Week 4 Blog Reviews:

Whitney: I think Whitney did very well this week. She was able to objectively sum up the painting she chose as well as give a well written opinion and insight into what she believed Kahlo was trying to express. My only criticism would be to include a more descriptive analysis of the painting. She did the objective aspect very well and chose many objects and aspects of the piece to point out, but I was missing a vivid description of the work itself. I wanted to know about the different colors and more about why Whitney believes Kahlo created this piece the way she did. I really enjoyed this week’s post. =)

Victoria: Victoria’s objective description was very impressive. She really was able to break down all the major factors that make up the portrait and discuss those elements in a distinct objective manner. I really enjoyed reading that aspect. I also liked how Victoria connected this particular painting into her own life by saying how sometimes she feels beaten down as well. My only constructive criticism is similar to what I said about Whitney’s post. I was really missing the vivid detail of the work itself. I wanted her to describe the painting so that even if I did not have a picture at the top of the post I could still have good insight into how it looked. I was looking for more of what Victoria had to say about the different elements and her opinion on how those pieces came together to form the whole picture. I didn’t have the guts to choose a painting that intense and controversial so kudos to that aspect as well! Good job this week =)

Nicole: I really enjoyed reading Nicole’s post this week. I think she did an excellent job describing the painting in both an objective and descriptive way. I read about the colors, shapes, and positions of all the factors that made up this piece. She also described how each element could possible relate to real life events that were taking place with the artist. Her ability to connect the two was very impressive. Great job this week! =)
