1: Most interested
Andy Warhol's "Shadow" (1979)
-Synthetic polymer paint, diamond dust, and silkscreen ink on canvas.
I would say that Andy Warhol used the golden triangle because the positioning of the abstract contrasts form somewhat of a triangle throughout the work. This was my favorite piece because of the whole day because of the different and unique materials used, specifically the diamond dust. The way the light hits these particles is different at each angle, so wherever you stand and the position you look at it from, you are technically seeing a different image each time.



2: Interested
Andy Warhol's "Self Portrait" (1986)
-Synthetic polymer paint and silkscreen ink on canvas.
Leading lines are the most obvious composition of the work although I believe several others could apply as well. The real and implied lines in his hair and face lead the viewer's eyes to the portrait's eyes. My favorite part of the piece is how it looks 3D-like with the use of negative space and colors. Also how the colors blend into each other, meaning no piece is fully pink or fully black. I also love how the eyes are duplicated, adding to the intensity of the portrait.


3: Interested, but not as interested as the others
Gustav Klimt's "Pine Forest II" (1901)
-Oil on canvas
Klimt utilized rule of thirds because the two darkest trees are present where the vertical lines in rule of thirds would be. In the room full of art, this piece immediately drew my attention because of the aura that it gives off. It reminded me of slender-man with its mystifying dark woodsy colors. But I especially liked how in the background there is a subtle amount of light permeating the trees.
