For this art piece, we were instructed to draw something that shows a form of reflection. It was meant to be literal, but could be an interpretation view as well. Some of my early concept ideas included mason jars, phone screen, glass cup with iced tea. All of these ideas showed a little bit of me in them and I thought that was cool, but I wanted something that definitely put out more than one aspect of me as a person. This is why I decided to go with a mash up of things on my desk which represent me. Nintendo Switch, sketching pencils, markers, fairy lights and last but not least, a succulent.
Throughout the piece I started with sketches and concept photos that helped me figure out a way I wanted to place the objects and take the angle of the photo from. This final picture I used came from a set of around 5 photos. From then, I sketched out a version of the piece that I found fitting and tried a few different papers to go behind the picture. I found that the darker brown color definitely suited me the best when I was working with the Prismas. I definitely had a few struggles while creating this piece. First, I had trouble adjusting to the paper and ended up having to start over, it ended up working out because I preferred the second sketch better. Things I found successful was the colors I used throughout the piece. Instead of using black, I thought of the refracted colors coming from the fairy lights created a rainbow effect so I ended up using those colors. I think looking outside the box of colors and seeing alternate colors in the image was my strong point and bringing out the brighter hues of them really pulled my piece together.
