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?
While looking at one of my peers project number one on the elements and principles I really enjoyed her slideshow. The pictures she chose to illustrate her elements were very different than what I would of thought to choose to display. In her image for balance she chose lamp shades that were in different tones of color and I found that this image also portrays another element of color as well.

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?
While looking at one of my peer’s blog posting for project number two, I noticed that she had posted many of same pictures as me. One of them in particular was the painting called “Carnival” created by Joan Miro. Her reason for posting that picture was because it reminded her of her own life very crazy and out there. I on the other hand chose this picture because of it design and pattern. However, I could agree that the picture does also remind me of my hectic life at times.

4. Where there any images that you’re 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?
One image that one of my peers selected from project number two was called “Red Painting” created by Joseph Marioni. The painting was just red and it made me interested in this work of art because I felt like it had a story however I have no idea what the story would be.  While looking at another one of my peers blogs I found another painting that caught my eye this painting was called “100 Cans” created by Andy Warhol. This painting was just can lined across together. I found it interesting cause like the other painting I want to know its sorry behind it what about the cans why did the artist choose to display this.

5. What do you think about the process of reading your peers reflection? Do you find this to be a valuable in your learning?
For me the process of reading through my peer’s reflections in their blog was pretty fun and interesting. For me it was a good experience because I got see what my peers were up too and what their interest were throughout the process of these assignments.

6. Check your Blog and read comments posted by your Peers. Do you find their comments helpful?
Whether or not my peers chose to look at my page I would always find it very helpful to hear what my peers liked or disliked about my reflections in my blog. Either way I fin d it helpful to learn what my weaknesses are and what I should improve on.
