Module #6 Review of Blog Postings

Below are the two blogs I reviewed:

I did agree with the elements and principles that I reviewed in the blogs of my peers. I definitely saw some familiar images from what my slideshow included and also saw some great ideas that I would not have thought of. The picture used for movement in slideshow one made me stop and look at it for a bit longer to really see the idea of movement, but I do think that I saw it. Water was a much more literal example and one that I used and saw in slideshow 2. I noticed that in the photo for line there was also a great example of light. This photo probably could have been used for either element.
There was one image  that I found in common with the peer blogs I read(This is not a Fountain") Yes, the reasons that my peer and I chose this image were slightly different but we both agreed that this was an interesting piece of work that was made with a good intention. I believe this was he only image that I had in common with either blogger, however, I did recognize all of their pieces from my own visit and enjoyed seeing what other classmates chose and connected with especially.
The Liquor Sign from Harlem that was restored now interests me more. I would like to visit the gallery again in order to spend more time viewing it in person. During my first visit I passed by it rather quickly....so quickly that I did not notice the word SOUL standing out among the other letters in red. If I were to return I would also like to study the molds of the hands more closely as well and take time to read more about the meaning of this piece.
I really liked reading the reviews of my peers. I enjoyed the different perspectives and I appreciated that one of the blogs that I read was of a more experienced art student but that the other was more like me. I think that both types of students can contribute a lot. I wonder if the art majors enjoy reading the viewpoints of people who have little or no experience with art and may have only this as exposure. 
I have no comments yet! Hoping to have some soon.
