 * ART PIECE 1:**








 * This painting, done by the artist Francis Bacon, exemplifies split complimentary color scheme. If you look at the painting up close, there are a lot of orange red tones as well as blue and green. Using those colors, the artist was able to draw a visible figure as well as a background which appears to be some land with trees and a sky. On the color scheme, those colors would constitute as split complimentary which is why I picked this art piece.**


 * ART PIECE 2:**








 * The artist Olafur Eliasson in his piece, known as the Reykjavik Series, exemplified similarity in a unique way. His piece consists of a series of photos of different houses framed in standard white frames, all aligned in symmetrical rows and columns. Although the houses are all of very different designs and color, they appear similar because they are closely grouped together which gives the effect of it appearing as a connected whole rather than separate. If you look closely at the piece, you will notice the differences in the houses and they will start to appear separate but from a far it appears as one piece which is why I believe it is a great example of similarity.**


 * ART PIECE 3:**








 * Artist Bruce Nauman's piece "From Hand to mouth" is a great example of 3D design. Through this sculpture, made from wax on cloth, the saying "From Hand to mouth" is expressed in it's literal form. This frontal piece outlined the curves and lines of a hand, arm, chin and mouth giving it an accurate shape of the object trying to be presented. In terms of texture, it has a smooth appearing base somewhat similar to smooth youthful skin. I choose this piece because it exemplifies aspects of 3D design in a unique way which makes the viewer intrigued and want to look further into the piece.**
