Assignment #13 Balance (symmetrical, Asymmetrical)
This is symmetrical because if you cut everything in half it will be the same on both sides. The pillows are the same and the mirrors on the wall go good with the pictures. the two end tables are the same and the lamps on the end tales. The Eiffel towers are the same on the sides of the candles.
This is Asymmetrical because if you split something in half then it wont be the same on both sides. if you cut down the middle the mirror will be on the left and the pictures will be on the right.the pillows wont be the same. On the right of the couch is a lamp and on the left is the Eiffel tower. On the table the candles are on the right and another lamp is on the left which does not make it symmetrical.

Form- There is a lot of form in the space. The desk, the couch, and the table.
Texture- The couch has a softer feel than the round table witch would be a harder feeling. The sign is visual and it's nice and bright. The pink goes good with the grey couch and the desk.

Assignment #10 Go Gatsby
Go Gatsby
This is my Gatsby inspirational room. I think it has a Gatsby feel. with the clock and the chess hut at the end of the bed. the chandelier makes it look bright and bigger and it matches the side table. the chair, I think, has a great Gatsby feel just because of the design. The ottoman has a shiny texture which was very common in the 20's. The rug just matches the room and makes it more fuller.

Assignment #7 Halloween Contest
Halloween Dinner Party
This is my Halloween dinner party picture for the contest. It's not really scary but has a homey feel for it. The wallpaper is probably the coolest thing I did besides the food on the table and the little side tables which made the room pop out. I inserted the food and the bat from the internet and I circled the rug to make it look more real and then put everything to the front so it looks like it's under stuff. I think it looks cool.

Assignment #5 Housing Styles
Housing Styles
Tudor
-The Tudor house is one of the most easily recognizable architectural styles in the world. While the style has been popular in England for centuries, the Tudor revival in America began around the turn of the 20th century. Most of these homes were lavishly built by the wealthy, although many of the homes from the latter part of the 20th century are quite modest.
Neo-Classical(Greek Revival)
-The Neoclassical Revival style is defined by a commanding facade with a full height porch, its roof supported by classical columns. The columns are often fluted and the capitals are usually ornate Ionic or Corinthian. Like the Colonial Revival, which is comparatively simple, the Neoclassical Revival is also symmetrical with its entry centered and flanked by a balanced array of windows.
Queen Anne
-A style of architecture and furniture reviving elements of Queen Anne design, popular especially in England in the late 19th century.
Bungalow
-A low house, with a broad front porch, having either no upper floor or upper rooms set in the roof, typically with dormer windows.
Ranch/Split Level
-Ranch-style houses peaked in popularity by the 1960's, when middle-class families were settling into suburban areas. The style of home provided space needed for growing families to live comfortably. Ranch-style houses were one of the first in American history to begin attaching garages to the family home.
Prairie Style
-This Frank Lloyd Wright design was to be available for the average person. Note wide overhangs, hipped roof, and bands of casements windows.
Colonial Revival(Georgian)
-This 20th Century Georgian demonstrates a symmetrical facade (spoiled only by the attached garage). Note the front door surround with it's suggestions of pillars. Front door features sidelights. This style lacks a central chimmney.
International School

Cape Cod Style
-Note the large central chimney, gabled dormers, and shingled facade. The front door uses wood trim to hint at classical pillars.
