The two blogs I chose were of Lydia Merlo at: http://lydiamerlo.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2011-06-17T18%3A22%3A00-07%3A00&max-results=7 and Jessica Marchetti at : http://jmarch7588.blogspot.com/2011/06/channeling-my-inner-artist.html?showComment=1310155465660#c3036671276256351404
For project # 1 it was interesting to see the unique way that each of them found the elements in nature and household items. Each of us had some similarities in our approach to the assignment, yet we each brought something different to the table too.
For project #2, neither of them had the same images as me because I live in Rochester, NY and went to a different museum. However, they both chose “The Marvelous Sauce.” Jessica chose it because it reminded her of growing up in an Italian household. Lydia chose it because she was drawn in by its detail and preciseness.
There was one piece in particular that really piqued my interest. It was “Indefinite Divisibility” from Jessica’s visit to the gallery. I liked this piece because of its striking similarity to “Clocks Melting Clocks” by Salvador Dali. What I would like to know about this painting is why the artist created it, and if they were at all influenced by the work of Dali.
What I did find interesting about reading my peers reflections was more so the differences rather than similarities in their though processes. This was definitely what made this valuable to my learning experience because it gives me a new way to go back and think about some of my own reflections. It’s like being given a new pair of eyes. Reading the comments of my peers was helpful in that t showed me that I was on the right track in my though process, but also that there really was no “wrong” way to go about it.
