This was my first project in Art 4, and I feel it went pretty good. I've worked with prisma-colors before, but this is my second piece. This project required having reflection(s) in the work that also describe the artist in some way. Not only that but we were supposed to pick a unique color pallet as well. I picked dark colors such as navy blue, violet, and pale red, but to make the reflections stand out, I used brighter colors to call the viewers attention.
As a child, I loved to mess around with "Hot Wheels," so I brought some in and found that I could use some of the reflections on it. This element in the piece describes my childhood. Another element I included was having the setting be night time. I love the night, especially when driving, it is very cool to see the moon light up the night and city lights reflecting the stars. Since cars are known to have distortive reflecting properties I thought this would present an interesting challenge for me. Those two things you see throughout the car are my two favorite vacation spots. One is the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse (OBX) and the other is a resort we visit every year in South Carolina (Myrtle Beach). I thought it would be cool to reflect them off different panels of the car like it was driving by them on the road. Overall I think this piece turned out pretty good, but it would still help to use this medium again in the future.
