At first, I just viewed the slide show. I definitely had some questions as to which image was linked to which elements or principals. Once I reviewed the list, it made a lot more sense. I saw other elements and principals. I made up my own labels prior to reading the blog. The Ferris wheel looked more like a line piece to me but I also saw the concept of shape in the Ferris wheel image.
Ally's project was very calming to view. The identification between which image represented what was a little difficult to match. The animation goes by very quickly and I wasn't able to figure out which element. I saw texture, contrast, color, pattern, movement, and form very clearly. Texture I saw in the doll figures fur, color in the rock among the forest floor, pattern in the black item that could also be used for texture.
Ally and I had similar images but not the same. We both had question on pieces of art works that looked like they had bee chopped up and rearranged into a new image with the old fragments. Some one commented on my blog saying it gave them a Alice in Wonderland feel. I would have to agree. They cause us all confusion and made us want to understand more. It was as if the images where like a vortex of intriguing confusion pulling our mind in to make ourselves just ask more questions.
Sandra and I didn't have any of the same images, but I do recall all the artworks she posted. I have seen the We The People exhibit many times. Many of them perplexed me, but I didn't take much interest in them except for a few. The massive German artwork of the flowers reminds me of the Pollock painting that made an impact on me. The size of Kiefer's artwork made an impact to, but in a calming way compared to Pollock's intensity.
I really liked the untiled #901. It reeled me in with its bright and intense colors. I liked how Sandra talked about how its not normally something she was drawn to, but its simplicity and cleanness drew her in. I'd have to say the same. I like all sorts of art, modern isn't normally what I would pick first, but it is very hypnotic and calming.
Ally's connection with the bust peaked my interest as well. Her comment about feeling connect because our extremely old ancestor made this artwork. Art is a means of connections cross time and culture and I think this piece drives that concept home.
I enjoyed reading each others blogs. It give us insight on people we only know digitally. By peer reviewing we are learning about them in a creative and artistic manner. We get to learn about each other aesthetic and culture ourselves about other opinions. It has given me new points of view that I didn't see prior to reviewing the blogs.
I don't know if I found the comments on my blog helpful, but it was cool to hear how some people agree or had a different concept. I did like the feedback that I needed to elaborate more. I think I needed to better communicate what I saw with the viewers of my slide show (project 1).
