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?

 Well, for damisam01's blog, there was no first project. But for lostprofetsun's project, I agreed with most, but not all, of the photos taken. I definitely saw other elements and principles in the images. For example, for Value, I saw it as more of a 'color' photograph rather than a symbol for value.


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?

 Yes, there were images in my peers' blogs that were the same as my own. lostprofetsun also picked The Marvelous Sauce and Springtime. damisam01 and I did not have any works of art in common for this project. We had similar reasons for picking Springtime, but not for The Marvelous Sauce. lostprofetsun picked that work because of it's detail, and I picked it because of my connection of cooking through the piece.


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?

Yes, there were a few pieces that piques my interest. One of them was a painting by Sue Williams, one which the title wasn't given in the blog. I like the colors and the technique used by the artist. Another artwork I am interested in is Ice Cream Being Tasted 1964 by Claes Oldenburg. I like this piece because it's a piece about ice cream! What's not to love?


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 peers reflection on their projects helped me critique their work easier. I found it valuable in my learning because it helped me see what they were seeing and get inside their heads while looking at each subject for a photograph or each painting.


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

I didn't necessarily find them helpful but I enjoyed seeing their positive reactions to my projects. It is encouraging to see that those who have seen my work like it and will help me know what to do for projects that follow.
