Week 6 Peer Review

I posted comments for both Chris Wolf and Monica White's blogs. Both individuals found images that expressed each of the elements and principles of art. Most of the images chosen do include other elements as it is the combination of these elements that are required for masterful art.

I noticed in Monica's first image the view of a rocky beach and an embankment. I made a connection to almost a replicate of the view from my backyard. The hues of blues and murkiness of the water with the rocky beach made me really think this was "too close to home." A few images later and her example for line I saw something I truly recognized, the Toronto skyline. I almost selected the same image(colors, birds flying, clear day) for my example. Small world and amazing recognizable even in a distance learning class!

It seems like that either Chris or someone very close to him enjoys the outdoors and has traveled far from this area. Did the photographer take a ride in that helicopter? I also respected the fact he was involved with the CBP as I have a few friends that are Border Patrol Agents as well.

I think that these blogs are great because people seem to be honest with all of their comments without putting the creator down. I also find that is enjoyable to check out the others work with no sense of judgment in this type of class.  I'm glad that others enjoyed my work by them posting their comments! Each of the images were very special to me and I am glad that someone else was able to enjoy them!
