PEER REVIEW

1. Blogs I reviewed: http://jayczuba.blogspot.com/
http://dana-art-yka.blogspot.com/

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?

Jay did a great job establishing the elements and principles in each photo. His choices were creative, and since he shot most of them outside, there was pretty good lighting. Some of the images weren't things we see everyday, so I thought he was pretty creative. Yes, I did see other elements, too. Especially with his "proportion" picture, it used the value principle. Dana's images were good, too. She used color a lot. I particularly like the picture of the beer – I like beer.

3. When looking at Project #2: Were 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?

No there weren't, actually. Dana viewed Monet's exhibit, which I didn't. She used a lot of photos from that exhibit. Jay's choices were very interesting, sort of out of the box pieces of artwork that I really enjoyed.

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! I think Jay's images were very intriguing. I loved the "Voice of Space" image. My connection with them is just how creative and interesting they are. His choices had many different subjects and artistic elements in them.

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 like it! It gives us another set of eyes to compliment and critique our work. I think it is a valuable learning aspect.

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

I do find Gabrianna's comments helpful. She didn't critique my work, but her analysis supported what I was hoping people would understand.

VIDEOS

1. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.

Through the eyes of a sculptor-
 In this video I learned about how every stone has a certain smell. Also I learned how sculptors make measurements and all of the tools they can/will use.
 Glass and ceramics-  I learned about glass and how it is produced, from the chemical makeup to the physical labor.


2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
The videos have the same information as the readings, but the video has visuals of what is actually going on. I like that much better. It tough to imagine how class is made, but seeing it a whole different story.



3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the topics: Sculpture, Installation, and Craft?

I liked the films a lot. They really went into great detail on the how this stuff is made, however, I think the sculpture one went into too much about his life. I would have liked less of that and just focused on his craft.
