Multiple surfaces, clothing patterns, textures, and gripping colors are all over the place. The key to noticing these backgrounds is to stop and simply look around. When I was taking my pictures to define patterns, textures and colors I thought there would be no better place to start than the place I visit all the time, my apartment. I started looking around in every corner and I found endless canvases with different forms of the art principles. I found colors that stood out and balanced off of others. Patterns in the arrangement of objects prevailed in the most random places that I never noticed before. This assignment allowed me to explore the place most people would think is easiest to understand, but in reality most of us do not even notice the art that surrounds us. The colors, shapes, and textures we place within our homes are our own choice and is a mirror representation of our personalities. Through this assignment I not only learned about art principles, but I learned my own artistic personality through the art surrounding me. The reason I choose to use the objects within my own apartment was to prove to my audience that there is so many designs within everyday objects and we do not have to look further than our own homes to notice the simplicity of art.

Most of these images are interesting and illustrate great potential - meaning: you need to zoom in on some of your images to better frame the surface or hidden texture of the object. For instance, the image of three wine glasses is an image more about objects than it is of textures, patterns or surface. However, at the end of your study it appears you photographed the bottom of the glass from the rim. That is interesting because it obscures and bends the information on the other end. The image of pens works and would be stronger without the overlapping placement. This same idea doesn't work as well for the wine bottles as you currently have them, but it could if you get closer, turn them so labels aren't interfering, etc.
