Looking at both projects, I agreed that both students used
the appropriate elements and principles of art listed with the images. Some elements
and principles can overlap, for example in Antoinette’s project her photo that
represents unity, I believe can also represents proportional. However, I still
believed that both did a great job.
Looking at both students’ project #2 works, the pictures
that they used were different than mines. However, Anna had a photo, The Hispanic Project which I was able to
relate too. One of the photos that I have chosen for my project shared a common
theme, which was struggle with identity.
I was able to relate to both Anna and the photo, because I
too, have experienced the changing of my appearances in order to fit in this
new society. My parents are from a small country in West Africa, and they are
not accustomed to the way of living in the Western world. So, they always want
me to stay with my traditional and cultural values. It’s difficult being raised
and born in a country that allows you to dress freely but having parents that
comes from a different world and have their own rules.
The process of reading my peers reflection is valuable,
because I was not only able to connect with them, but also learn because
everyone has their own interpretations of things.
The comments I received on my blog was helpful. It’s a great
learning experience when you hear others’ perspectives. Sometimes we overlook things, and others ideas
can help us identify the work more. For example, one of my peers suggested that
I should have used a different element in one of my pictures, which I never
taught about until she told me. So yes, others’ comments on any project are
beneficial.
