Assessment of Project #1 and #2

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?

I did agree with Molly's portrayal of element and principle in her slide show.  I also thought for time it could be line from the lines in the stairs.  Also in her picture for pattern with the stones, I also thought it could be for color.  I think in most pictures there is one or more elements or principles.

I did agree with the elements and principles of the images.  Once again the photo of repetition could also be color since the circles were different colors.  Many of the pictures could be more than element and principle.

2. Molly and I did not have any similar pictures.  Although i did find a couple of her photos to be very eye catching.  My favorite one was "The Quiet of Dissolution: FireStorm." I feel like it is a very powerful piece. I find the controversy behind the Mayan calendar ending interesting. I think that's why I also feel so impacted by the picture.  The fire spreading over Los Angeles was very powerful.  I would like to know the story behind the artist painting that particular picture.

Dixie and I did not have any similar pictures.  I did find her pictures to be very powerful to look at.  I felt many emotions while looking at her photos.  The photos of racism and prejudice were sad to look at and also angered me.  It angered me to think that these events had taken place in history.  I do think it is important to learn from these mistakes and not let history repeat itself.  I really enjoyed looking at her photos because they are pieces of history and should be known.

I find it very valuable to read people's blogs.  It is nice to read other people's thoughts and criticism on artwork.  I like having another perspective when looking at art because sometimes people catch and look at works differently or in way you never thought of.  That's why I enjoy reading what other people write.  I also liked reading my own comments.  I find them to be very helpful and I liked when people enjoyed my pictures.  I also enjoyed reading their criticism on my pictures.  I enjoyed doing this assignment it was very informative and interesting.
