1.) When looking at Project #1, I agreed with a majority of
the elements or principles that the artists listed with the images. I felt balance and line were the best
representations for the elements and principles for both artists and mine
too. One picture that I thought could
have been represented better was color.
The one artist chose a beautiful flower to represent color, which I
really thought played up its importance.
However the other artist chose to use a series of boat covers that were
either red or black. I felt there were
better and more vivid examples of color that could have been used.
There were some photographs in
which there were more than one element or principal in the photograph. One element that was seen in many of the
photographs was color. For example in
one artist’s representation of emphasis, which showed a picture of a yard with
a white seagull in the left side, color was seen as well. The seagull not only represented emphasis but
also color because the white stood out against the green grass and tree leaves
drawing the viewer’s attention to the bird.
Also for the photograph of pattern shows various shades of red in the
car seats make the car pop out from its surroundings.
2.) When looking at project #2 there were a couple of images
that were the same as my own. These
pieces included Cinema by George
Segal and Anne Arnolds sculpture of Charlotte
and Charlie. The reasons theses images were selected were
also very similar to my reasons. For
example, Charlotte and Charlie interested the student for the
same reason as me. We both wanted to
know what the artists intentions were in creating these pieces, and if there
was a reason that they were placed facing each other for a reason. Cinema
caught both of our attention because it almost looks as if a real man is
standing there about to put up a movie title for us to view. We both agreed that this is likely to have
been created to show the profound impact that cinema has had on our society.
3.) One image that my
peers picked that interests me now is Untitled by Andy Warhol. I most have missed this picture on my visit
to the gallery because I don’t remember seeing it, but it really grabbed my
attention on my peer’s blog. The
emotions that are seen in this picture show hatred and pain, and make me feel
sadness when looking at it. I would like
to know what Andy Warhol’s intention was in printing this photograph taken by
Charles Moore. Was he trying to show the
racist hatred that was occurring in our society at that time? Or is he trying
to remind us never to forget the horrible racist events that occurred in our
nations history?
4.) I felt that the
process of reading my peers reflection was very helpful. I liked seeing their perspectives on the pieces
they viewed at the art gallery that were different and similar to mine because
it helped me to see the pieces of art in a different light. I also liked seeing their examples of the
principles and elements compared to my own because I think it helped me improve
my understanding of these concepts. I
think that some of my examples could have been better thought out after viewing
my peer’s blog postings. Overall, I
think it was a very valuable experience in my learning process.
5.) I found the
comments listed under my blog insightful.
I wish that my peer would have expanded on my elements and principles a
little more giving me some constructive criticism on what I could have represented
better. His positive attitude towards my
perspectives made me feel that I had a good understanding the material that I
have learned so far.
