My Art Work

I created a very simplified version of The Star. I took a piece of cardboard and used it as the background. I cut out a string of bokeh lights from a photo in one of the magazines, and used them to shape objects from the card. I used pink ones as the sky, and spread purple glitter glue around them. Then I used the yellow lights to make 2 cups. I drew water with a blue marker, emerging from the bottom of the cups. I used green lights below one cup, to represent Earth and blue lights to represent water, or the lake. Finally I topped the card off with a single silver star, created with silver glitter glue.

I didn't know what I wanted to do, but when I saw the photo with bokeh lights I immediately wanted to use them because a) they were very colorful and b) I love photography so it felt meant to be haha! I wasn't sure how to place everything until I had all the circular lights cut out and just started to mindlessly arrange them. I was thankful for this experience because I didn't really know what I wanted to do for the final so this project gave me inspiration and I drew ideas as I thought about what I did and didn't like from this piece of art.
