Museum Project:

1)

This piece of work is a great example of 3D element of design regarding texture. It is a sculpture of a car that was smashed from a volcanic rock. The first thing I noticed about this sculpture was the texture of the rock against the smoothness of the car. The rock’s texture is very jagged, rough, and coarse. The car was very smooth, plane, and shiny. Together, it made a great contrast in textures.

2)

This piece of work is a great example of the gestalt principle continuation. The drawings continued throughout the 2nd floor of the museum but also had pauses and breaks. In the picture, you see that when the curve of the drawing ends on the wall, it continues with another curve starting from on the bottom of the wall again. It leads the viewers to make the connection of the missing line, even though it is not shown.

3)

This gallery is a great example of Color. The paintings are all shades and tints of purple, making this piece an example of monochromatic. This is monochromatic because it uses only one primary color, but also uses tints, shades, and tones to visually enhance the vibrancy of the painting. It is visually stimulating and leaves you with a sense of darkness and mystery.
