The sculpture Iris, Messenger of the Gods displays excellent three dimensional design. The fact that this 3D art piece is made out of bronze impresses me in itself. To create a statue out of metal is very cool and to create one with such form and detail is even better. The design is interesting in that its base is just one foot and is small compared to the rest of the piece which seems like it shouldn't be able to stand straight yet the metal allows it to. Also, the missing head is a nice to touch to the piece because it leaves a little mystery and curiosity.

The Weight of History 5 Nights exemplifies color scheme. It demonstrates the effect of monochromatic color scheme. Although one could pick out specs and slight shades of other colors, there is an overwhelming blueish tint with a whole lot of unity. The piece does not vary much and is pretty homogenous throughout. This is a very dark shaded piece of art and in my opinion very simple due to the lack of color variation. The Meissen Woodsmen demonstrates several Gestalt principles. It shows qualities of continuation, similarity, closure, and also figure and ground. The most prominent principles of this piece in my opinion are closure and similarity because it is clear there are three figures and that they are similar but it is very broken apart, yet the implied shapes reveal the men. However, the farmland in the background is clearly behind the three figures which is another principle.
