  1. 1.The circle at the top right.
    2.Its so big.
    3.Some shapes had darker shades then others and some had lighter shades then others but most of then were shiny.
    4.They have similar shapes that kinda look the same so that's how they used repetition.
    5.Just knowing that there are so many different shapes and you just want to look at them all.
    6.That they made their own shapes.
    7.I like it just the way it is.

  2. 1.) The shapes of the metal pieces stand out to me the most.
    2.)I noticed that the element that I mentioned because they are just really eye catching.
    3.) Contrast in this piece when some of the pieces of metal were shinier then some of the underlying background pieces.
    4.) Repetition was being used by the types of shapes in the piece they are all similar but different at the same time.
    5.)What leads my eye around from place to place in this piece is the circular form of the sculpture itself.
    6.)Another thing that interests me about this piece is the creativity of it, simply because I would not have thought of it myself.
    7.)I would improve it by maybe filling in the open spaces or painting some of the pieces a bright color.

  4. 1. The circle in the middle of the piece is what stands out the most.
    2. It's surrounded by empty space.
    3. Contrast is used in the layers.
    4. Repetition is used by the circles.
    5. The way some of the pieces fit together.
    6. The layers.
    7. I would have spaced it out more so that it isn't so compressed.

  6. 1. The different shapes and sizes are what stand out the most when i view it. 2. I notice the shapes and sizes because they are what the whole piece consists of, and there is a great variation in shapes that stand out. 3. Contrast has been used the shapes that are in the sculpture and the shiny that is visible in each piece. 4. The repetition that i see is the shiny in the pieces because all of the pieces are different and they really aren't repeated. 5. The difference in the shapes are what lead my eye around from place to place. 6. The thing that interest me about this artwork is that is is different and there is really nothing in the piece that is the same, it is all different. 7. I would improve this piece by making the pieces different shades of shiny or leave some regular so that they aren't all the same shade of shiny so that they stand out more and you can notice the different in each piece better.

  7. the thing that stands out in this peace is every thing

    i noticed all the elements because it pops out

    contrast has not been used in this peace because all the peaces are different .

    there was no repetition in this project because nothing is the same.

    what leads my eye around is all the different peaces

    the other thing that interest me is the shinny parts

    the thing i would do to improve this peace is to shine the peaces more

  8. 1. The big circle to the top right stands out the most to me in this sculpture.
    2. This piece stands out the most to me due to its size and that piece taking up most of that space.
    3. Contrast was used in the form of depth to give each piece a different angle compared to the next.
    4. The repetition is that all pieces are shiny.
    5. The pieces overlapping and mixing with one another leads my eye from place to place.
    6. Each piece being unique is another interesting point.
    7. To improve the piece I would fill in the holes in the center of the piece.

  9. 1. All the different sizes and shapes of the pieces are what stand out the most to me.
    2. I notice this because that is the main theme of the whole sculpture how all of the different sizes and shapes of the pieces come together to make one big sculpture.
    3. There is contrast in the different sizes of the pieces and also there is contrast in the different heights of the pieces in the sculpture.
    4. Repetition has been used by having the same amount of negative space repeating and also some of the heights of the pieces repeat.
    5. What leads your eye around this sculpture is the way that the pieces are at different levels of height and also just the layout causes your eye to move around.
    6. What interests me about this artwork is that it is different and unique.
    7. What I would do to improve this sculpture is either add different textures to the pieces so that they aren't all the same or paint the pieces with different colors and designs so that the pieces don't all run together. This would also make the sculpture will stand out more.

  10. 1. I would say that the different shapes is the most that stands out.
    2. The element that i mentioned in number one, is that all pieces are 3D.
    3. Contrast has been used by the shiner of some metals to the ones that are lying under some pieces.
    4. Repetition is used by having all pieces curved and they have a repetition of circles.
    5. The way the pieces are laid out, and the different shapes.
    6. The way they used all their pieces to hide all negative spaces.
    7. Maybe grind the edges more and clean it up alittle.
