Vicky, you are doing great. Thanks for contributing! Excellent work!

Wanda – Good variety of patterns used. I like how you use swirls and loops. Left side Third down from dsc_08341 is my favorite. The swirly-loop as waves and curvy line as steady water.

I love your legato drawings. Although, the second one in the first picture is a little interesting because even though there’s a flowing rhythm expressed in the curves, there are dashed lines around it. When I think of dashed lines I think of something that is inconsistent. But the rest of your drawings are very lovely because they seem to be continuously going even beyond the borders you’ve made. There’s a lot of variety to it.

Anna I like the way your staccato is simple and elegant and has a natural flow to it like the music didn’t have a upbeat tempo or a sudden spike in sound

Sorry mines a bit late, had trouble with my scanner.

Vicky I feel that your second legato piece is the most meaningful. It reminds me of a flowing river, however when I first looked at it I thought it was a moving keyboard. Your use of lines and repetition contributed greatly to the movement in your pieces

Yuliya- Your Stacato designs are great they are very edgy, and almost scream out to the viewer. You have a very unique sense of style when you draw, I have noticed. On the other hand your Legato designs remind me of a DNA strand (the first one on the last row) but it is very interesting how your incorporate simple organic shapes with music. Lovely.

Anna: I love that your designs have a natural flow to flow and that it is easy to tell which are Staccato and which are Legato. Great use of your lines and repetition! Great Job

Xuxa, i loved your legato thumbnails. i thought they were very successful because they all have a nice flow. My eyes would just drift away as i focus on them. they had a nice rhythm and there was a lot of versatility. On the other hand i think you could have done a lot better with the staccato by making the lines sharper and shorter, but besides that i think you did a wonderful job =D

Lok (Wanda) I really loved all of your thumbnail images, they are very girly and bubbly but still show examples of Steccato and Legato styles. You incorporated many jagged edges in your Steccato images, and very soft and organic shapes for your legato styles. Your images create a sense of relaxation but also of bubbly fun. Nice work.

[Errol]

Julio both your Staccato and Legato pieces are great and they portray an anxiety feeling as they both build up before they let out a surge of energy.They kind of look like Futuristic and time related.

[Yuliya Bas]

Thanks Ryan! Your thumbnails have a crazy amount of movement. My favorite one is the top middle one because of how of you horizontally reflected the design.

Great work everyone! If you haven’t successfully (refer to my first post to see what I mean) critiqued at least 3 colleagues keep at it.

If you have, please move on to the Lecture and Lab:

@Lisa: Really like your Staccato, the ones in the middle are very interesting! :D Gotta love your style.

[Vicky Marie Carrillo]

Gracias professor! ;D
Lisa: First, Id like to tell ya; I like your legato patterns! To me, they’re exactly what the assignment called for. They’re flowing, repetitive to a certain extent, but not to a point where the pattern is no longer interesting to look at. Plus the ones on the entire top column look like water, its so purdy :D
And I am more partial to legato pieces but your staccato ones look good too! they’re not all sharp and intimidating looking but they’re still a great example of legato. They’re jagged with very little room for flawy lines. They remind me of puzzle pieces :3
