Chelsey's Blog http://artworlding.blogspot.com/2012/09/creative-process.html?showComment=1349385791327#c8515888295111110620 Odalis' Blog http://norales01.blogspot.com/ For Project 1, Elements ans Principles of Design, I feel that Chelsey did a fantastic job of capturing the essence of each element or principle. Specifically, I enjoyed her photos for movement, emphasis, and rhythm the most. For Odalis' project, however, it was very hard for me to determine if I agreed with the photos used for each element, because there were no pictures visible, just a description of each picture. I believe that art is very interconnected, and that certainly one would be able to see more than one element or principle of design in a photograph. This is especially true for Chelsey's work, as her movement and emphasis photos could also show color, her repetition photo could also show texture, her balance photo could show movement, etc. For Project 2, Art Gallery Visit, Chelsey and I had only one picture in common, and Odalis and I had no pictures in common. Chelsey and I both picked Toccata and Fugue by Arman Fernandez because of our love of music. It was also interesting to find that we both felt as though we could still here music through the piece, even though it was silent. It astounded me that all 3 of us could go to an art gallery and only have one picture in common! Chelsey and Odalis took some photos that really piqued my interest. I really enjoyed Chelsey's photos of Braque's La Danse, and Soleil, Tour Aeroplane. For La Danse, I loved the movement of the piece, as well as the shading and balance of it. I wanted to know how Braque captured the dance so beautifully, and why he did it. For Aeroplane, i loved the color and shape of the work, and wanted to know what the medium was and how the artist got the colors to blend together so well. Odalis had a photograph of a bed that had writings all over it in her project that I found really beautiful and mysterious. I wanted to know the story behind it. I thought that looking at my peers work was really beneficial because I was able to compare my amount of work and effort with theirs to see if I was on track. I also enjoyed it because my peers had some very interesting insights and views and comments that helped me to think deeper and analyze further. I also enjoyed reading my peers' thoughts on my work, as they were all very encouraging and gave very sweet, nice praise.
