Architecture Preview 5-4-2011

This is a good picture for "detail" because it doesn't show all of the building and it is close up to the building.

I chose this picture for "light" because the top of the building is basically a bunch of windows and has a lot of natural light coming in through them.

I think that this is a good picture for "patterns" because the yellow and the white but also the building itself, part of it looks horizontal and others look vertical.

This is a good picture for "angels and shapes" because the view point of the picture changed, and also the building has different shapes.

I chose this picture for "surrounding" because the house or building looks like a big rock, and the ground and background blend in with it.
