My favorite picture in chapter 5 was the Deer's Skull with Pedernal, done by Georgia O'Keeffe. This picture is about symmetrical balance. I am kind of a perfectionist, everything has to be done perfectly before I can stop thinking about it or even move onto to something else, making it hard on me whenever I'm asked to do something such as cleaning up or even test questions. It bugs me when something is out of order and makes it seem like I have to fix it so that I can get my mind off. The good thing about the Deer's Skull with Pedernal is that it is very symmetrical on both sides. Making it look so perfect to be, it doesn't look like one side is going to tip over the other, if I were to put a point in the bottom middle portion of the picture to hold up the painting.
Another picture that I thought was amazing was the Delusions of Grandeur II, done by Rene Magritte. This is a sculpture of a body with a background that shows a sky filled with clouds. This sculpture is very unique because everything is out of order the sky looks like its out of balance but the clouds seem perfectly fine which is pretty unique. Not the mention that the body of the woman changes as it gets higher in altitude, making it smaller. This work is very creative and beautiful by how it is all set up to change as you look around the picture.
