Museum Project Picture #1

This work of art was outside and one of the first things I saw due to its pure size. This sculpture is steel red beams that are stung up by small wires, which gives the illusion that some are floating in the air. This sculpture represents many principles the first one that comes to my mind is obviously 3-D design due to its size and shape. You are allowed to walk around it which makes it possible to look at different angles. There was also a lot of negative space that added to the sculpture. Also, there is gestalt principle that is continuation principle of the steel bars behind each other.

Picture #2

This art piece is very interesting I liked it a lot, because of all the principles of gestalt involved in it, like similarity proximity and figure and ground principles. It reminds me a lot of like a window and someone shining a light into it because of the shadow boxes behind it. It is similarity because of the all the boxes that are same color and shape. It represents proximity because they are all the same thing in close proximity to each other. Lastly it represent figure and ground the most to me because you are exactly sure where to focus one when you first look at it. You can focus on the white box first and the ground becomes the shadow boxes in the back. Or you can focus on the shadows in the background and focus on the light blue boxes they form and also looking at that you use continuation because the white boxes are in the middle of the shadows and light blue boxes. So, there is many gestalt principles in this work of art.

Picture #3

They had a room filled with 144 oil painting all by the same guy, Ragnar Kjartansson, this painting drew a lot of attention because of the color scheme. I think that it had the color scheme, analogous, where there is 3 colors that are in a row on the color wheel. For this painting the three colors would be green light green and yellow. The painter followed what was talked about in class where there needs to be different ratios of the colors and not all like even amount of the colors. So, the two dominate colors are yellow and darker green and then the one that is used a little bit is light green on the bottom. I like this painting, because it sticks out and does have colors that catch your eye but when you look closer they blend together due to it being an analogous color scheme.

This is a chair, but the way it is shaped makes this an interesting form because it is concaved and a semi- circle that intrudes in the back so it can fit a person in it.
 * Forms**

This is one of the lights off a lamp, there is about 6 of them that branch off into different directions. The reason I pick this form is because it has a lot of negative space where the light blub is. Also the shape is unique because is similar to a oval if you would cut it in half, but the cut isn't completely symmetrically that is was it is interesting.

This is a interesting pillow shape, not like any other pillow. This pillow is shaped for a person arms (on the side) and back. This form is interesting because it is completely flat the arms come out creating a somewhat 3-D triangle.
