Peer Reviews


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.
