read and talked about print making. I would be interesting to look up how this particular piece was made and for what reasons."

I think it is interesting to read and review peers. I feel like it is a nice way to put things in perspective from another point of view and compare it and contrast it with your own.

SOMEONE POST SOME COMMENTS FOR ME PWEASE! :)
