Peer Review Fun

Annnnnnnnes Blog


Well I took a look at a couple other peoples blogs and I have to say it was pretty enjoyable!  Normally when I look at art i have a tough time trying to figure out really what the heck is going on.  Not sure if it's my limited experience in the matter or what but this was neat and comprehensible.

Firstly I was able to see how others have done the same things that I did, but in a totally different way!  I could compare my processes to what their processes might have been (although there were not good descriptions on the photos in the Photoshop slideshow of how they came about taking the photo and applying an element)  I think maybe people should look at what they are taking a picture of rather than look for a picture that represents and element....or maybe do both and the outcome would be different...idk if this is clear or not but...I agreed with most of what others had posted but not entirely, I think some of the pictures I maybe had a tough time identifying with the proposed element.

One of my peer reviews did have the same art in it!  Bryanna and I both took a look at the 'Cinema art exhibit and both wondered what was going on in it!  She wondered more about the R while I went I little outlandish with my thinking but we both were curious about it!

I really liked a couple of annnnnnnes pictues of the elements.  I thought they were really creative and I could see what she was thinking when she took them.  I would definitely have seen the same thing and woulda been right on the same page!

Truly I really liked this activity.  As I said before I am kinda having a tough time looking into art for more than what I see physically when I look at it.  In this, I'm able to look and say "okay I was thinking this when I portrayed (or attempted to portray...!!lol ) this element, what were they thinking" and then when I look at their picture I can 'get it'.  Also the knox review was pretty cool too, although again with the abstract art thing I sort of get lost...but it makes it easier when someone on 'my level' tells what they are thinking rather than an art reviewer critique where when I read it I'm all like confused, and my brain is scrambled eggs from the scrambled or fried work at the exhibit.

oh and I think I'm going to be able to clear up a little misconception for someone because I videod the video art and I dont think they watched it all the way through!  Very cool coincidence!
