Sarah Sze's piece "Fallen Sky" best illustrates her idea of "breathing life into an inanimate object." This particular work of hers drew me in because, at first glance, the steel sculptures almost look like puddles of water suspended in midair.

I believe that "Fallen Sky" best demonstrates Sze's idea because although it is beautiful on its own, the sculpture would be nothing without the nature surrounding it. The wildlife, sun, and sky are what truly breathe life into this sculpture. It does not only add on to its surroundings but merges into it. The installation can also mimic the view of a frozen lake. The dark grass contrasts sharply with the sky's reflection in the stainless steel.

From different perspectives, it can be anything, merging seamlessly into the curve of the hill, blending into the earth, or reflecting the sky and trees.

The fact that it is dynamic and ever-changing breathes life into the piece. Analogous to life, nothing in this installation is permanent. Elapsed time and seasons will create different scenery so that no picture is ever the same.

"Self-Portrait with Striped Shirt" was made by Austrian Expressionist artist Egon Schiele with pencil and watercolor on paper. I was drawn to this illustration because of Schiele's loose, fluid, and figurative art style.

'Self-Portrait with Striped Shirt' was made by Austrian painter Egon Schiele with pencil and watercolor on paper. I was drawn to this illustration because of Schiele's loose, fluid, and figurative art style.

This piece is an interesting self-portrait. Schiele never captured himself in his art as he truly was in reality. This gives each of his works a sort of distortion. His self-portraits, and other figure drawings, are usually elongated and given a twisted body shape. In this portrait, Schiele looks at the viewer with widened eyes. He is drawn with bushy and unruly hair and raised eyebrows, which convey a form of curiosity. The neck supporting this head is slim, giving this piece an overall theme of playful and boyish youth.

His portrait is the main focus of this piece, which acts as a positive space. The blank background- or simply the paper itself- is the negative space, as it creates no distraction and allows us to focus on Schiele.

Another reason I was drawn to this illustration is because of Schiele's use of shape. His figure drawings are very loose and able to capture the human body well, but they are also very sharp and distinctive. The shapes used in his art are identifiable through the simplicity of his striped shirt, elongated, rectangular forehead, and wide circular eyes. These bold shapes make each piece simple yet expressive.

Schiele's art style can be described as biomorphic as well. His self-portraits are not an exact depiction of himself in reality. However, his use of shape and colors create a recognizable exaggeration of himself and other living forms.
