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?

I enjoyed seeing other student's take on the elements & principles.  It was interesting to see what they used & what was going through their minds when making their slideshows.  I agreed with their representations of each element & principle, as well as seeing other people's creativity.

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?

In Brittney's blog I found that she was also interested in learning more about one of the same pictures I had an interest in learning more about.  It was Untitled (Rage) by Glenn Lingon.  She also found it interesting that the entire thing was actually words, & was able to decipher the 1st line, which I wasn't able to do. 

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?

In Graziella's blog she used a small sculpture that I had seen during my visit to the Albright-Knox.  It was by Ken Price, & was called "Sea of Sin."  The title really does catch my attention, as it did Graziella's & has me wondering what was going through the artist's mind while naming it. 

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

It was pretty cool to read other student's blogs & see their slideshows.  It gave me an alternate perspective on the projects we have done thus far, & gave me the opportunity to see other works of art the may not have grabbed my attention at the time, but did interest others.  It shows that in order to come to the same conclusion, people may take totally different routes.  That's what makes us each so unique as a species. 

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

So far I have no comments, but will edit this posting if & when I do get them.  I'm sure they will be helpful & insightful.

Edit: Yes the comments were helpful.  It made me happy to get someone else's point of view on something I worked so hard on, & to hear their thoughts on my work.
