 * COLOR: Monochromatic**


 * This painting done in watercolors by Die Nacht Der Hochzeit exemplifies a use of the color system, monochromatic. A monochromatic color system is a color scheme that only uses one color often with a variation of tints and shades of that color. A monochromatic art piece is easy to manage, it always looks unified and balanced, yet it sometimes can lack contrast and can be not very vibrant. In Hockzeit's watercolor painting the artist uses different tints and shades of violet to create a very dark and mysterious aspect for the piece. I like the way the artists uses darker bolder shades in the front of the piece but used lighter tints in the background.**



GESTALT PRINCIPLES: Figure Ground
Gestalt Principles give pieces of art to a unified whole look/ feel to them. Hamish Fulton's painting of Moonrise Kent England ,30 September 1985 very so uses the Gestalt Principle Figure-Ground. The principle figure ground is used to make the eye of a viewer differentiate an object from its surrounding area. Often times a silhouette or shape is formed with the surrounding area. Fulton's painting of the Moonrise uses figure ground because the background of a pitch black sky enhances the brightness of the pure white moon in the center of the piece. This contrast in the moon and its background brings much attention to the moon and even creates questioning from the viewer on why the moon is depicted so small in the piece of art.

3D ELEMENTS OF DESIGN: Space
In 3D art, elements of design are used to constitute parts of a design or artwork. One element of design that Eduardo Basualdo uses in his enormous sculpture "The End of Ending" is space. The element space focuses on the distance, area, or volume (the physical space) a piece of art uses. Space can often create positive and negative space in its surrounding area. Basualdo's massive sculpture of a meliorate type rock made of a paper thing material takes emphasizes space because the piece of art takes up the entire room it is displayed in. As an onlooker comes across the piece, the find themselves engulfed by the rock like figure as they squeeze themselves between the piece and the walls of the room and duck under overhanging parts of the art. This shows a good use of space because a viewer becomes very intrigued by the art as they have to walk up close and personal to the art as they continue through the museum.
