PEER REVIEWING

BLOGS I REVIEWED:
BLOG 1
BLOG 2


For the first project  I really enjoyed looking at my peers work! I thought their photographs were very creative. I do believe the portrayed the elements in the correct way. What I really enjoyed about this project is that it gave me a chance to see the elements used in a different way other then my own.

Reviewing the second project on the Albright Knox was a little more difficult, and a lot less fun! I'd rather get a chance to see someone's artwork rather then read their thoughts on other people's art. None of our works were the same, but I was glad! it gave me a chance to see other works that are at our local gallery and made me eager to go back to the museum and check out some of the works my peers cited.

I really liked Big Pysho 8 that was cited by Matthew from Blog 2. I thought the sculpture was really interesting and it made me want to know more about it! Erwin Wurm is an Austrian born artists who is known for Since the late 1980s he has developed an ongoing series of "One Minute Sculptures" in which he poses himself or his models in unexpected relationships with everyday objects close at hand, prompting the viewer to question the very definition of sculpture. He seeks to use the "shortest path" in creating a sculpture—a clear and fast, sometimes humorous, form of expression. I thought that it was interesting that he wants sculpture to be humorous because that is the first thing I did when i saw a picture of "Big Pyscho 8": LAUGHED!

I can't necessarily say that reading my peer's blogs increased my knowledge, but I did find it fun and interesting. It is also fun to see how other people interpret the same assignments and projects. Everyone's minds work differently and it is a positive approach to learning to try and understand everyone style. I don't know if I added to my knowledge about these specific projects, but  certainly was able to understand the subject better. My peer's slideshows provided me more options and example to help better clarify the certain elements and principles.

 I have not gotten any comments on my blog yet because my blog was not listed on the shared document but I added my blog myself in hopes that people will use it for this specific blog! I think if my peers do comment on my project I'll find it interesting and I'll consider their insight as helpful. I think that peer editing is very useful and use it all the time in my concentration. Maybe next time you do the elements and principles project you could do this blog before the students hand in the final copies of our project so that they can edit their project based on peer comments.
