2. Were there any images in the Peer Blogs the same as your own? If yes, what were they? Were the reasons the image was selected the same or different as your own?
In Christine's blog, she also chose 'The Yellow Christ' painting. We both said we chose it because we felt a connection with it. My connection was simply because it is such a prominent painting in art history, seen in books. She felt a connection with it simply because it was a representation of Jesus Christ and his followers, as she is a follower of Jesus.

3. Were there any images that your Peers selected that pique your interest now? If yes, what are they and what is your connection with them? What would you want to know about them?
There was one which I considered choosing for my own post, for similar reasons. Christine chose the Still Life #2 by Tom Wesselman, which I also enjoy, but don't fully understand. The connection of the sink, cabinet, food, and the fact that their is one of Mondrian's paintings thrown in there is confusing to me, and to Christine as well. Why incorporate another artists painting? Why the different elements, different rooms?

4. What do you think about the process of reading your peers reflection? Do you find this to be a valuable in your learning?
I like the process of peer review. I think it is helpful to hear other people's feedback. If they agree it is assurance that I am looking at it objectively and getting a good idea of the artwork, and if they disagree it is an opportunity to tell me what they see, or how they perceive it.

5. Check your Blog and read comments posted by your peers. Do you find their comments helpful?
I don't think it is helpful as much as it is just reassuring. The comments I received so far just state that I did well on my value scale and color wheel, which I appreciate hearing, and that I had good reasoning behind my choices from the art gallery. One comment stated that they had questioned the meaning behind the Numbers in Color painting as well. It is good to hear that other people are on the same page!
