  7. It is crazy to see how each of these paintings are very detailed but yet have an extra pop. My favorites are the third and the last one. The third one brings light to a canyon while the last one has high contrast between the foreground and background. -Annabel Wilson

  10. I like Albert Bierstadt's paintings the most, especially the third one. I think it's so cool that he included the beauty of America when he moved to New York.

  12. My favorite one is the second one because every time you look at it you will notice something new with all of the little details it has in it and how much detail it has.- Cameron Park

  13. I like how all these pictures are mainly the same colors but the closer you look the more colorful and diverse they get. Each one has their own little details and parts that make them special and unique.
