Theme: Abstract

Type of lighting: flourscent bulbs

Colors used on wall: various colors such as light blue, pink

Materials used: looks like projector sheets

Movement: 

Analysis: The themes that are used in this art are color, texture, variety and form

Interpretation: My interpretation on this artwork is that the idea of using different lights to bounce off the walls was a good idea. It is a good thing that the creator John Toth used more than one theme in his artwork because in my opinion, it makes it look better and I can come up with many interpretations for the artwork. 

 Name: Cigarette

Theme: installation art

Type of lighting: Sunlight

Colors used on wall: does not apply

Materials used: metal and paint

Analysis: The elements that are used in this artwork are form and texture

Interpretation: I have a negative interpretation on this piece of work because it is too simple, boring and I don't seem to understand the point of this piece. Usually the name of the artwork is supposed to reflect how the piece looks, but not this piece. I honestly have no idea what the artist was trying to say in this artwork, but it is possible for someone to form an metaphor. 

Name: Cycladic Heads

Creator: Jiří Kolář

Scale: 15.5 X 17.75 X 5.87 inches

Theme: based on culture

materials used: Chiasmage on wood

Analysis: The elements that are used in this piece of artwork are balance, texture and form

Interpretation: My interpretation for this artwork is that the artist is trying to show three different types of people because each of the cycladic heads are totally different from each other. I believe that the artist is just trying to show me and others different people.
