  1. 1.) The sun that is centered in the middle.
    2.)The sun is the center and it seems to balance out everything else.
    3.)Mostly contrast wasn't used very often because it seems to be all shiny.
    4.)Repetition comes into view as the shininess of the metal.
    5.)The base of the sculpture that starts from the sheep and goes throughout the piece leading up to the sun and back around to the sheep.
    6.)The way that they fit the piece together is really interesting its very balanced out and nothing seems too big or too small.
    7.) I would improve it by simply making the edges on the sun a little bit straighter.

  2. 1. The Sun
    2.Because its the biggest part of the project.
    3.They buffed it to make it shiny.
    4.They have used repetition by putting 2 circles on the project.
    5.Knowing that the things that were placed on it aren't all the same so it kinda makes your eye wonder.
    6.How all the shapes are detailed good.
    7.I would've made the dove a little bit bigger and the plant.

  3. 1. The Sun stands out the most.
    2. I noticed the Sun first because it's the biggest piece on the sculpture.
    3. The front parts are shiny but the base is dull.
    4. Repetition is used with the Sun and the circle, and with the plant and the sun rays.
    5. The Base.
    6. The base is interesting because it's the only dull part.
    7. I would have switched the sheep and the plant.

  4. 1. the sun
    2. it is the largest piece, in its in the center, and it is bright and shiny
    3. the darker piece of metal behind the sun makes it seem like the shiny pieces are sticking out further
    4. the suns rays are all the same, and the angles of metal behind the sun are the same
    5. the direction of the points on the sun rays makes you look in those directions
    6. The difference in shape in the end of the points on the suns rays some are curved and some are sharp
    7. I would try and make the lamb look a little more defined as a lamb

  6. 1. The sun stands out the most in this sculpture.
    2. I notice the sun the most because it is the central focal point. It really stands out above everything in their sculpture.
    3. Contrast has been used by the way that they have really shiny metal and then a little bit of darker metal.
    4. Repetition has been used in this sculpture by having the same type of angles in the sun and the plant and also the way that they designed the bottom braces to have the plant and the lamb both in the same position.
    5. It leads my eye around the sculpture by having it layed out so that both the plant and the lamb are miroring each other and then you have the focal point of the sun.
    6. What interests me about this artwork is that your eye really flows to all of the main points of the sculpture and they really made this sculpture look nice.
    7.I would maybe change the way that the moon is placed on the sun other than that I think it is really good.

  7. 1. The sun stands out the most in the sculpture when i first view it. 2. I notice the sun first because it is the biggest piece and it is right in the center. 3. Contrast has been used with the shiny pieces and the normal dark pieces of land on the bottom. 4. Repetition has been used with the pointy parts of both the sun and plant, and the pieces of land on the bottom, and the shiny pieces sitting on the land. 5. The pieces around the sun are what lead my eye around from place to place. 6. The things that interest me about this artwork are the different elements that come together to make a story that you can automatically see in the piece of work. I would improve this sculpture by maybe not making all of the top pieces shiny and maybe have left some of the dark like the bottom piece.

  8. the first thing i see when i look at this peace is the sun and the negative and positive space.

    why i noticed the sun was because it is the biggest peace on the project.

    contrast has been used in this peace because all the peaces were shinny except the base it was on.

    the sun has repetition was used in the sun,base,bush,

    the peace that leads my eye around are all the shinny peaces.

    other thing that interest me about this peace is the base it is a cool design.

    the thing that could be improved is the shininess

  9. 1. I would say that the sun stands out the most in this art piece.
    2. I guess, because it is in the center and the largest element in the art piece.
    3. The piece can be contrasted by the different metal that is being used. For Example: As you can see some metal is shiner than the others. In which it makes it stand out more.
    4. I would say that they used repetition by having numerous of angles in the sun and they are the same size.
    5. The way it is designed and the different animals that is used is what leads my eye around.
    6. The way that laid there pieces together is very interesting and the animals that they chose.
    7. The thing that i would change would be making the sun 3D by rising it. But other than that its a great project.

  10. 1. The sun stands out the most.
    2. The sun stands out the most due to it being the focal point of the entire piece.
    3. The contrast is the dullness of the base and the shininess of the pieces themselves.
    4. The reuse of the shiny element in each piece is the repetition of the art piece.
    5. The rays of the sun pointing makes my eye flow to all the important pieces.
    6. The balance of the piece is also interesting.
    7. Make the lamb look more like a lamb.
